Nice system ! I think you're n a very good path. I believe you are correct about the Battle Born price issues. I've ran Chins for ~18 months without issues. Simple dollars & cents; $950 vs $300. Just as a comparison at the opposite end of the power spectrum needs..... As long time (RV'r 45+ years not full timers); we use 2-100 amp/hour LIFePO4 batteries, 2-100 W solar panels, 500W inverter & 2000W inverter/generator (for backup & occasional 110 needs) . When down South in AZ we never run short on power. Here in our area (PNW) we camp in the wooded areas. We do have a lot of overcast in the Winter, so we have to watch it a bit close and use the genny for a few hours about every 3 days. We very rarely use our A/C. Summers up here are pretty mild with only a few days over mid 90's and it cools down at night. Our 3 Fantastic Fans do us just fine. Your humity is killer down there, we have very little.
My only issue I’ve had with LiTime was their BMS were sensitive and sometimes shutdown on me. Switch to Renogy and never had an issue. I agree some of these brands are asking huge prices
I have the same rv and solar setup, but 12v with 400ah. I am thinking on making a 980ah Diy with eve cells. 1 other thing I love about our system is the power assist. I have a small 2k gen I bring with me when dry camping and it can charge my bank and run the ac at the same time. Love victron
Thanks for all ya do. Have not got a RV yet but I sure am interested in getting one someday. Definitely going with a 24 volt system. My future RV is going to be a Grand Design Momentum 410th. Truck someday will be a Ram 3500 dually. I am very familiar with 120/240 volt systems. I was a apprentice electrician for 4 years. Still do some electrical work on a as needed basis. I also know alot about vehicles. I try to do all my own maintenance. Thanks
The video I was seeking!! I’m planning an almost identical system for my 30a class c (but with the 230ah batteries) and I’m excited as it looks like it’ll be perfect for my power hungry needs.
You won’t need the 2 x120 inverter with a 30a , that will make things a bit simpler. We’ve actually added another battery for a total of 15,000wh. Thats a more recent video. You thinking 24v or 12v system?
@@saltytrips yeah, getting the non 2x120 model but going 24v still. The difference in wire size for everything is huge and when I laid it all out (With my Solar plans), it ends up being cheaper, even with the 12v converters.
@@saltytrips looking forward to it! Loving the content and answering the questions I think most of us actually have (just watched your tankless one and glad you mentioned how much propane you guys used).
Great video, nice system. BattleBorn Batteries are very expensive for what you get, to many other options. We are planking on doing a similar system. Safe travels
We’ve upgraded a lot sense this video, you can check em out here ruclips.net/video/HmhbyLoQnng/видео.htmlsi=i_M0n8Dk3ThR4tzF And our solar install here ruclips.net/video/sUMpSowNvSk/видео.htmlsi=d7iDtEgvcAgiaHpO
We just picked up a 2020 36ft Chaparral 5th wheel. Your doing exactly what id like to do to mine. Great video and im going to have to watch your install video.
Nice system, I have almost the same thing except in 12 volt with 800 watts of solar. First time seeing your channel, subscribed. We even have a cougar fifth wheel and a 7.3 Godzilla ford truck!
Right on 👊💥 welcome aboard, we’ve actually upgraded even more since this video, we have a Victron play list on our channel page. Which cougar do you have? Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
What are you seeing for idle draw? I have my camper in storage now, pulling 0 watts. When I turn the inverters on, it's showing 23-24 watts for the AC load (which I assume is just idle load), but the DC usage is ~80 watts. I've hand calculated from the BMS Ah to confirm that number. It seems crazy that the system uses 80 watts extra just to power the inverters.
@@saltytrips I'll do some more experimenting. I let it run overnight and it was drawing around 60 watts on the DC side (hand calculated from the battery BMS). I'm going to flip the breakers off this evening and see if I have some vampire loads that I could switch off. Stay tuned!
Hello. It is me again. With that much battery, go with 4k or 6k watts. Convert as much as possible to 120volts. I use only 1 victron 24v to 12v converter. I will probably add a second. As you know, I have 1500watts x 624volt x20watt solar panels on the roof. I have 200lbs of 24v 404kwh LiFePo4 batteries. Let's talk.
Impressive! If you were booning without the AC, I wonder how long you would go? I just bought a Class A with my first residential fridge, 12 volt CPAP and 12 volt cooler has me wondering how long I could go without the genny until I save for solar.
We just added another battery, video just came out. We’ll do some more test soon. Now that its winter time there won’t be as much AC use, this is Florida so ya never know.
@@saltytrips Yeah saw that, equally impressive, My thoughts were 800-1200 AH's but my hangup to 24 V transition and solar is that I think I need to replace the 12 V Magnum inverter to go with either another 24 V Magnum or the MultiPlus which will make things super pricey.
@@dwayneearle8787 this biggest bonus of the Multiplus II 2x120 is that it goes inline with the shore power and automatically takes over when you loose shore power and the power assist if uour moochdocking on 15a or 30a shore power with a 50a rig.
First, great video! Second, after you hit 10% and turned shore power back on, how long does it take to charge both batteries back to 100%? Third, do you have a DC to DC charger by chance and if not, do you plan on getting one, and why or why not?
I didn’t time the charge time, probably should have though, i think it only took a few hours. No Dc to Dc charger yet, not sure if i’m going to bother, time will tell.
Thats a little reductive , exchange of money comes with a contract and stipulations. They gave me a product for review, I’m not beholden to them in any way.

We have four LiTime batteries now and have never had an issue, this is the first Ive heard of it.
I have the same rv and solar setup, but 12v with 400ah. I am thinking on making a 980ah Diy with eve cells.

We are going to get a small duel fuel generator too, don’t really need a lot with that power assist.
This is exactly what I've been thinking about doing to get started! probably half that kwh to get started

New to your channel but, can you provide and ideas for saving money at RV sites? Thanks....Dave
Welcome aboard, Like a cost of living video vs brick and mortar cost? Or ideas on how to save on RV living?
Love your system! Can’t wait til the solar is on the roof.
Video should be finished in about a week
First, great video! Second, after you hit 10% and turned shore power back on, how long does it take to charge both batteries back to 100%? Third, do you have a DC to DC charger by chance and if not, do you plan on getting one, and why or why not?

Once you get a few solar panels…… you will be able to run all day with no problems!
Unless there are trees and cover… lol
Thats the plan, time will tell 👍
Let's us know when you install solar panels and please show the install. Btw ... awesome videos for installs.
@@tferrini03 it’s coming, have a few more upgrades first. Make sure you have the notification 🔔 bell on 👍
❤ We need to see more puppies vidos 😊
10000 kwh?
Check out video description 👍
He means 10,000 Watt Hours or 10 KW
By them giving you a battery they are paying you. Nice system.
Thats a little reductive , exchange of money comes with a contract and stipulations. They gave me a product for review, I’m not beholden to them in any way.
Do you have solar panels
As i explained in the video, not yet, it’s an ongoing project, have a few more things to tackle before those are put on.
At3:20 lol
And at 4:50’ish bahahaha
5:29 too ,,,dang
