  • We added the Ecoflow Delta 2 Max to our van in order to have an additional 200 amp of Lithium power and 2400 watts inverter with simple installation, using thick 14 AWG extension cords. Please consult your electrician before doing the project.
    GFCI outlets are generally recommended, but our airstream OEM outlets were not GFCI, so we replaced with non-GFCI.

    I bought my EcoFlow for the same exact reason.
    I hope people are paying attention. This was worth every penny.
    I have used mine for everything from cooking to keeping food warm in transport to powering the RV when it in in storage to do maintenance.

    In my opinion, it’s a lot easier if you Tap the EcoFlow through your 30amp circuit breaker control panel using additional ATS and you can run all outlets and your air conditioner with your EcoFlow. When you turn on your the AC on your EcoFlow the ATS will transfer power from EcoFlow and bypass your 1000 watts stock inverter.

      HI Jay, this is Vincent, the husband. I totally agree with you, Jay, but my wife has not authorized me (or trust me enough) to allow me to cut into the main house wiring for the transfer switch yet. She wants me to learn more about that process before attempting this endeavor. This is on my to do list; and for anyone who is contemplating this project, that is the best route.

      @@vincentesq Your wife will probably be mad at you for not convincing her to use a ATS after she realizes how easy it is, lol.

    UPDATE: We also discovered that if we keep the Ecoflow plugged into the outlet, and turn off the inverter while plugged into shore power, it will continue to charge the ecofolow.

    Another great project , you two are amazing ! For husband and wife to do these difficult projects together and remain together is awesome . I’m sure you can wallpaper together also LOL 😂. !!. Im to lazy , I’ll just keep plugging mine Delta Max in to the outside with the 30-15 cord Airstream supplied or maybe add a cord to the main source inside with a switch to keep the Max inside. Keeps the Van batteries fully charged overnight. Need to figure that inside install out first. Vincent you’re the man and kudos to Darlene to get right in there to complete this. Great Job.

    Thank you for sharing this, I have an idea for recharging. Ecoflow has the ability to be charged by 12v directly, what you need to do is connect a 12v source from the battery main switch at the trunk to the ecoflow solar input. Therefore, you don't have to turn on the inverter when driving. and you can control the charging amp with the app, so you don't need to worry about overload.

      @jayl1023 I use a Victron Smart Orion 12|24 10 (max 240w). It's some work but I know Bam Bam RV Adventures can do the project based of their previous projects. If I had to do it over again, I would've purchased the Victron Smart Orion 12|12 30 (max 360w) and used the menu options to fine tune the configurations.

      Question about your comment. First, the negative wire would have to be ran somewhere to make it work right?
      Second, what’s going to stop the house batteries from charging the EcoFlow via the battery main switch which is located in the garage when not driving?
      I maybe reading your comment incorrectly
