New Victron Multiplus-II 12/3000/120-50 designed specifically for RVs with 30A/50A input flexibility available MARCH 2021

Mone arrived yesterday at the address I gave to @the_colorist and I’m picking it up on Monday or Tuesday.

Unfortunately our RV / home is stuck in a shop for repairs until September or October depending on parts availability so will still be a while before I can install it.
 
Interesting, appreciate that. So the full 50a is provided over leg 1? For example, I want the entire RV available regardless of shore power or battery. In this case L2 is not required?

I thought the whole reason for this model was to allow full use of both legs?
it does, the nomenclature of 50A is confusing , to a non rv electrician it should be called 100A, as in 2 50a legs. yet the 30A is just one 30amp not 2....

big differnce in what a 30a rv and a 50a rv come equiped with from the factory
 
settings have been changed as recommended, starting at 14.3 for the day to see where that gets me.
 

24V 2021Q4/2022Q1

No mention of 24V.

My gut says they're not looking at higher kW since they can be paralleled.
the 24v model 5000va - 120A has just landed on my doorstep, pictures on sites are wrong, booklet is from old model and there are some changes.

Yes sorry you are correct it's EU model running 230v

Reminder, the topic is “New Victron Multiplus-II 12/3000/120-50 designed specifically for RVs with 30A/50A input flexibility available MARCH 2021” not “EU 230V Multiplus II“.

You may want to remove your confusing and “unrelated to the topic“ post…. The world’s confusing enough without people tossing more chum into the water and wasting peoples time (and emotions by getting them excited about something they’re waiting to drop) like you just did mine only to find out it was posted in error… GRRRRR

Oh dang I was about to be super excited/pissed, I got the new 12/3000/120-50 but would’ve definitely gone for a 24v 120 model if it existed, which it doesn’t ?

Exactly what happened to me this morning as well, saw this post and had credit card in hand, am hoping for a 48V version but had a use for a 24 for sure.... GRRRR

I thought they had a 48V released as well just not 24? I haven’t looked deep in the details but it does say 120v 60hz so it’s U.S… buuut it doesn’t have the same 2x120 that the 12v version says, it does say 50amp though
Maybe someone already brought this up and clarified if it’s similar to the 2x120 12v version?

Either way, SOME day I’m confident they’ll release a 24v 2x120 5k model. Who knows when, but when they do, I’ll be happy to “upgrade” :)

Where the hell is that "OMG face palm" emoji when I need it... sigh..

Given this version of the Multiplus is specifically targeted at the US 50amp RV market, I highly doubt there will ever be a 48v version and that a 24v version is a distant possibility given the fact that by design these RV’s are pretty much exclusively built on a 12v platform.

did you see the photo I attached? it's the specs for a U.S. 48V version MultiPlus II. I pulled it straight from Victron's website. so that leads me to believe that the 48V is actually available now :)

The Multiplus II model line has been around a long time including the 24v and the 48v models.

The 2x120 is just a new model in the product line.

I agree, and had been waiting forever for the 2x120 model and I know have one, finally! haha

But the previous MPII's that have been out already that were 24v and 48v were not for the U.S market as they were 230v.
The 48V model I showed above is for the U.S market, 120V and 60hz. I could be wrong but I believe this is a new model as well.

Happy that I have one also just need my frakkin trailer back so i can install the damn thing. It’s just a big blue box in the corner teasing me right now.

Looks like that 48v model (non 2x120 before anyone else gets confused) was released at the same time based on this thread that erroneously includes a video about the 2x120.

I have my RV so I'm one step ahead of ya ;) Buuuut I'm still testing a few things so I haven't installed it yet. So I'm really not that far ahead haha. I'm hoping within the next month I can get all the pieces finalized. Boondocking here I come!

Yes correct, I made sure to mention that I noticed it is not 2x120, but good to mention it again to avoid confusion from anyone that may see this.

Ours fifth wheel has been in a repair shop waiting on parts since June 25th. Right now I’d be thrilled to have it by the end of September especially since it is our home.

Wife and I are getting a bit stir crazy cooped up in our daughters apartment but at least because of Covid we had the foresight to help her pay for a 3 bedroom so we had a place to shelter if necessary. She’s moving to a 2 bedroom the end of October so we better have it back before then or things are going to get uncomfortable.

I'm living in my fifth wheel as well so I can understand the frustration. I hope you can get it back on the road soon! Good that you have a place to stay but will be so nice to have your home back! Especially with solar :)
