2022 Ford F350 Tremor Wiring Installation for Victron DC to DC Charger 

Nice job Dane. More or less, just what I did on mine. Except I used the voltage sensing feature on the Victron. Running the wires along the driver's side is the best route since it is away from the exhaust and following a factory loom. I also used the passenger side battery as that seems to be the primary battery with the best connections.

Nice video on the topic that interests me. Will be doing this install for a Victron DC to DC on my travel trailer this spring. Good to hear you give a shout out to Mr. Roamer. We've had a couple great conversations and shared a lot of good ideas for the Tremor and campers. Looks like a great setup.

Great video. I’m wanting to do this to my super duty platinum, I just bought an overland off grid camper with 800 watts of solar and loaded with all Victron components. I’m kinda new to this solar stuff, but I sure have learned a lot from you tube

I did a similar install on my F250. For the Anderson connector I mounted it to the bottom of the receiver hitch with a stainless self tapping screw. If that weakens the hitch we have bigger problems.

Thx I have a 2022 350 and a Victron dc to dc charger that came w my trailer...this helps a lot thx

This is funny. You answered my post on the Superduty fb page when I got done watching this. I'm running 4AWG, but I think I will run them on the passenger side of the truck as this is a shorter path for me. My charger will also be on the passenger side of the camper, so I'll just be extra careful to have the wires well away from and blocked from the exhaust. I've spent a long time getting ready to do this, because I don't want to have to undo anything if I can help it. I also decided to go with a 60 amp fuse instead of a breaker. The only advantage is it won't trip in the heat. I don't expect it to trip period, but we'll see what happens. How did your install work for you up to this point?

Nice job Dane! Looking to do this on my 2016... Hope you are doing well!

Great video. I have a 2022 F350 FX4 so this will help a lot. Can you tell me what gauge wire you used and the size of the Anderson Connectors. I suspect 6 AWG and 50 amp connectors?

I enjoyed your video especially since I have almost the same truck. I am going to add one as soon as I can. Question - Why does the negative have to go all the way to the front, why wouldn't grounding on the frame work? Since wire size is based on current and total length of positive and negative you could cut back on the gauge, maybe. 6 gauge copper (not the cheap CCA) is very expensive and at 30 amps one run should work on 10 gauge according to chassis wiring specs from the manufacturers. Also, the often used rule of thumb is a 20% margin meaning that a 40 amp circuit should work meaning I could actually hookup to my 40 amp upfitter switch. I would really appreciate any comments. This the last step in my RV upgrade which includes 1000W solar, 100 amp MPPT controller, inverter, 400ah Lithium, series shunt and house charger to Lithium. Thanks for doing this video and all the best. Jim

Using same charger. Gets so hot I can’t touch it for more than a few seconds! Is that normal? I’m using 6awg wire and 60amp fuse at the battery. Is the burning hot normal?!

I have not checked for any voltage drop. Checking a voltage drop calculator online the 6 and 25 feet @ 12volts and 30 amps it says the voltage drop would be 0.59v

In this setup, would the anderson plug at the bumper always be hot in the key-on position?

Nice one!

I'm seeing vast cost difference of the 6 guage wire from 65 to 210.00. Curious where you purchased your wire from the battery to the connection in the back. Thanks

Since the 12 v from the 7 way is left as is, i assume the dc to dc charger over rides any charging that would normally come from the 7 way, which could potentially damage the alternator. Thanks for your comments.

Does the wire loom protect it from heat or just damage? I did not put this over my wires on my install. Do you reommend that I add this loom cover over my wiring? I tried to avoid the exaust area when running it.I am running a 40amp DC-DC charger made by Renogy. I do have the correct 60 amp breaker on the battery end and the 50 amp breaker on the RV battery side of the DD-DC charger.

What gauge wire did you use

Question, why didn't you hook it up to the driver side battery?

What size/gauge wire did you use for positive/negative? Looks like 8awg but I could be wrong.

What type, gauge, and length of wire did you use for the yellow wire?

Do you have issues with your breaker “poping” due to getting hot under the hood?

What do you do with the 12v that is coming in from the regular 7 pin trailer hook up

Let’s see that 🐍

Why did you use a 60A fuse/breaker for a 30 A DC-DC controller? Shouldn't it be a 30A? Also is the passenger side battery the starter battery on the Ford diesel ? Is that why you wired to it instead of the driver;s side or was it just because of your accessory switch fuse box location? Thanks!

No one's treading on you, sweetie.

I love don’t tread on me stuff. It’s an indicator of who the scared little children are.

What size alternator did your truck come with?
