Inverters for RVs add a tremendous amount of flexibility and functionality. Today we install the Victron MultiPlus a Hybrid Inverter. I show how to install it on a 50 amp RV and be able to power everything. We have diagrams on the website to be able to install it with a manual or automatic switch or install the inverter in a 30 amp RV.allaboutrvsinfo.com/rv-invert...
With this installation method, you can have the Inverter power it all and still have full function of the Power assist Hybrid capabilities.
Diagrams here: allaboutrvsinfo.com/rv-invert...

I made final connections today, and tested the system. It all works great so far, will get to do a full test in the next 2 weeks we will be camping with 30 amp service but plan on unplugging and sudo boondocking to see how long 3 100 amp hr battleborn batteries will last up.

Then they told me they are bringing out a new quite one and when they do they will send it to me to swap back for the loaner. I have all Victron too. Good stuff. I did use some of your schematics and thank you for providing them for free.

I’m in over my head. I bought the battle born batteries and the Victron 3000 multipass. Can I make it work without all the other accessories on this diagram? The SPS is out of stock I have no idea how to replace that. Do hi just replace the inverterThat I currently have with the Victron? The inverter I currently have will not charge lithium ion batteries. Please help! No service center in my area will take a customer for over two months. I’m feeling like I should send all of the stuff back. And stick with deep cycle batteries and get through the season.

This, plus solar panels and controllers for them, is not hugely more than an Onan generator when buying new. It is more, but if you ever sell your RV, and most people eventually do, a used generator depreciates hugely because buyers normally doubt they have been maintained. Solar panels and lithium batteries require no maintenance and have lifespans of decades, so therefore have a higher resale value. Total cost to install, use for 2 to 5 years, and sell will be less for solar, plus the silence means you can run it all night in a campground that has a generator curfew. If you already have an RV with a generator, the economics are less attractive, until and unless your generator dies.

I was going to go with the multi +2 but believe it or not my 2000 Monaco dynasty doesn’t have enough room in that compartment considering all the other equipment in there with it. But this will do the trick and it’s a very big upgrade over my 1999 trace 2000 Square sine inverter. UPDATE: I installed it in my coach and It works great and my microwave doesn't make a nasty noise anymore when on the inverter. Thank You

for the price of the switch you can almost buy another multi-plus and get true 3000 watts on each leg, instead of splitting the 3000 watts in half. Plus the victrons are set up to function as true split phase. Don't waist you money on a switch that expensive and a little dangerous if it malfunctions one time.

Great video and info as always. I use the Go Power IC2000, true power sharing is only on leg 1, it also has a built in transfer switch and 100 amp battery charger. Though our trailer is "50 amp" , the main part of the coach runs on 30A, which is connected to leg 1. I think the only true 50a appliance, is the battery charger of the IC2000. the second leg goes to its own dedicated circuit breaker, this runs the front bedroom AC. Anyhow thanks for the info.

This is very insightful and helpful! I have a small Lance 1995 trailer, and I've been thinking of installing an inverter (I can't believe it didn't come with one installed). I've been kicking around the idea of building a bumper-mount box with batteries, inverter, etc., that I could essentially plug the camper into as needed (and take with me if I upgrade later). I think I could use this setup for something like that-though there's the issue of the inverter running the convertor. Thanks for being our sherpa on this mountain, sir. These are great.

Thanks for your very informative videos. I have just finished a nearly identical 30 amp set up this week and it's awesome! I spent several months scouring RU-vid for videos that I could really understand and your videos made me a little more relaxed when I was freaking out about the complexity of it all. The connection to the distribution panel was the most mysterious part of it for me so when I started running out of time and patience I ended up paying an installer $1300 to wire it up. But I couldn't be happier now. 800 watts of solar and 300 amp hours of battle born batteries with a 60 amp solar charge controller and 3000 watt multiplus has been perfect for me so far.

Can you share what was included in that $1300? Seems awfully high for just labor on a one day job so I'm wondering what parts and materials were included in that cost? Thx

Unfortunately $1300 was just 10 hours of labor at $130 an hour. The wires, fuse, etc were another $400ish. The labor included making custom battery cables, connection to inverter, connection to charge controller, connection to distribution panel (AC and 12v) as well as installation of shunt/battery monitor, disconnect switch, and fuse. I installed the solar panels (including wiring) and mounted the batteries, inverter, and charge controller. They had quoted me at 5 to 10 hours and it ended up taking them more than 10 hours but they only charged me for 10. It definitely is pricey and I struggled with which installer to go with. I got lower quotes and I got higher quotes but I wanted to be sure the person I went with really knew how to do it properly. Customer service and warranty was key for me considering the huge investment in components. I’m very happy with what I’ve got now! Good luck!

looks good. I would highly recommend a mechanical interlock on those relays. if one welds in, your going to get major damage and possible fire

Another great video Jared, so much information and well presented. Might I suggest you change out the Phillips set screws in the Victron with Allen setscrews like you have in the SPS. I’m sure you felt the difference in how securely you could torque them. I would also use some green Loctite on the threads. The combination of adequate torque and the Loctite would give you the confidence those connections won’t back off due to vibrations while going down the road.

most of the these full time RU-vidrs get their stuff free for making the the video. Some of them are transparent and put info header on the video, that they are getting compensated for the video by either money or the product.
