I want to set up my Toy Hauler with 50 amp shore installed and a Onan 5500 onboard gen with gear I bought for a different RV.
I currently have in my possession
2x EG4-LL 48V 100AH batteries.
1 x Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-95 120v
1 × Step Down DC Converter | 60 Amp for the 12v stuff in the RV along with a pile of other Victron stuff like the CerboGX and smart shunt, things like that.
My old system in another RV (that needs to go) has the Victron MultiPlus-II 12/3000/120-50 2x120V and also has 50 amp shore service and a drag along gen. That was easy for 50 amp service wiring to the 2x120.
The 48v Victron only has 1 single Input voltage range: 90-140 VAC, would you just install 1 leg of the 50 amp shore power to the Victron and not use the second leg or leave it in the RV panel feeding the second side if plugged into 50 amp? I really only have 50 amp when it's at home and when at home I don't really "need" 50 amp because I don't care if it takes a week to recharge the batteries but I have a 50 amp set up to plug into when I get home.
The Onan 5500 is a 120v/45.8A.
Solar will be later.
We boondock for 10-14 days at a time and this RV came with a "house" 120v refrigerator, Starlink and a other few things on 24/7 that are 120v along with the need to use the Microwave, house coffee maker, charge a MacBook things like that and I don't want to run the generator all the time.
I bought this stuff for an RV that I tried to buy that didn't have 50 amp service installed but that deal fell through and now have to figure out for a different RV.
Any help will be much appreciated. I didn't plan this system for this unit so I am all the sudden confused on what would be a good way to move forward with the stuff already purchased.
