- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- In this informative video, viewers are invited to join us as we test out a brand new circuit in our travel trailer. Using an EcoFlow Delta Pro power bank and an automatic transfer switch, we set out to see just how long we can keep our refrigerator running on a single charge. This experiment is a crucial step in our ongoing quest to improve our camping/boondocking setup and achieve greater independence in off-grid environments. If successful, this innovation will be a game-changer for anyone who loves camping and wants to keep their food cold without relying on traditional power sources. This video is the perfect opportunity for viewers to learn more about this cutting-edge technology and see it in action. Don't forget to check out our playlist for more exciting videos documenting the transfer switch installation process and other camping tips and tricks!

I see that its a norcold fridge. Whats the model #?
Yes, it's a Norcold, model N10DCSSL. Here is a link to the N10DCSSR, which has a reversible door to get to the L version. amzn.to/3uF0K5x
Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next one as well!
Thanks for watching!
I just purchased the eco flow pro and a back up battery for a total of 7,200watts. I am even considering a second battery back up to make ot over 10,000. I have a 35 foot class a but want to focus on general power to allow us more boondocking experiences. This was a great example of how/what it might draw. This is new for me and I thank you for posting!
It sounds like you'll have a great set-up! We are really happy with the performance of our Delta Pro. We make several trips per year from Michigan to Montana (30+ hours of driving) and spend those two to three nights along the way, Boondocking. Our biggest concern is keeping the refrigerator running while the vehicle is shut off. If we are careful not to use any other power after parking for the night, this unit can last the three nights without recharging during the trip. My next step on this project will be to add a circuit to directly charge the Delta Pro from the tow vehicle while the engine is running. On a day with 14 hours of driving, that will replenish the DP by a significant amount. I've also purchased more solar panels for the roof. There was one small panel installed by the factory, but there is room for another 600 watts. Both of those upgrades will be in future videos. Thanks for watching!
This is amazing, thanks.
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.
Put a soft start on you air conditioner and this will run it no problem. also after the solar panels add the extra battery and have even more fun boon docking
Thanks! I have been considering a soft start unit. The Delta Pro will run the AC as is, but it does use a lot of energy, so we usually minimize/avoid the AC to prioritize keeping the food cold. Once we have some recharge capabilities (the solar panels), then the soft start will make a lot of sense.
How long to recharge from empty? BTW The flexible solar panels feature the latest CIGS technology (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide). These CIGS panels can easily be installed with the included adhesive, and are form-fitting to fit multiple surfaces. Very nice for a Travel Trailer
Not real sure. I've never let it get below 10%. Also, there are several settings to choose on recharge rate, and I've never chosen the fastest recharge, which I think is 1800watt input. Just doing the math, it should take a couple hours to fully recharge (to the 3.6 kWh using 1800W input). If I get bored, I suppose I could do a video to confirm the math.
Assuming this is the 1300w Delta model?
No, it's the Delta Pro, 3600w.
Is that refrigerator running on AC or DC?
It's running on the 30amp AC output from the Delta Pro. Check out the playlist to see how it is wired via a transfer switch to feed into the same circuit that normally carries the shore power.
@@thePFOchannel Interesting. I use an Eco Flow in my truck camper that is wire via a transfer switch as well. When my fridge is set to AC the Norcold fridge draws 300 watts which is way more than your fridge was drawing.
Thanks for reply.
The inverter uses 30W when on. So actually the inverter used more power than your fridge.
Yes, the fridge was surprisingly low on power consumption. The Keurig is the heavy user, but fortunately, it doesn't take long to brew a cup.
