Thank you, Offgrid , for the info. Installing it inside the trailer will definitely make it more convenient to use

Beth, look at my mods for how I installed my LiFePO4 battery in our 179. It may give you some ideas on how to do it. If you are putting it in in place of the lead-acid battery/batteries, then you will need to change out the converter so it will have the correct charging profile for the battery. If you intend to have it charge while driving, you will likely need to do like I did and install a separate charging circuit and a DC to DC charger. Otherwise, you might find that the battery is not charging as the tow vehicle's control thinks it does not need to supply power from the generator since the LiFePO4 battery is at a higher charge than the TV's battery. The DC to DC charger and separate charging circuit fix this. We don't have a Lead-Acid battery on the tongue anymore. We just have the 100AH LIFePO4 battery inside. It works pretty well.
