I plan on having a 4 Wheel Camper on my Tundra part time, it seems like either of these may work for me. I am concerned that the vehicle will ride rough without out the camper. Truck is currently stock , but will have a mild(1.5 - 2”)BP51 lift in the near future.

current settings via the pre set . Need to review Odyssey’s set points before I mess with it .

I have that Victron with the built in Bluetooth, the range is basically me standing by the front of the vehicle. Anything farther and nothing . My switch pro gives me 20’ of range from the truck and they are both mounted under the hood within 5’ of each other .

The trailer question came from the OP, but good to know .

I don’t think I have more control than the pre-sets. Will dig into the manual .

I have the Victron 75/15 currently . I have it set for AGM as I am running Odyssey (s). I was thinking about carrying two panels so I could set them out and leave them to track during the day without me having to move by one panel constantly.

Good to know . I would think that with both controllers my monitoring the battery status , they would protect the battery from over charging ? My built in Victron shows reduced wattage when the battery is nearing full charge , transitioning to float. At first I thought there was an issue with...

While using the portable with its own controller, is there any “interference” if the built in panel/controller is also feeding to the battery? Even if the built in is partially shaded and at less than full output? In my mind you are simultaneously charging the battery from two sources.

My only guess is that the inverter is drawing too much from your electrical system. What gauge wires are you using ?

Do you have a DC-DC charger in between the starting battery and house batteries, in addition to your isolator? I see that a full size Instant Pot is rated at 1200 watts. I wonder if the the charging system can keep up with the draw while cooking?

Nice build. Custom built to serve what you want , and not just what’s available .?

I’ve become a fan of the Hazy IPA’s. They are on the lighter side if the IPA kingdom , more “juicy” less mega hop influence .

Ah . Roger that. After installing my dual battery I wished I had gotten the ACR with the switch. Even though I only isolate the batteries once a month while on a battery charger at home .

Curious why you would mount the ACR switch under the hood?

No problem . If you want pics of the mounting location , or even how the connections look after 2 years let me know. If i were to do it Differently, I’d want the Victron without the built in Bluetooth . Then use the external BT dongle so I could have the transmitter in a location that would...

I have that Victron mounted under my hood, no issues after having it there for the past two years. Bluetooth output is weak, as I need to be no more than 10’ from the vehicle. Compared to my switch-pro which I can read 25’-30’ away.

When the house battery is fully charged, and the redarc is also fed with solar(model with built in MPPT) does it then charge the starter battery? I think the Renogy has that feature.

I used a trolling motor plug and socket. Welded a tab on my plate bumper for the female end of the set up. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/marinco--3-wire-connectpro-plug-receptacle--1422591

This is what I use in my 08 GX470. https://www.hkbelect.com/
