That's good you fixed it...well done...

Yeah I still have a filter inline with pump......

Thanks for the comment, yes nice of them to cut wire so short......you'll be happy once it's done though...

@daveclarke5512 thank you...

@daveclarke5512 thanks for the comment

@daveclarke5512 good to hear.....I'm still happy with pump

Inverter wired to Switchboard,Switchboard already has a rcd protecting circuits

Beening lithium..it's pretty good...just depends how big your load is....but most things I use it for doesn't effect voltage

True 👍

I have the earth from inverter to switchboard ...wired into the other earth's....the neutral from the inverter go straight into change over switch with inverter active....change over switch separates 240v input plug on side of van from inverter input....

Hey mate, I believe the renogy does have a pass through, I don't use it that offen sometimes when off grid..so don't need it to pass through, just turn on when I want it...I think the lifespan of the inverter would last longer if the Electronics /heating terminals aren't running consistently when I'm using 240v....not sure what you mean by putting the single GPO on battery, that GPO for charger is only 240v, not for inverter. Not sure what you mean

@@muddyandsandy I see, thanks. I'm still learning a lot about all this 12v stuff so probably didn't articulate myself very well. As far as passthrough works, it bought it turned the inverter off when it senses shore power, but activates it when shore power ceases. With the charger PowerPoint, is that purely for shore power to charge the batteries? So does that mean you could have that GPO not patched through the inverter but standalone through shore power? Or am I interpreting its function wrong? Also, will you put your lithium batteries under the bed space sealed and vent them outside?

@hemz8058 all good...I have wired they whole van off the inverter, eg. Inverter output straight to switchboard with change over cicruit breaker,that's why I turn off the GPO for the charger, if you don't then power goes around in circles....eg....from inverter to GPO charger to battery's out of battery's to inverter to GPO charger etc.....that's pointless...so i just turn it off, easy to do..

Your right...The cheap one...was fine....I'd be happy with it....thanks for the comment

That would be interesting....might have to look into it.....thanks for the comment..

@@muddyandsandy you’re welcome ☺️😉

Yeah, pretty sure I only put a 250 because it was only 70mm2....70mm2 rated to 250amps I think, yeah 400 would be good, I don't really use it for big loads....thanks for the comment

@@muddyandsandy no link on what to buy

It possibly could be, I will chamge out the diesel fuel...and see how we go....thanks for the comment

Not a bad ideal....I'll see if I can find some...thanks for the comment

Yeah nice one, iv hear you can put abit of kerosene in with diesel, to help......thanks for the comment

100%, that's something that i've just learnt, so i'll make so i do that mate....thanks for the comment

Poor combustion, most likely due to the incorrect installation of your fuel line from the pump to the heater. The fuel line MUST follow a continual uphill incline from pump to heater, I noticed you have loop in your fuel line, this will be trapping air bubbles and will cause poor combustion. Also make 100% certain that your nylon fuel line is pushed flush against the steel nipple on the pump and the heater, if not, you will trap air bubbles. Air bubbles act like damper, and will cause poor fuel delivery to the heater.

Hager 40amp

@@muddyandsandy thanks

Yep...that's the black rubber seal between heater and metal plate...

Your probably right.....they do that to other products

@@muddyandsandy looking at just going straight for the gentrax 800, only to run the kickass 22 amp charger in case of little sun for solar on trips, is cheap and plastic but also small and seems ok from the reviews 👍

Don't really have any concerns with the location..better than in van, pretty sure most lithium battery's have a short circuit protection......but i totally get what you mean if you did a river crossing etc..thanks for the comment

Thanks for comment, appreciate it..yeah the wiring is shocking, nothing labeled...a terminal box would be better for sure

I have a redarc one...yes i love the victrons, a victron one would be good on my inverter..as the inverter doesn't show on my system...I use to have a Bluetooth one in my 79 was great ,but have sold it now ...thanks for the reminder

Glad you liked it....thanks for the comment

I put it the other way....but I would like to check If that's the right way..

@@muddyandsandy ok i think you are correct on further analysis but let me know please

I wanted the fuse to blow before cable gets hot.....2500w÷13v=192amps.....up to you, as long as fuse size is smaller than cable capacity...

I'll look into it...I have the inverter wired to the change over switch ,which keeps the neturals separated...same earth link though....but ill double check thanks for the info

It's been good so far....pretty happy with it....might just need a air vent

Thanks for the info

Can't remember..

I'll check it out...

Yes, I have watched a utube video on this and you need to run a RVD to be safe with running a inverter and generate

Thanks for the comment...

Hey....if you are running high load appliances...there will be some warmth....but shouldn't be a hot..

Redlands Brisbane....

Yeah 4/0 awg would be good...so not much voltage drop....3000 watt inverter can only 230amps roughly...3000w÷13v=230 amp...400amp breaker doesn't sound right....breaker is designed to protect cable before it melts...so the breaker size needs to be similar capacity to cable capacity.......

The 4/0 cable has a 440 amp cap. Soni under shot the breaker to 400. My inverter info said it can rock all the way up to 375

I am running a 12v system. So I get slapped with high requirements. Pulled this off Google. The current draw will depend on the battery voltage. If the inverter is connected to a 12V battery bank, it can draw up to 350 amps, while if connected to a 24V battery bank, it can draw up to 175 amps

Thanks for the info....I'll have a look at them

I'll have a look

It's going well. .pretty happy with it...great price

Yes you could just use the resettable fuse to turn off....but I perfered to have a isolator..as it's designed to be a switch...

Nothing wrong with adding a isolator...just like your house aircon has a isolator and circuit breaker.....isolator easy to use

Thanks

Redarc system come with the van, when I purchased it, the next step was to upgrade batterys

@@muddyandsandy Based on the various brands which I a saw in your video, that makes sense. Cheers

Yeah..I didn't really want to do it....but it was the best place....don't really notice it anymore...looks like it's supposed to be there....and it's been great..so much safe r

Didn't really noticed it getting hot...I'm sure there would be some heat...but didn't notice it as a problem...sorry
