Hello everyone. I am revisiting the system plan for my Fifth wheel. I originally planned on using a Victron Multiplus, the one for 50A RVs. The main reason for wanting this was its ability to use incoming AC and battery power at the same time. so I could use my tiny inverter generator to run my...

I need an inline USB current display with adjustable current limiting capability. I am finding lots of meters but can't really tell for sure if any of them allow for setting a current limit. I want to make a USB powered heating device but want to limit the heat. Once I come up with the desired...

I recently, five minutes ago, finished the install of my Aims Power PWRIX200012SUL. It has an internal transfer switch and is hard wired into the breaker panel to power all of the general purpose wall outlets on the RV. I am dry camping and just did a test to see how the transfer switch worked...

I managed to get in on one of the products from one of Will's videos and now I'm not sure if I went too far. I got four 250W Santan Solar panels. That's 1000 watts total. I figured I'd connect them in 2S2P to keep the voltage under 100VDC that the charge controller is rated for. However, I...

Ok, so the title is kind of confusing but my question is... Can I connect the output of an older camper converter charger, 12v at 40 amps to the solar input of a PWM controller so I can charge a LiFePo4 with proper parameters?

Every chart and recommendation I could find showed that I should have 2 AWG wire to feed my 12V 2kW inverter. Now that I have it in front of me, I open the case and see that the battery terminals are connected using two parallel 10 AWG wires. That's basically somewhere between 6 and 8 AWG. What...

I'm sure there is a simple explanation but I have not been able to find anything in my search. My Renogy Rover 40A MPPT charge controller says to never disconnect the battery while there is power coming from the solar panels. How is this different from when the BMS in the battery shuts it down...

I'm researching the purchase of an inverter for my RV. I was planning on having it power just the outlet circuit and going for an 1800watt inverter. I figured on needing an ATS but now I see some inverters with a switch built in. On the AIMS in particular, getting the ATS model is only $10 more...

I'd like to clean up the battery connections in my camper. Currently, the negative wire from the battery goes to a bolt in the chassis of the camper and several other negative wires go there as well. I'd like to attach a busbar of sorts to the chassis mount location and then attach the other...

I've had my Renogy SCC installed for a few days now, running off of a small portable panel until I can get the two rooftop panels installed. Today is the first day that the monitor has shown the battery to be fully charged. Shouldn't it kick down to a float voltage or something? Monitor readings...

I hope this section is for build threads of sorts. I have installed the solar charge controller with a circuit breaker between it and the battery. I only have a little portable panel connected to it right now but I hope to have the 2 100W panels mounted on the roof tomorrow and have them...

I'm sorry if this is considered similar to the other question but that one was about dies. Can I use my regular wire crimpers to crimp MC4 terminals? Pic of my crimpers attached.

I am still waiting for my solar to arrive and just ordered a 170AH 12 Power Block from Big Batteries. This stuff will be going in my Fifth wheel camper. I just remembered that my camper batteries charge from the alternator while towing. Since I don't want to deal with adding another component to...

I am in the planning stages of adding solar to my Fifth Wheel for boondocking. My target is 400-800 watts of solar on the roof, 100 to 400Ah of LIFEPO4 and a 2000 to 3000 watt inverter. All of that is pretty basic. My question comes in when I start thinking about running the AC. I know running...
