    All in One System Installed in Box Truck RV (15kWh SOK 48V, MPP Solar 6.5kW LV6548, 4-2 Combiner Box, 1400W Panels)

    Maybe, but I suspect that would quickly exceed the GVWR. It’s loaded up with some really high quality cabinetry (IMO) - I’m not sure what kind of wood it is, but it’s held up extraordinarily well. OTOH, from the cabinet labels when I bought it, it was used to carry some pretty heavy electrical...

    Man, I hope so. I was running the engine the other day and fixed an issue with one of the cameras after no having spend much time in the truck lately, and was like, "Man, this is a bad ass vehicle!!!" LOL -S

    Tim, Sorry - got sidetracked. Pics are up now. (THANK YOU for chiming in... A shot of 1 of the batteries: I can post pics of how I've mounted them, of course. I've been going more with the angle of selling the *Van* that is solar equipped (vs. a battery system) so I didn't take detailed...

    I'm hoping this is OK to post here, as the value Solar / Battery Generator set up accounts for a large part of what I'm asking for in total. [Consider the Van itself as a GREAT bargain, considering the mileage.] LOW MILEAGE, Self-sustaining Urban Stealth SOLAR BEAST (Dogmobile) Camper/Mobile...

    EcoFlow Delta Pro - FIVE Units Down. Something's awry here...

    You may have to talk directly to Gloria Yang on Facebook, who is admins (I think) the EcoFlow FB group. She was my go to on a couple occasions when I needed to get to the bottom of one of several issues. This included when they had quoted my refund amount, received all the units I sent back (7...

    EcoFlow Delta Pro - FIVE Units Down. Something's awry here...

    Sorry for chiming in so late here... I think I mention this in my initial posts in this thread (I'm the OP) that the "magic smoke" issue has been known for a while... I had that at least once. (I think my brain has mostly suppressed the dark memories of my time dealing with EcoFlow... LOL) -S

    EcoFlow Delta Pro - FIVE Units Down. Something's awry here...

    Hey Mauddib, I'm not sure if you meant to respond to me, but I never installed the Smart Home Panel, as I never had a pair of Delta Pros working long enough to even consider that stuff. But I DEFINITELY feel your pain as far as dealing with EcoFlow. You and I both went in essentially on the...

    New Delta Pro Ultra and Smart Panel 2

    I think a DIY (e.g., Server rack) option can definitely work well if someone's willing to put in the efforts. Instead of the Ecoflow DP's had intended to use in my RV, I installed a MPP Solar 6.5kW LV6548 120V/240V SPLIT PHASE inverter with a 4-2 combiner box and 3 x 5kWh SOK 48V Batteries. I...

    New Delta Pro Ultra and Smart Panel 2

    Mike, Given what i've gone through with EcoFlow (as well as Renogy customer service, to a lesser extent), which both seem(ed) at first blush to have good reputations, I would take that kind of customer service every time, even if I would end with with a perhaps less powerful, lower capacity...

    New Delta Pro Ultra and Smart Panel 2

    Hey Mike, I'll just post a link for you here (see below). My experience with EcoFlow was overall not a good one. The bottom line is that I returned almost everything I purchased (>$20k) and ended up just keeping a single EcoFlow Delta Pro (as a backup in my RV) and several 400W portable...

    EcoFlow Delta Pro - FIVE Units Down. Something's awry here...

    Hey Bob, What issue are you having, exactly, other than the inability to upgrade the firmware?... Have you tried using a different internet connection?... Are you trying to update all the units simultaneously?... Without knowing details (which error code you're getting), it's hard to suggest...

    EcoFlow Delta Pro - FIVE Units Down. Something's awry here...

    I would join the Facebook EcoFlow group. Lots of info. on codes there. Error 105 is one that is not fixable, from everything I've learned. You'll have to got through a return. I would just email them and provide all the info. they ask for right off the bat (first email), including a...

    Yes, that was a typo! Thanks! (Changed it to 2021 in my original post.) All in all just very happy to have gotten my money back! -Scott

    EcoFlow Delta Pro - FIVE Units Down. Something's awry here...

    Hey Dan, You're welcome! Wow - you're the first I've heard from who's had so many Delta Pro's go down. (I have an uncle in law who is a master electrician. We chatted at Thanksgiving and when I mentioned EcoFlow he immediately said, "Won't touch it..." meaning that his impression is that...
