Best Camper Battery

Weighing the pros and cons between lead acid and lithium batteries such as wet cell, gel cell, AGM, and LiFePO4 to pick the best camper battery.
We are extending the limits of our electrical knowledge with this 24V 360Ah LiFePO4 battery. The LiFePO4 chemistry is one of the more stable types of lithium battery, making for a lightweight, incredibly efficient, and safe power sources available for nomadic living. We are sharing the process of assembling our own DIY battery.

To know how large of an electrical system we need, we need to estimate our consumption. It's a task that seems simple at first, until you really sit down to think through all the variables. To know our power draw, we need to know what appliances we will be using but we are holding off on buying those high ticket items until we have our power system in place. So, this is a process of educated guesses and many rabbit holes. Many of the numbers in this post are derived from much more involved research broken out in other posts. But here is as close to a summary as I, the obsessive documenter, can manage.
