$2918 for one sounds like a train ticket to me

Choo Choo ?
If it don’t live up to the hype, I’ll sell it to one of the “lithium worshippers” hahahaha

They’re all basically the exact same price
$1000+/- per 100ah seems to be the norm for all brands across the board
Soooooo
One thing i was SUPER curious about was the AC and why no one runs this one in a camper, and folks seem to gravitate towards the overly complicated "Mini Splits" with lots of moving parts.
Did some testing today and temp wired it to the Multiplus
On high, it draws 60amps +/-
Started with the box a little warm, and it was ice cold within 15 minutes.
Ran it for exactly 30 minutes and it used exactly 30ah
Solar had it replenished back to 100% in less than 45 mins.

I didn’t see the ac model in your post (likely just me) can you tell us more about it? I am about to pull the trigger on a Pioneer 9k btu minisplit. Thank you
such a fun build to follow up! keep posting update on the AC. i m interested in getting a AC for the my van. i build my own 300ah lithium battery and so far, it s been amazing and allow me to cook induction daily pulling 120ah at a time and also have my fridge, water heater, air heater all on 12v. solar and DC to DC keep up daily and it really make the rig awesome for boondocking!
Sorry, I’m purposely not answering questions for people not willing to put in the effort to read.
That’s literally the entire point of a build thread. It’s one giant reference guide.
I even posted a direct link to it, detailing every single spec..
[INSERT JOE BIDEN CMON MAN MEME HERE]
if you add another battery not meeting your power demands will be a myth but it appears that the single will keep up due to the efficiency of the TC box
specifically regarding your AC unit & installation where did you run your condensate drain?
Likely just runs out onto the roof. Most rv AC is that wayHonestly, i am not even sure what that is. Sooooooo.... I didnt run one! Hahahaha
I read the instructions online probably 10x before purchase and probably 5 more times before cutting the hole.
I do no see anything mentioned anywhere of a drain.
This is my first AC ever, and i am not savy on their workings at all.
Is this something i should be trying to look into more?

thanks for the real world application and G2
to avoid the mini-split now i am looking at using the same unit you have used and was privately hoping there was a specific drain provided
the condensate draining off our diesel pusher w/ 3 units on the roof was a bane and cause unsightly stains during the 7-8 years we owned it
with the ambulance we have drip rails to direct it front or rear but was wanting a line if possible
maybe out west you do not have such a problem with humidity but in the SE 50% - 70% humidity is the norm
