Would highly recommend will prowse on YouTube that covers DIY systems, he has lots of videos on everything and a website.
Basically a 200amp x 12v battery should have 2400 wh.
Their 400W panel alone pretty expensive - a price I'd never pay.. but this bundle is nice - I'd have paid this to get the 400W with my D2 (mine came with a 160W @ $875 back in 2022).
Mine has helped get me through multiple blizzard/cold-weather power outages, and I've fed it with a pair of bigger rigid 455W panels to get a continuous 500W (11-60V, 15A, 500W max) on sunny days after a storm to reduce generator use. Next time will be my bigger hybrid inverter that'll take whatever 2-6 of those 455W panels have to give
Actually, you can, and I have (fed my manual transfer switch with one of these Delta 2s) - see above. It's not going to run your whole-house AC or your electric stove.. but it can certainly help keep your gas furnace and fridge going in the middle of a winter outage.

Was looking at this for a camper but don't know if 12v batteries, plus solar, an inverter and a charge controller is better.

Just get ready for a lot of eye rolls if he posts one of his rant videos about people and politics. Guy has a lot of anger built up against the world.
Way too tiny.
This could power an e-kooler for days, and as long as you had sunny days every 2nd day or every day it could power it all summer long.
I have a "solar generator" only slightly larger in Wh and it has done 2 summers for me with 400 W panels hooked up.
My e-kooler is a massimo , probably this one

I'm guessing it would need a pro to hook into the mains with a manual or automatic switch? Any idea how much that kind of set up costs on top of the hardware here?

It depends on what you have and what you want, exactly.. but shouldn't be more than $500-1k all said and done for a manual transfer switch.

Lookup interlock kits as the lowest cost. Manual transfer switches and automatic transfer switches.
Depends on how comfortable you are with changing main breakers.
Is the ecoflow Delta 2 Max worth the additional $300? Is currently $1499. Really wish Costco had these now for their potential return policy if needed.
