We have several useful threads with pictures of the 400 Factory Lithium installs.
But, it seems there is only 1 photo of a Factory Lithium installs. New owners are launching now. On the FB group pages, there is considerable confusion about the who/what/where of the various parts of the 320 setup. It is much more complicated than before. If anyone can provide some photos it would be very helpful.
Where is the Gloso circuit breaker? Where is the battery switch? Do all of the new 320 lithium options include an inverter?
Or: maybe it is just me that is confused! But, pictures will definitely help.
I did find a thread with the 2023 "Lithium Package Breakdown" for the 320, but it appears that some 320s are having lithium batteries installed without the inverter and Multiplus, etc?

Plus more storage space in our little trailers gets eaten up by equipment
The nüCamp 2023 Tab Owners Manual implies all Lithium Package build will get the same set of component:
Readings the above indicates the very basic connections will be: (plus in-line breakers, fuses, ??)

1 in 100 if that Dealer RV Video's include images or discussion about what is 'behind the doors' . . . drives me crazy
Hopefully, some new owners will start sharing meaningful 'for us tech folks' pictures.

So the equipment configuration under the bench seats and rear sofa is: {{correct?}}
So from a general storage view. The 320 yr-2023 Lithium Package has storage space in the 'wall cabinets**' and some minor space under the Drivers Side Bench . . . a big change from the pre-Air8, flooded-battery model years that had the Air8 space and Passenger Bench open for general storage . . .

Referencing your picture:
Can you confirm that the Fuse Wires " B " are indeed the battery internal heater connection.
Is " C " the Smart Shunt, a close-up picture would be nice.
The image below shows typical Tab 400 components.
We're trying to determine which of these the Li-Ion Pkg 320 has.
+ Fuse Link ( 'A' above ??)
+ Gloso Breaker
+ A Common 12vDC Distribution Block
And, does your rig have Solar?
If Yes; Controller location/picture, solar panel fuse loc/pic.
How is Controller wired to Battery or MultiPlus

P.S. expect this will be the last update based on Picture Information
Actual wire tracing required for greater accuracy & detail.

I've run my Air8 for three hours on two 100Ah LiFePO4's during testing. Could have gone longer, but I don't have a shunt so didn't know my exact state of charge. How long you can go would depend greatly on the outside temperature and how often the compressor has to cycle on.

Which is one of it's default features generally described in Marketing Literature (Victor, nuCamp) as:
Multiplus charges the battery when connected
to shore power and does 120V AC passthrough.
When shore power is unavailable, the integrated
inverter can provide 120V AC to the entirety of the
camper using available battery power
That's because the MultiPlus includes a Fast Automatic Transfer Switch, when 120VAC Shore Power is not available or drops out the MultiPlus Inverter automatically turns-on and takes up the load using the Batteries as the power source. As your experiment shows it works but is not as Fast to switch or as continuous power as some VAC appliances might like.
We Campers can control this feature via the 'Switch' on the MultiPlus or the VictronConnect App. The Multiplus can be set to Charger-Only so the batteries aren't loaded with the VAC loads when source power drops out.

I guess NuCamp figured Solar and the inverter charging circuit's would do?
Thanks for any previous insight. Not a lot of threads on this topic. I plan on documenting my installation if the masses confirm my suspicions.
[1] Correct, the Lit-Package WFCO panel is only for power distribution.
Battery Charging is generated in the Multi-plus.
[2] You are the first owner to trace-out the 7-pin wiring of the Aux Battery 12+ Source to
the Lit-Package setup.
[3] As far as known (today) there are no Current Direction Flow control elements in the 12VDC
wiring. That is no diode restricting current flow direction . . . So it seems reasonable that the
7-pin +12VDC goes to the WFCO panel, then to the batteries via the installed wiring.
Of course the TV +12VDC supply will only provide as few Amp-Hours of charging capacity.
