That is what I call a very powerful setup.
For RV'S when these solar generators are able to power 2 AC's overnight (8-10 hours) with enough extra power to run the fridge and a water pump it will be time to make the investment. Good job showing us this set up. This is the future folks. The only problem is filling the gas tank in a big RV. $$$
Gas prices are CRAZY 😝
I totally agree I want these generators so bad but I still think there alittle ways away not far but I agree until they can run all night . But very impressive still.
@@MrRobbyp97 Let’s wait for Elon to release some more of this alien technology to us 😅
Pretty sweet setup you got there. I am digging those Delta Pro's.
They’re absolutely mind blowing I got something else coming soon
Got some competition coming for them soon but they are so good
Nice test. Would be nice to have a inside rv hookup for these to use and recharge. Wouldn't want anybody walking away with $5000 + of my stuff
I will be installing it soon so everything will be inside this was just a demo
Going to have a direct charge from my solar a selector switch so I can charge it from the alternator or onboard generator
@@GeneratorReviews...I would like to have a way to connect the external RV inlet to the Deltas while they are in the locked storage compartment...may have to carefully cut a hole to run the cable.
Did you get this setup installed? Just curious.
Be aware that by connecting the TWO DPro inverters to the same power panel (inside the coach) if there is ANY circuit overlap in the wiring (this includes the system common) you run the risk of the phases of 120v being out of alignment and frying the DPro's as a result. EcoFlow makes the Double Voltage Hub SPECIFICALLY for this reason. By using the DVH you will combine both DPro units into a single 'PHASE ALIGNED' 4-Pin 30A output. There is integrated circuitry within the DVH that works with the ICs in the DPro's to do the phase alignment and keep all the equipment safe.
Just an FYI since these things are super dope, expensive and totally worth NOT destroying :) We use ours with our 92' Prevost and love love love them!
Thanks for watching
I got the hub now and plan on using it. Yes they are super pricey but man makes life easier.
@@GeneratorReviews can you show your new set up with the double voltage hub and your surge suppressor...can you truly run a 50amp RV safely with this set up?
I was thinking about doing the same setup with two AC200MAX's. I was worried about the phases not being aligned. Thoughts on this solution long term?
@@mattlarson4629 In terms of EcoFlow of their 'Double Voltage Hub', the voltage mismatch issue has been resolved with a firmware update now. VERY GOOD NEWS indeed!!!
@@georgepatterson5885 users MUST use the EcoFlow DVH to produce 240 volts as the DVH keeps the 2 phases 180 degrees apart. The double 30A TT-30P to 50A 14-50R splitter in the video CANNOT do this.
Using the DVH only increases the voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts while still only having a total amperage limit of 30 amps (NOT 50 amps or 60 Amps like some people believe) but users will have a 7,200 watts available at 30 amps.
As someone else mentioned, if there are any multi wired branch circuits which share a neutral wire, the neutral can be overloaded and cause a fire is the 2 phases are not 180 degrees apart.
Try to always keep loops out of live wires, every loop creates what is know as an inductive loop, which not only produces the potential for heat build up on cords but also unnecessary resistance and draw.
Absolutely correct.
🤔...😳
Great set up. I want the max for camping. May get it around next year sometime
I like it 👍🏾
That is a very good idea G'
Thanks for the information!
Hopefully they work on the price as technology gets better and battery 🔋 last longer more people might go this route. We will still need the gas Gen but for stealth camping it perfect.
Thanks buddy
@@GeneratorReviews As usual you're right on point Sir
You could or hire someone who could drill a hole in the bottom of your ecoflow storage area and run your cable up through the bottom and lock your baggage door. Good video.
How do you power it? I'm thinking of getting two Delta's but not sure how many solar panels to get as I think it has a max solar input
When it comes to solar on the RV you basically just go with what you can fit on your rooftop.
Nice video Gavin - I am told there is a 30amp draw limit on these that would not allow for ACs to run. I guess that’s not the case!
greta video...I was thinking about how I'm gonna install my one Delta Pro. Recently: I have a Class-A RV and I hooked up one Delta Pro which was at 27% charge and I ran the AC no problem for 33 minutes. So at full charge you could roughly run the AC for an hour.
Get an easystart for the air conditioner and you will get more than what you are getting now.
Nice... its possible to charge those 2 ECOFLOW'S While driving and then at night NO NOISE.. Then you can charge with a portable generator during the day.. PERFECT SET UP !!
Plus add some solar panels on the roof and you’re set. I plan on running the wire on inside to make it easier.
Thanks Danny
I had planned on using my two delta pros with the double voltage hub and an inverter generator as backup to power them up quickly. I was really mad when I found out that the double voltage hub shuts off all AC ports, both output and input. I was hoping that using the double 30A TT-30P to 50A 14-50R splitter would save me and allow me to power the trailer and then when the DPs were low on power to charge them fast with my 3500w inverter generator. Would putting a natural bonding plug on one of the DPs put them in different phases? Otherwise I am dead in the water as far as charging with AC while also powering the trailer. Bummer. Do anyone have a suggestion on how I can do this safely.
2 hours run time seems really disappointing . Your RV is detailed to the Max. Good luck
Hopefully battery tech gets better in the future, four hours would be great per unit. 👍🏾
Cool. Thanks for showing!
Thanks
Brilliant info. These Delta units look great.
Way beyond my needs being I run a smaller vehicle and setup for camping but great to watch.
So far picked up a River Max and a Delta in the UK. The Delta is for home backup and the River Max for camping or running my laptop on location when needed.
Tempted to scale up to the Delta Max and additional battery at home though. Would like to go for a Delta Pro but budget won't allow.
Thanks again for the videos on these units.
Thanks for watching truly appreciated.
Wiring it like that I would internalise the cabling and put a vent in the door so that it can't get stolen and stays dry, I would not risk what you are doing, it would not take much work to sort out.
Yep you’re right about that.
Nice quiet clean method of power, how do you keep them charged, solar or 120 v while traveling?
I can charge them on my alternator while driving, the solar panels on the RV or the onboard generator.
Good Job but you are going to kill both those batteries even with the door almost open. The fan on the right unit is blowing heated air right into the intake of the battery on the left. You need to install a high powered fan to evacuate the heated air in the compartment. In fact even with only one battery you would still have heat problems which will shorten the batteries life plus the inverter and charger will reach their heat levels as well. Regards Mike
Hello Gavin, I just found your channel. I have the same MH 2018, what year is yours? In this video I saw your display panel by the microwave. Did you change your panel? I want to update ours. What is the name of your panel?
I also have a 2018 but I didn’t update my panel. It came that way.
They me have done a production update
Would you recommend buying two delta pros instead of a delta pro and delta extra battery? Can you get full functionality by running both pros together? What do you think the benefits are, if any, of having two full inverter units rather than just the extra battery in conjunction with the delta pro?
If you plan on running a transfer switch to your home that has 240 V you may want to get two Delta pros if you’re just going to use it on your RV with a 30 amp plug get the extra battery
GREAT SET FOR THAT NICE LOOKING BUS
. ARE YOU PLANNING TO PURCHASE THE SMART BATTERIES FOR MORE CAPACITY ?
Yes I did
In the future you should change the way the units sit next to each other as the hot exhaust from one is currently being sucked into the other
They pull in cool air from the bottom rear and out the four fans on the top sides in a limited space like this there’s not too many options.
@@GeneratorReviews my bad, I own a delta mini and 2 of the 4 top fans are intake and the other are exhaust I just figured they were all the same
@@psypherlyne4353 No problem 😉 thanks for letting me know
We’re here to learn from each other I wish more people would reach out like this👍🏾💯
Can you do a full load test video in a real world scenario? Maybe like a normal usage video for these units?
Yes I will definitely do that for you 👍🏾
@@GeneratorReviewshave you had any problems doing this with the pros I just bought two trying to figure out how to do this and why do you have to use the bonding plug does that screw up the machine
That's a pretty awesome set up. I wonder if you added their smart generator, how often and how long it would need to run to keep things going?
Yep that’s coming up soon
I love what you're showing here Gavin. I'm curious about that "y" cable you have. Like you I have (2) ecoflow pros. I wonder if I can do this with my 30 amp travel trailer?
That setup won’t work for 30amp because it only use one leg. 50 amp have L1 and L2 so each unit powers one leg.
Thanks for watching
@@GeneratorReviewswhere did you get that splitter?
Nice review & thanks. Those are really nice inverters, but are they worth the money!?
They are pricey l haven’t made up my mind on them yet maybe after a few more test
4 Ecoflow Delta Pro Expansion Battery Kit
test it out
Two EcoFloW delta pros two expansion batteries and two smart generators test
@@GeneratorReviews Please test these with a large whole house HVAC unit to see if they can handle the inrush.
Have you done any testing on RVs that comes with generators? I was wondering how loud the run?
This RV has a 5.5kW generator l can do a comparison video with it
Could this set up be plugged into a 50amp 220v whole house generator plug to run both legs of the house panel?
ECOFLOW Delta Pro, Smart Battery with Smart Generator Powering my 5 TON AC
ruclips.net/video/B5Ha13xnNZc/видео.html
Interesting setup and application.
I was wondering why you didn't use the proprietary EcoFlow double voltage hub that has the 50amp socket?
It wouldn’t allow me to use my surge protector
@@GeneratorReviews but why do you need a surge protector against a Delta Pro - pure sine wave inverter? I wouldn't even bother, not required
Keep it up 👍
Thanks 👍🏾
I know this is from a year ago. I like your videos and when I saw this I have to ask, how do you get the two 30 amp delta pros AC outlets to parallel with each other. Two inverters produce different different sine waves and must be syncronized with each other to produce a parallel output. What am I missing? Does the adapter apply one 30 amp input to one leg of the 50 amp plug and the other 30 amp to the other leg of the 50 amp keeping th two sine waves separate? It must! Did I just ask a question and answer it at the same time? lol
Lol I think you did Rob 👍🏾😎
My question concerns the Y splitter you're using. Does the hot leg of each of the 30 amp plugs supply the 50 amp receptacle its power on L1 and L2 as independent legs, or are the L1 and L2 bridged? Not sure if I worded this question very well ...hopefully you understand what I'm asking.
I understand what you’re saying each 30 amp leg is individual I can actually shut off one inverter and run the back of the RV and the other one powers only the front that way both legs are isolated from each other.
The EcoFlow surge protectors wouldn’t even turn power on if that was the case.
Why is the bonding plug only shown at the beginning of the video and never seen again?
It wasn’t needed for the hub it would trip the breaker.
I understand that you intend to add the smart generator.
Any plans to add the battery packs? How about solar?
Yes I intend on adding the entire system
Have you thought of routing your cables internally so you don't have to leave the door open. I'm sure they will get enough ventilation.
I finally did it, and it works perfectly👍🏾
Why did you not just install the power kit? The power kit will charge of the altrator and i think it would work better for this application.
Not a bad idea👍🏾💯
what is the connector on the left ac connector on delta pro station. when i connect mine on my rv the inside relay not engaged.
You may have a bonded problem you may need a bonding plug
You may have a bonded problem you may need a bonding plug
Thanks!
Thanks for the support
Why would you not drill some holes in the compartments and run you cable internally so you could use the Ecoflows while driving down the road.
I did 😊
@@GeneratorReviews Is using that Y connector better than using the Ecoflow double voltage hub for 240v they sell?
I just purchase eco flow system ( 2 inverters + 4 batteries + 2 eco flow generator + 2 [400 watts solar panels ])
My fifth wheel nort point have 3 15000 BTU AC UNITS AND 50 amp plug. Can you give advice on how to get it connected with an extension cord
THANKS
RUBEN
This is close to your setup, check out this video
ruclips.net/video/qof2INa7Q2w/видео.htmlsi=psXcQWJZdViFo_67
You have solar panels for the echo flow?
Yes, I have 780w on my RV roof.
Would using these with the ecoflow smart generator to keep them charged (automatically)use less fuel than a properly sized inverter generator by itself?maybe with and without a/c use?
If used with solar panels you would use less fuel than a properly sized inverter generator by itself.
@@GeneratorReviews thanks.your videos are 👍
At first i see your using a grounding plug and after a few minutes it gone. Did you decide you didnt need it because I see everyone uses it.
It worked perfectly fine without it so I just took it off.
Hey bud why the bonding plug? Were trying to do the same thing with a Y plug
You don’t need the bonding plug unless you’re using a surge protector
@GeneratorReviews ahhh ok! Thanks! I did just read it's used for automatic transfer switches to work properly too inehich your motorhome has one! Thanks I'm learning more and more!
Why did you purchase two of the EcoFlow Delta Pros? Couldn't you save $1k by just getting the EcoFlow Delta addon battery?
I’m just showing all the different options I have the entire setup plus smart generators
how long do these keep the air conditioner on and how long do they take to charge?
I the heat of the summer it will last around three hours adding solar panels helps with increasing run time. During spring when it’s cooler with solar panels it will last longer
how are u charging the 2 echflows keeping the power topped off
Solar panels on my Rv 2 330 watts
The DIY Solar forum has a user who reported that his two Delta Pro units can't charge while connected to the double voltage hub when it is on. He said he smelled burning and there was no output. One of the forum users suggested that the input waveforms to charge the units did not match the output waveforms (no syncing happening). I was considering getting two Delta Pro units as a whole house backup, using my Honda inverter generator as a way to recharge the Ecoflow units if there wasn't enough solar input, but it looks like the double voltage hub has to be turned off if you want to do this, meaning you'd have to switch to generator power only while the Ecoflows are recharging. Can you confirm this?
Thanks for posting this. I’m going to confirm this. I had something very similar happened when I was using the two inverters but I didn’t think anything of it until now.
@@GeneratorReviews Kevin Lauzon posted a work around on his channel where he used two switched mode power supplies to convert AC from his Yamaha generator to 1200W DC into each Delta Pro to simulate solar input. I saw a post from him on the Minute Man Prep channel, who also did a review with the full system (2 Delta Pros and 4 extra batteries on a rolling cart). Pretty cool.
Kevin left a link to his unlisted video in the Minute Man Prep channel's comments section for a video titled "EcoFlow Delta Pro Setup and Test". I'd post a link, but they get deleted by the system due to channel settings.

AC charging is DISABLED if DVH is connected.
DP will not accept AC charging while DVH is in the "on" position.
If the AC is "on" for both DP's while connected to DVH, when you plug in the AC cord, the DP will NOT accept any AC input.
As soon as you turn off the DVH, the AC output light will turn off on the DP and the DP will start accepting AC input.

This is the solution.

I understand you are trying to reach for the stars but your definition of "all night" is more like 4 hours, even then, if you are staying let's say in AZ at 110° weather, you are not gonna last with this setup, you got to get to over 10 kwh and use a combination of house a/c and a ecoflow wave.
True.. I have to agree with you.
Do you know how well that would work with 1 Delta Pro and the Delta Pro extra Smart Battery.. just running 1 A/C? We are going to use that setup for a 5th wheel. I don’t need to run both A/C units at the same time.
With one Delta pro and one smart battery, you should get right around four hours straight running but with the AC cycling on and off and some solar panels, you should be fine
@@GeneratorReviews thanks.
@@MudmanMedia Be sure to put a easystart on that AC unit for even more run time.
How do they last while running ur ac
I can get around 2-1/2 hours of run time works perfect for me
Wait, I don’t understand how long did it power your RV for??
I can run my RV like this for about four to six hours depending on the AC settings
@@GeneratorReviews thank u 💯
Hi, I would like to buy 2 of the Ecoflow Delta Pro for my foodtruck. But I'd like to know more info about it.
How much power do you plan on consuming in a day on your food trip and how much solar are you going to install?
@@GeneratorReviews Hi 👋, right now I have the Onan Marquis Gold 7000 generator. Which runs my whole food truck with stand up refrigerator, freezer, ice cream freezer, sandwich prep refrigerator, shave ice machine, water heater, water pump and more. So I guess I'll be needing ecoflow 2 delta pro?
@@GeneratorReviews I would like to add an a/c and heater on my food truck too
@@GeneratorReviews I have nonidea yet on the solar part of it. This is something new to me. Maybe I'll take my food truck to an RV place so they can help me. And the generator too is loud. I think this one is quite right?
Can you please test the max peak output of two Delta Pro units in parallel providing 240V? I want to know if they will start my 4 ton HVAC which has a soft starter on it. Do you have the double voltage hub that you can try with your house panel and your main HVAC? Also, how do these units handle loads while also being charged by a generator simultaneously? I want to buy two of these units, but I need to know what their short term (1 sec) output peak is...
Ok I will do it.
@@GeneratorReviews Thanks! kingvally youtube channel just put up a video of these units (called "Ecoflow Delta Pros Full House Backup") powering his house with a 3-ton condensing unit, and when he added an electric dryer both units surged to about 4500 watts each and then shut down after a few seconds. So his test wasn't definitive for me. They do appear to be pretty impressive units though.
@@browsedeweb8834 That’s pretty good if they are rated for 3.6kw.
I believe if you have 2 & have the hub connected together. Max surge output is 7000 watts if I'm not mistaken. Check out DIY solar on his review of having two pro's.
@@1ENDUSER I think the only way to know for sure is to put a clamp meter with min/max function on a large HVAC compressor and see what the max inrush amps are upon startup. This is usually for a split second, so watching the meter most likely won't reveal the peak current draw.
For a single Delta Pro, page 1 of the manual indicates: "Pure Sine Wave, 3600W total (surge 7200W)"
Do you have a link to that splitter sir?
Thanks for watching
amzn.to/3zoxy31
How many hours can you get from them?
I will be testing it all the way to zero since I just got it I haven’t done a full load test yet.
@@GeneratorReviews ok can I have your email 📧 please if that's fine with you? I have something i want to send to you...something really interesting

💥🇺🇲💪 These are still overpriced and garbage when no longer to charge.
Omg 😆
Not over priced if you bought it through the kickstarter program. Because those who did got a 10 year warranty. Haha as to buying retail at 3 years I believe. Especially if you bought early. I was a early bird at the $2199 price.
only problem is your set up there costs as much as a pretty decent used car.. Not worth it. I can power all that with a $1000 inverter generator.. Who cares about the noise. And the run time on these units for the money you pay is ridiculous.
True, You can buy a 6000 watt 240v inverter and 48volt server rack battery from signature solar and in 5 min you can hook them up and have twice the power for around $3000. I was going to do that but I do not have the wall space in my RV to mount that inverter. I got a deal on two ecoflow pros so I bought the hub and it powers my RV just fine and charges from the sun.
$$$$$$$$$$
Yep they are pricey
