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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

Absolutely! Fingers crossed for you! -Scott

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...

Thanks for your posts and input, Fence and lscotte!!! Feen, I suspect you are correct in diagnosing what was going on with your unit. That may have been the downfall of one or more of the Delta Pros I had. OTOH, (at least) two of my units went down (one with the magic smoke) without supporting...

Hey Bubba, Thank you for that. I guess it's possible that my I had dirty power at both my house as well as at the campground. I should probably pick up an oscilloscope, though. (Model you recommend, as well as an inline conditioner?...) Regardless, I've returned everything I bought, except...

Watchdoc, I totally agree! I've attempted to troubleshoot anything I could have been doing here, on the FB group and with support. (You can see the summary of the conditions of the breakdown above.) I banked on this company (was a statistically good shot, I thought) and as far as I've found...

I chatted with Ian at Watts247 and he suggested that as long as airflow is in order (and of course, other things are sensible, such as not mounting near flammable materials, etc.) that I should be OK using the SOK rack to mount the LV6548. -S

After experiencing the failure of 5 (yes, five) EcoFlow Delta Pros, I've decided I can't count on their product to serve my purposes. (Once I have working units, I'll be selling all of my EcoFlow equipment...) I hav 2 x Delta Pros and 4 x smart batteries, and all the accessories for a total of...

Thanks, for that, Robby! Yes, this pattern totally makes sense to me. Maybe as a kickstarter, I'm treated differently?... There definitely is evidence they're recycling (returned) units back to me, perhaps after having done nothing other than updating the firmware. (The unit that I'd sent...

Gosh I wish I knew what it was on my end. I've never put a continuous demand on a unit more than 1800 W. (I would be ecstatic to get a refund on the purchase of it all... It was a kickstarter purchase, so I'm probably SOL.) And, yes, I can't believe a company could stay in business with...

Well, I guess it's not surprising.... Another unit down. Overload Error 105 again. No smoke, just shut down and now the unit won't even turn on. It turns on, blinks off and then on again and then shuts itself down. (This was the behavior of one of the previous units that went down, too.) So...

Hey George, Yes, I went with EcoFlow based on what I felt was a decent reputation and that I didn't expect that this could happen. Ironically, I was told in the email exchange related to the third unit that went down that they'd fixed the error 105 issue with firmware. I'm left in a position...

Absolutely and thanks for the condolences! I'm strongly considering getting this replacement unit and then selling the whole shebang (two Delta Pro's, 4 smart batteries, portable solar panels I might keep, etc.), at a loss, and letting folks know of my issues. I've considered that something...

Yes, I'm not sure what's going on here. This unit was hooked up to 400W of solar, two "smart batteries" and external power (15A circuit). It was running a fridge and occasionally a light in the RV I'm building out. It gets warm in there, but since I last checked on it (working) and when I...

Update: 4th Unit is now down with symptoms similar to what I've experiences previously. (Overload Error 105 and 303, unit simply shuts itself down after attempts to turn it on, etc.) The load on this unit was <200W. The units seem to last about 2-3 months (with minimal use at this point...

George, Thanks for that. Totally makes sense r.e. the two different suppliers. I guess one option might be to return those that you "legally" can for a refund and perhaps sell the others to cut your losses. (I hesitate to try to sell what I have for a reasonable price b/c I feel I would...

George! I hear you r.e. Facebook! (My account was hacked last year and I relished the thought of not needing to go back, but I needed to re-instate an account for the purposes of my podcast. Long story.) That's phenomenal that you have that recourse there in the UK. (I've been over a few...

George, Have you posted this in the EcoFlow group on facebook?... It might get the attention of some of the "higher ups" (or so they seem to be) there. I've got my hands full with some other issues here at home, but am going to give my units one last run (in my RV, where I'm putting them to...

LOL! Yes, I hear you there! I do wonder if those who issues with these firmware upgrades are dependent upon any changes they've made to the hardware of the Delta Pro's over time, on top of whichever firmware is currently installed. From the various issues that have occurred, I can imagine...

I'm reading in the FB group that the 0.4.8 update is specific to the wifi software, a separate entity from the 1.0.0.96 firmware update: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1149081025558751/search/?q=0.4.8 -S

There were comments in my post in the EcoFlow Facebook group from individuals who said my post helped them decide to not go with the Delta Pro units. I do wish there we some way to get an accurate measure of just how prevalent these issues are. My experience (60 % duds) and yours George could...

Hey George, Just responding here in reference to your post above and to link my thread (https://diysolarforum.com/threads/ecoflow-delta-pro-three-units-down-so-far-doubting-product-reliability.43920/ ) to yours. (Thanks for posting over there. I guess you could characterize my failure rate as...

George, Thanks for that - reading now. [Maybe better to leave as separate threads (?) to increase the number of hits for folks looking for answers / others in the same situation.] -Scott
