Mounting the VSS 75/15 into my inTech Luna teardrop was supposed to be the easiest task of this project. Getting the 12V 280AH battery + Renogy 1000W inverter + Go Power 30A auto transfer switch all connected and mounted was a son-of-a-gun!
I grabbed the VSS off my garage shelf tonight (haven't used it since fall), get it over to the camper, turn it vertically to mount it, and a little "sand" starts coming out the bottom. WTH?! Tilt the VSS towards one side, and a lot more starts coming out. A lottttttttt more... Then, because "why not?", the back of the VSS pops off.
Found a post on Victron's site that explains it:
It's not quite a year old, hopefully the dealer I bought it from on Amazon (InvertersRUs) will RMA it. ?
