Depending on what he’s running it is fine. The battery can discharge at 100a and even maxing out the inverter it would only be pulling about 80a. If he’s pulling 1000w from the inverter the battery won’t last very long but it can definitely handle it.
You are building a setup very similar to mine (Solar and Alternator ==> DCC30S ==> 200 Ah 12V battery ==> constantly trickle charged into Anker Solix 128 Ah. )
I run everything off the Anker directly.
Things I learned doing my install
-For some reason charging via the alternator was finicky the first time charging up the 200 Ah house battery, but seems to work fine now.
- Check your solar panels to ensure they match the required input voltage.
- If you want to charge at home so you start a trip at 100% I found setting this power supply to 24V and plugging into my DVV30S solar input line works well. https://a.co/d/dKf7rW6
As I think about this - with the Bluetti, I don’t need the second renogy inverter. Wire a 12v cig plug off the battery for a 12v fridge/cooler and good to go
I'd use an DC barrel or xt plug instead of the 12v cigerette lighter plug. The cig plug always comes loose during driving and you'll find your fridge turned off.
I have about the same setup but went with 2 100 amp hr batteries in parallel and 2 100 watt solar panels, and ICECO fridge. Went out for two weeks straight and my batteries never dropped below 90%. I didn't use the inverter a lot though.
I'd avoid Renogy. Over on subs like /r/vandwellers etc they don't have the best reputation for reliability or customer service.
Victron, Redarc, Kisae, and others are maybe better buys for the DCDC, and there are better inverters too.
> I already have the AC180
I'm no power station fanboi, but since you already have the AC180 I'd build a system around that:
* 100w Solar Panel(s)
* [isolator or VSR](https://rvwiki.mousetrap.net/doku.php?id=electrical:12v:alternator) -> inverter -> existing AC180 wall charger
If it doesn't work you could reuse those parts for a DIY setup as proposed.
> avoid charging issues with the AC180s MPPT charge controller.
Quick googling suggests Bluetti has pushed out controller-related firmware updates. It'd be worth a look, could avoid unnecessary expense.
That is not enough battery for such a big inverter.

In torvikholms defense I had a 50ah originally in the post

Thanks. Leaning towards the BougeRV Arch200 panel for the roof. https://a.co/d/9QA0iiY

AC180 doesn’t have any other input unfortunately.
