Nothing in my trailer uses 220v. Obviously I didn’t need a 50 amp setup. Mini split is also a heat pump. Propane water heater. Toaster oven and microwave for cooking.

Nothing is 220v . The mini split is also heat pump. Propane tankless water heater. I can switch to 30 amp service if I need to.

Right now it’s setup for 50amp. I’m not opposed to installing a soft start for mini split. 20amp start

My system 2000w solar 24v Victron charger Ames 4k inverter/charger This is for my self built toy hauler.

Hello all, I am having trouble with my bed lift in my converted toy hauler and need some advice. I am using a 12v winch motor to power the pully system that lifts and lowers my bed from the ceiling of the trailer. Problem is the lift begins fine and then 70% to the top the motor cuts in and out...

So I know the lifepo4 batteries should never be charged in below 40f degree temps. Is there still damage

It is 3/16" thick 1.5" x 1.5" aluminum angle welded into one very large frame.

Finally got all the solar panels mounted and wired (still have some routing and tidying up). Basically six 300w 24v panels going into a combiner box. Then into a breaker, Victron solar charge controller
