Absolutely. Will need to draw up some diagrams and plan out all the components that I'll need.

Many (most?) of the non-chinese knock-offs have a BMS built into the battery, however I might need something else between the alternator and batteries or the inverter/charger and the batteries. Haven't gotten to that level of planning yet.

I don't think vibration is a large concern. They are currently in use in RV, Boat and PIV (Powered Industrial Vehicle) applications. I'd probably insulate them, mainly for thermal efficiency as they don't like freezing temps, which should also provide some level of vibration dampening.
