Speaking of fancy gauges….thinking about replacing the volt meter with the Bluesea OLED one. The cheap one I used is pretty dim and hard to see.

I have a Victron Shunt that I took off another project, so I’ll be using that one if I decide to add that. I did look at the one you suggested above, and would take up less space in the box which in already limited. The fridge is set to the lowest voltage level possible. For the most part, the...

Why ? Power my ARB fridge in the back seat of my truck when not toting the FWcamper . Fishing trips a good distance from home, and like to get my catch frozen in their vacuum seal bags on the way home. What ? Milwaukee PackOut top box , two Chins 20ah LifePo4 batteries in parallel , Victron DC...

I’m running two of the 100w Renogy black division panels. Only been up for two months, but will have a better opinion after a trip to Baja latter this year.

I just bought two of these : HQST 100W 12V Flexible Monocrystalline Solar Panel,9BB 100 Watts Mono Solar Panel,Polished PET Coating,23% High Efficiency Module PV Power,IP67 Waterproof for RV Camper Van Boat Yacht Cabin Shed https://a.co/d/1CkveqT These are the less flexible , flexible panels...

Glare at the right sun angle would be a concern of mine.

Update: I did the instal as intended, putting the DC to DC inline to convert the output of both the built in Iota and dc in from the truck to camper power. It didn’t work. I essentially cut the the battery off from the camper . Additionally , the voltage in from the Iota to the DC to DC kept...

I’ll be digging in and will post results .

This is interesting to hear. My Victron DC to DC keeps showing an input voltage drop, causing it to cycle on and off. searching the internet it is not an uncommon problem. I need to confirm wire gauge is adequate, terminals are secure and I’ll add breakers to my list of checks after reading your...

Thank you for the leads . I’ll be doing some more testing . I’ll do a test set up with the DC2DC on the “other” side of the Iota . My goal is to convert power from the truck , and iota to what the soon to be installed SOK 206ah battery wants .

Solar and shore charger are currently wired exactly as you have stated.

Currently, the feed from the Iota shore powered charger and truck>DC2DC>camper battery is carried on the same wire to the camper battery compartment . One of my thoughts was to use that wire on the input of the DC2DC, so it feeds from both, and would eliminate the issue of the Iota not having a...

I’m ok with wiring, but better at convincing myself there is a problem. 10-4 on the disagreement portion. I would like to replace as much of the 10g as possible, but beyond what I can see with a hand held mirror and impossible flashlight angles, I can only take a guess at some of the 4WC wiring...

House Battery Charge status/stage disagreement, so prepare your flamethrowers and red pen…. Issue : Displayed (via app) charging stage is different according to MPPT and DC to DC charger, regarding the house battery . Example , vehicle / camper sitting at work for 10 hours , MPPT showing...

If I understand Q1 correctly, no. At least on mine, which is similar to yours , positive from start battery to positive in on your DC2DC. From your DC2DC , positive out to your house battery. DC2DC , ground to common ground. house battery negative to common ground. @DiploStrat (cuz he knows...

@dbhost any pics of the install ?

I just replaced the ACR/VSR in my camper with a Victron DC2DC charger. I did this in anticipation of swapping the AGM out for a LifePo4 . in the mean time my AGM will be better off, since it is now getting its 14.7v and 3 stage charging. When i switch batteries I can select the charge profile...

Wish I had seen the Perfect Switch prior to making my purchase.

I’m interested as well. Might run a set of wires that end right behind the grill to plug in my solar suitcase.

Headed to the Stainslaus Nat Forest. A few months back. The solar panel was strapped to the roof in its box prior to heading out.
