I'm from the UK & the Second camper the Rove Lite 14FD is perfect! I'd buy one for sure & they will sell like hotcakes here, we have smaller cars over here so many will & can tow with their smaller engine size cars. The A-LINER SCOUT LITE won't sell over here for sure incl the FREE SOLO OG...that FREE SOLO ROMO will do well thou (again needs a freezer compartment). LUNA ROVER won't be popular. Great video guys!
Been to that dealership more than a few times from our home in Northeast Illinois. Bought a motor home and a fifth wheel from then- Haylett RV. Still friends with Josh and Gene Cutler, our salesman. Gene is down the street at Haylett’s consignment sales lot. Anyway, we are original Nerd Herders. 😊
Joe. Thanks for the great video. I currently have a 2002 Chevy 2500HD with a 8.1 engine. I find myself needing to power up something while I using the truck to do something on my property. Especially needing 120 volts. Thanks for allthe great info. Very helpful 😅😅
You can actually run this without batteries, its been done in a few videos to show it. Basically it will go into what is called "bypass" and the loads will be powered directly via the utility/shore power connection. Why you would do that I am not sure, but say you had a battery failure in a single battery system but had the ability to connect to shore power, you could still use your entire electrical system while waiting for a replacement battery.
you would need either two EG4's or only power one leg. That is the case with most Inverters in RV's unless you go with something like the Victron 3000 2 x 120.
LiFePO4 batteries are very safe. They don't explode and If you subject a LiFePO4 battery to harsh temperatures or hazardous events (like short-circuiting or a crash) it won't start a fire or explode. Also, there isn't much difference between being under your bed or in your passthrough considering your passthrough is also under most RV beds
@@2KrazyKampers You need to do a search and watch as these batteries explode and catch fire when crushed at a crusher....they do catch fire, and they "can" explode!...trust me!
Hey guys, I have an camper inventory tip . When I notice I am running low on hand soap, tp, deoderant, disposable plates, laundry detergent, etc, I make a note on my phone that I need to bring those items with me on my next trip. I always check that list when I pack for the next trip. This system helps me not end up with extra junk I don't need & make sure I don't forget what I do need. Hope this is helpful to the community. God bless!
Hi Joe, you mentioned in one of your videos, that your son is a master electrician in the Central Florida area. Any chance you could provide his contact information? I would like to discuss my set up and have him examine and quote my set up. Thanks in advance!
I love, love, love the new furniture. It looks so nice. I am happy for you. My husband & I really enjoy watching your videos. God bless you. Keep building your community. We hope to meet you some day
Sorry you guys got booted. Was rooting for ya! Have no need for what you're doing. I have Ryobi battery operated tools and a 300 watt cig lighter inverter if I need to recharge.
It is important to make sure that the charging system in your RV is set up for lithium. I had to replace my onboard charger for charging from shore power, in addition to my solar charging system for lithium.
thanks for the info on size of components. I am curious how many OEM 12v converters in RV's will mate with LiFePo. I have a '22 rig, but everything seems old school (pre-solar prep package).
you can look at your converter and see what it is. Pretty much all of the ones that are put in now can detect LiFePO4. If not, you can simply change out the board. Progressive dynamics makes swap outs so you don't even have to replace the whole panel, just the converter. www.progressivedyn.com/power-converters-2/
I have been looking for a LiFePo 100ah battery, but I couldn’t find it in the link to their website. I’m familiar with them. Did you have to call them for that particular battery? Thanks for the video. I’m doing a similar build but for a different application.
@@2KrazyKampers talked to signature solar EG4 is no longer offering that battery. I also called Shopsolar and got the same answer. I’ll keep looking. BTW I’ll be doing a 48v build next year when the new Rv is delivered. Thanks for the informative videos
That is really cool! Great ideas! My whole solar system on my rig is using all thier products! Wow you really know what you are doing. Thanks for sharing!
Nice, thanks for sharing. I need this and love that it connects to their lock. Too bad it's sold out. Trying to hunt one down, but looks like I'm out of luck, for now.
They both have pros and cons. I like the simplicity and plan on installing a similar system in our new house (just on a larger scale). In our new RV, we just didn't have the space. Its nice having everything in one system
My wife and I have been there a few time but haven't been in a few years. Last time we were there, I lost my wedding band. We like TTO as well. We are there right now. Safe travels
They are cheaper than Battleborn. Yes, there are cheaper batteries but in my opinion, they aren't as good and you don't get great customer service since they all come from China
So, You installed the exact system I bought 2 yrs ago and installed in my rv the same way. Whats your opionion after 6 months.? I have a lot of suggestions for eg4. Som much could be improbed to make this system as good as you present it. I would not recommend this system to anyone at this point. It will not probide the power you need in a 30 amp rv, the system is not reliable for several reasons incl overheating and the fact is will not turn on with less than a minimum of 100 volts of input from either solar or generator or anything.
I am getting ready to have Todd and Big Beard Battery start a system for my GD 270 BN. Great video to understand the parts list I have and how all of it comes together. Thank you!
Our first time staying at the Fort was 1979 and we have stayed more than 25 times since then. I can say so much about it and will say it will be worth it for some and won’t be for others. It is about opinion. Thank you for sharing details about the Fort. One thing that everyone gets too focused on is golf carts and transportation in the campground and to the parks. We do it with a golf cart sometimes and sometimes without (we use our bikes or the buses and miss the trams that used to go around the campground). As for transportation to the parks and around the Disney bubble there is options and you can make it part of the experience. Remember to slow down and enjoy your vacation and make the memories you set out to make with your family!
My favorite- Venture Sonic 190VRB. About 2,000 pounds lighter ( I tow with a van with a 6,000 pound weight limit, and lots of mountain passes here in California).
We have a 2013 17FQ we bought used. Replaced the battery with Lifepo4 lithium, a power control box that can properly charge lithium, swapped out all the lights with LEDs, did an axle flip to raise it up a bit. Soon we will replace the crappy fridge with a 12 volt. it came with dual 20 lb propane tanks, a microwave, stovetop exhaust vent, and an electric hitch jack. With a few mods it's good as (or better) than new. Funny how new trailers don't come with batteries. Also, if you want to keep a trailer lightweight and inexpensive there will be compromises.
We got a better deal than the Costco offer. With that being said, I have not had much luck using Costco to purchase vehicles. I tried twice and the dealer that Costco sent me to would not honor the price or try to tack on fees.
Great job on this video. You gave us all the information we needed but not all the boring details. If you are going to do this yourself you'll have to be able to figure out some of the details yourself. Again thanks and great job. 👍👍
It worked great until I sold the RV. We never had any issues with it. I have spoken to the people who purchased the RV several months ago and they say it works like a charm. I’m so impressed with the eg4 that We plan on getting some For our new Homestead
Okay just an fyi Tropical Palms is not in Orlando its in Kissimmee. Its the same company that manages our mobile home park and they suck here, but from what I heard they treat RVers better
We just installed an RV lock on our Paradigm. The lock is curved a bit and sticks out. When we folded in the safety rail for travel, it doesn’t quite sit flush to the camper. Are you having that issue?
