After 7 minutes I already heard more information than anywhere else, and then there was 300% knowledge more. No fluff, just professional info. Thanks again! Awesome content!

@jules3768 Год назад

I must have watched 100+ videos on solar power systems, and this is by far the most helpful one I’ve ever seen, even if I can’t afford all Victron 🙃 Thank you!!!

@marcpoirier8419 Год назад

Very informative. Great explanations, simple but to the point. Well done. I wish I would have bought my van from you guys. Keep up the good work

@VanLand Год назад

Thank you Marc! Hope you are enjoying your van.

@carvesnow Год назад

The Victron systems are amazing but so expensive. I started out with a 100w solar, cheap pvm controller and 1x 110amh battery. I used the two usb ports on the $5 pvm unit to charge most devices and had a small 4 fused wire unit, for the lights and another usb port. It worked fine, with no issues, even with no fuse for the battery to the controller. Currently doing Van 2 build and have an MPT unit, fused battery switch, 8 port fused live wire unit for lights, 12v cooler, other USB ports, large 12v port. So as much as Id love to even have the basic Victron set up, its just not feasible for a low roof, lwb van. Maybe when I win on the lottery lol

@danemmerich6775 Год назад

Exactly so true!!

@abdmasoud Год назад

Hi I am watching your informative videos and like the content of it, you are explaining things in simple way. I was missing seeing that you did not introduce the Orion line in this setting do you think it is not needed in this case?

@TheGoodlifeoffgrid 11 месяцев назад

Looks like a good system but-to big for my car 😊 great video 😊

@AkiraKobayashisan Год назад

Very good video, thanks a lot! Just could not find in any of your videos the explanation about how you connect a high output alternator to Lynx BMS 500. Is this a direct connection to the Lynx Distributor then Lynx 500 manages the charge, or is there anything else between the alternator and the BMS bus bar? Thanks

@bobstransitvan3053 Год назад

The lights on the Lynx Distributor do not work if you don't have a Lynx Shunt or BMS. You can get the lights to work with a 12V to 5V converter and the cable provided with the Lynx Distributor. Analyze your needs to determine if you need the 3kW Inverter charger. The 2kW inverter charger may be big enough for your AC needs.

@paulvuylsteke1073 7 месяцев назад

Hi , I wonder why nobody explains about using a TESLA POWER WALL as the complete Best Power System? Appreciate very much to hear about soon. Thanks fot your magnificent videos. Greetings from Belgium.

@DMC_vlogs 10 месяцев назад

so much extra stuff you'd even with a 'smart' battery from Victron, my actual 'smart' battery from Liontron connects via Bluetooth and I can see all data I need

@HarisCupina Год назад

Awesome video (the thumbnail and written text caught my eye), first time I see that BMS for regular alternator COOL. My question for u is - do u have partner in EU (Germany) for the powering victron systems ? Looking for one, if u can connect me with one of your partners that would be great :) I am not sure that I can do it all by my self installing correctly - that's why I need professional victron instaler.

@rod8073 8 дней назад

Great video! Is there a reason you went with the multiplus instead of the multiplus ll? I’m leaning towards the older multiplus. Help!?

@tsangsir8827 Год назад

how do you like the ecoflow power kits? I don't think I have the skills to wire these up.

@earlhamil731 Год назад

Assuming the GX display is hardwired on CAT 5 or 6 it can be mounted anywhere correct? Is it a simplex or redundant network?

@Joe-nx7nj 4 месяца назад

Can you use different smart batteries with the victron system and can you monitor them through the interface

@emilybesserer1999 Год назад

awesome video! So essentially the BMS replaces the DC to DC charger from Victron?

@VanLand Год назад

No it doesn’t replace the DC charger unless you have an external regulator for the alternator.

@ovchannelag5238 Год назад

👍👍👍

@sudo936 Год назад

What kind of door hinges are on the cabinet?

@gonewiththekale 16 дней назад

What if you have 24v solar panels for your van?

@leefinefurniture494 Год назад

One thing I wanted to make sure y’all knew is that there is a setting in the Cerbo for the GX Touch 50 that gives you an “RV Screen” and gives all the functionality that a Digital Multi Control does. No need to purchase if you have a GX Touch! 💪🏻

@VanLand Год назад

That’s correct- you don’t need both.

@leefinefurniture494 Год назад

Best thing is no menu hopping when you turn the RV screen on. It’s all just there- current limit and on/off/charger only already there. Plus shows all tank levels on same screen too! Before I knew that feature I would always hop through the menus on the GX Touch to turn on/off and limit current. So annoying…I just don’t think many folks know it’s available but has to be turned on.

@canmtb4676 Год назад

Can I install these in Ekko ?

@mikefranks4528 2 месяца назад

I would not go as far as "Best power system". If it does not have 48v battery bank then definitely not the best. Glad you went with Victron though. My rule of thumb is the higher the voltage the better the efficiency.

@tmo7984 Год назад

Great video! If I’m not charging off my alternator, do I need the BMS device?

@VanLand Год назад

Yes- the batteries require a BMS. Some are built in but the Victron batteries have an external BMS.

@AMEGO 10 месяцев назад

Can we charge it on electric car public charge ?

The massive capacity, fast recharging, and waterproof technology are definitely appealing. Plus, the smart app control feature seems really convenient. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, it's definitely worth considering for our next adventure!

@jaredhankins9171 Год назад

You show the Blue Sea's outlet fuse switch and mention there's two 110V units which the exposed switch panel controls, can you please break this information down? Are the two 110V units wired from their devices direct to the switch then to the Lynx? Those two devices are the AC unit and what's the second? Thank you, awesome videos!

@VanLand Год назад

Hi, the setup is batteries > Lynx distributor > Multiplus inverter > breaker box > 110v appliances.

@VanLand Год назад

The air conditioner is 12v so that goes directly from the Lynx distributor to the unit.

@Kittyjesus503 Год назад

How much does this system with batteries weigh?

@outthere9370 Месяц назад

Is there going 2b any room left in the van once all these units r installed???? 🤔

@shinesweetmoon 2 месяца назад

But how did you connect the BMS?

@traiannicolau 8 месяцев назад

why is your mppt in absorption at only 13.3 V?

@TheGoodlifeoffgrid 11 месяцев назад

Hello just found your channel. I am going to set up my own power off grid. I wonder I have two 100w solar power panels from ecoflow I was going to buy a ecoflow . But as they are expensive I thought I would just have a go at setting up my own power 🫣 thank you

@user-mz5tr6mh4y 11 месяцев назад

How much cost this system complete?

@chrisunderhill8853 Год назад

[Question] if i was to install this power system say into a trailer in my case a pop up, and i put the trailer away for the winter what is your recommendations for winterizing/ batteries health should i use shore power all winter to keep them fully charges or just simply turn the system to the off via breakers and use a batteries tender to keep them up?

@VanLand Год назад

The battery tender would do the job. When the batteries get really cold, the BMS will shut them down and prevent charging/discharging until they warm up to operating temperature.

@xavierreigneau41 2 месяца назад

Why not just go with the Bluetti AC200L and attach 2 B300 Batteries?

@cliftonwilliams766 Год назад

The absolutely best, simplist, cheapest van or RV power system is the 12v battery powered, inverter "110v Power Pack" system! Everthing electrical for the conversion is 110v..........no 12, 24, 48 volt! Use much less expensive high efficiency 110v everything? Use the money you save to buy more lithium batteries. Charged with alternator DC to DC charger, 110v plug in or small propane/synthetic lubed genverter. No solar sun or wind power.

@waterwings2661 7 месяцев назад

Just one question, why on earth would you install the display where you can’t even see it unless you’re outside with the back door opened?

@VanLand 7 месяцев назад

The bluetooth app allows you to see the power system details from anywhere.

@redplanetdcone9267 Год назад

Do you guys sell a ready to install sustem

@VanLand Год назад

Yes, our EcoFlow Power Kits are plug and play. As easy as it gets! vanlandstore.com/collections/ecoflow

@joeygenochio6024 Год назад

So If you have a BMS managing the alternator, you don’t need the DC-DC charger?

@VanLand Год назад

Right.

@yami3960 2 месяца назад

Im reading the Lynx Distributor manual and it says up to 4 Distributors can be connected to the BMS. What would be the reasons to have more than one Distributor?

@VanLand 2 месяца назад

If you have a lot of circuits to power.

@MarkYager Год назад

that inverter/charger is massive! The Mastervolt Combimasters are MUCH smaller, and their communications system doesn't require a stand-alone interface box.

@bobbywalter5320 5 месяцев назад

Lifespan and reliability index?

@Okayplaya Год назад

Is there enough room in the Revel for this?

@VanLand Год назад

Not this setup.

@slimanus8m 8 месяцев назад

Why do you need another BMS? the batteries has a built-in BMS, why not connect the alternator to the charger?

@VanLand 8 месяцев назад

These batteries do not have a built in BMS. You must add one and connect via the cables.

@slimanus8m 8 месяцев назад

@@VanLand oh...got you...risky move from them, even DIY are built with an internal BMS...look at EG4 for example - good quality at a much cheaper price

@glennr9913 Год назад

All those pretty blue gizmos look expensive.

@stevef4304 Год назад

And heavy and bulky

@danemmerich6775 Год назад

I would love to use Victton, but It cost so much especially if you buy all Victron products. What is the cost of that entire system?

@VanLand Год назад

These systems run $8k-$12k depending on the setup.

@fudogwhisperer3590 Год назад

Is this a 12 24 48v system??

@VanLand Год назад

This one is 12v

@jamesray3920 8 месяцев назад

So why victron over renogy much more expensive to have the same results, which is power 😊

@VanLand 8 месяцев назад

Renogy is not as reliable.

@bobbywalter5320 5 месяцев назад

Yeah....power for how long is the key question. Of course....fire....in an accident..seems location shielding is something to build around. Adding a 3 to 5 k generator head seems a better idea.

@sekainiheiwa3650 Год назад

I made a 1000 Ah Victron system and it cost me 10000 euros and I could last off the grid for a month but then I notice that my fresh water tank lasted 3 days and my Dometic fridge was empty on a fourth day, I think someone f. hard for a 10K

@verlicht Год назад

10:00 Those AC wires on the bottom of the inverter really need to be inside the glands.
