Martin this is the best review I have seen of this unit; you did a great job of showing real world uses for a power station like this! (Not just lab testing numbers no one understands)
Thanks Martin for such a great video! We are kinda living in scary times right now now. We all need to prepare for if the grid goes down. Thanks again!
Martin you’re the best at really detailing everything in a way we all can understand. I’m ordering this thing but getting three solar panels. Great job!!
Ya I wanted to order 3 panel too. But I just didn't have enough funds to buy a 3rd panel and got to many other projects I'm working on for videos. Just as a friendly reminder, it sure would be nice if you buy it thru my Amazon Store. Joanie & I so grateful when our fans use our store. You're going to love this Bluetti 💗 www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet thx Darren
Ya but think of it this way. RVer's spent millions on repairs after the historic winter of 2021 that slammed into Texas because they weren't prepared with alternative power sources. And regular Texas households.....100's of millions in damages and lost of life. In an emergency you better have a have plan already in place 👍
When you lose power what’s it worth if you don’t have gas or electricity for days? Why do we buy insurance on our homes, cars, etc is to prepare against catastrophic situation. On the plus side I will be using to run equipment where I don’t have electricity and don’t want a gas generator making noise. I already have a gas generator but as stated above I need this in addition for these other reasons.
@@darrenklein8358 *Why do we buy insurance on our homes, cars, etc is to prepare against catastrophic situation* I hear ya Darren but hear me out…. Having insurance isn’t “preparing against a catastrophic situation” Insurance is to hopefully make you whole again AFTER the catastrophe has happened. In some of these "catastrophic situations" insurance companies MAY pay for some damages or they may not. Just depends. But during a catastrophe insurance won't keep you warm, save your groceries, allow you to cook, take care of your pets or kids, keep life saving devices running that some people need at home or in the RV, keep your communicating devices running so you can stay informed and on and on I could go. Now it is true that RVer's that incurred actual damages to the RV itself-and they did believe me, some very serious damages-they can file a claim and then wait months to get it fixed. That is if parts are available and you can get an appointment. Being prepared for situations like this by having multiple back up power plans could have prevented many of these things I listed above from happening in the first place. This is exactly why I have chosen multiple sources of back up power. Some gas, some solar, and my Bluetti AC200P as my final piece for passive big power. I always have to access what option is best for any particular situation. And BTW...my Honda generator can run our entire 50amp RV delivering 15amps for 8hrs on one gallon of gas and you can hardly hear it and I can comfortably live on 15amps for months. Done it many times. Insurance in my view is the clean up crew after a catastrophe. They can’t help you one bit during a catastrophe. Watch these 2 videos if you haven’t already and you’ll get a better idea of where I’m coming from and why you need these type of backup plans: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nDSm4Tkpq44.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QkTupmk2y3Y.html
Good afternoon Martin my name is Tyrone after watching this one particular video two times you have no idea how you stroke some fire under my feet forgetting the blue Eddie man I am so excited thank you so much for putting this video out there I have told about four friends about you my brother you are the truth
Thank you Tyrone. Ya, it's a great unit. Just a friendly reminder, I do sell it in my Amazon Store which would be a great way to say thank you 😎 www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet
I love these Bluettie set ups. But I really can't justify it for the rig at this point in time as we virtually never set up the rig unless tethered to shore power. All that said I could really see how it could help at the house during extended power outages around the homestead. We loose power from hurricanes in the summer and fall, severe storms in the spring, and ice storms in the winter. As the house is total electric, I like it better than using our 2 generators for extended periods of time. Great video!
just recently came across your channel...IMPRESSED with what you have been able to do with just 15 amp to your 50 amp RV...VERY HELPFUL!!! Gives me lots more food for thought as we embark on our FIRST 5th wheel and into full time rving....
I bought a Ecoflow Delta last year and have been loving it. I considered the Bluetti but the charging time is double what I get with the Delta. I use my motorhome Onan 4000 watt gas generator to restore it to 100% in about one hour. I have no issues with the battery chemistry or lifecycle rating because we don't boondock very much. I fully expect to get 10 plus years of use. In my opinion a power station is a must have for any full time RVer.
If you don't have solar connected 24/7 and the charge goes up and down alot a regular lithium is just fine, it still give you like 1000cycles or so. The Ecoflow delta comes with LiFePO4 batteries though.
@@neilrankin9945 I did get the Bluetti 200 max. I wish there was a hole in my rv that I could pull the 30 amp plug through and plug into it. It's so heavy,(62 lbs), dragging in and out of the rv is not realistic for me. Beginning and end of a trip is hard enough but doable. It really makes boondocking more enjoyable. 😀
Thank you so much. I have a Bluetti AC200 (Indiegogo). I use it for Sticks and Bricks and farm out buildings but my ultimate intent was my RV. This gets me such a head start
Ya that was the first version that came out. My AC200P is the upgrade to that unit. Nice job getting in on the ground floor and preparing for what may be coming next.
If you want to know how I came to the decisions I did for my complete-PORTABLE-emergency plan, watch these two videos: PREPARE NOW - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nDSm4Tkpq44.html HOW WE LIVE ON 15AMPS - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QkTupmk2y3Y.html Segments in this video: 00:00 - Opening and Overview 06:56 - Installing Pass Thru Hatch 09:34 - Heating the Bedroom & then recharging the Bluetti AC200P with my Honda Generator 13:29 - Powering our 50amp RV on 15amps 18:26 - Using the Bluetti AC200P as a Stand Alone Unit in any RV 25:16 - Running a Large Floor Heater with additional Power Sources 30:22 - Solar BLUETTI SP200 solar panels 34:44 - Why not just use my onboard Onan Generator 36:25 - Gasoline hack 37:38 - Important Closing Comments Please don't ask me about any particular device you have if it will run on the Bluetti AC200P If you want to know how long this Bluetti AC200P will power any device you have, use this formula: • 1800wh (or so usable) divided by the amount of watts your device uses, and that will give you the amount of hours it will run that device. But just remember, this formula is just using the stored power-the current stage of charge (SOC)-of the Bluetti at that time. But, you can always be charging it at the same time while using it, bringing in more power from other sources at any time, therefore continuing to keep the SOC high. This 2000wh LifePO4 battery in the Bluetti can power just about anything you or I can throw at it and charges really fast especially with 2 AC bricks (2hrs)….or a little slower using one AC brick and solar. So many ways to charge this baby. i initially wanted to buy a 3rd - 200watt solar panel but didn't have the funds at the time when I did this video. But just recently, I did buy a 3rd panel. Also, Bluetti has just added to their solar arsenal a new 350watt solar panel that is compatible with this AC200P and also has the ability to hang or deploy horizontally like normal. I've added this new 350watt solar panel to my Amazon store in the "Everything Electrical" category: www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet The Bluetti AC200P can receive up to 700watts of solar. You can hook up as much solar to the Bluetti as you want, but it will receive a maximum of 700watts. 700 watts of of incoming solar will charge this baby in about 2.5hrs. After having this system now for a few months now, all I can say is "I'm really glad I have this back up system and for emergencies and it has performed flawlessly". Be sure to check out the description text-in the *Show More*-area under every video for more details. If you’re unsure how to find that area watch this video I did: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bprAsHO7-F8.html Here's all my videos: ru-vid.complaylists Everything I covered in this video-and all my other videos-is in my Amazon Store: www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet
Fantastic! I have an EB70S, and while it’s only a max of 800 watts, I just tried it with our 30 amp rig and it worked great! Of course, we can’t run the a/c or microwave with only 800 watts, but we can live without those luxuries (and have a dual fuel generator in the event we decide we can’t live without those luxuries). I also have a 200 watt and 120 watt solar panel, so feel this is an excellent long term boondocking solution.
Martin, very real world and useful review on the Bluetti. I am going with two AC500 units on my Express Cruiser boat and getting off the generator and grid!
Martin, I didn't know a device like Bluetti existed! After the Texas Freeze and rolling blackouts I built a box like the Bluetti that is based on RV technology. It's a LIPO 12V RV Battery (arouind $1000 at the time), a Pure Sinewave inverter 2000 Watt, and an RV style Converter (Charger with LIPO charging profiles). The whole thing was about $1800. I put it in a wooden box with wheels and use it in my Office to power my PC and Networking. It charges while it feeds 110V up to 18 Amps to my office. It's been a great computer saver, and weighs about 65#. I put a 150A Battery Cable Fuse in it to protect it, and a panel so you can see the charge Amps, Usage Amps, and Battery Voltage. You're box would have the same ability, but cost much less! I'm an Electrical Engineer (retired) so it was a no brainer, but SIMPLER is always better. Love the channel. It's like having a real Mechanic on my staff!
Great video as usual Martin. I’m thinking Bluetti should be giving you something for showcasing their product so well. Added this to my wish list. Something else I can add to my learning list for 2022.
Thanks Martin, Great information. I just purchased the AC200P Max from your Amazon store. I be been rving for years and think these power stations are so much better then gas generators in almost all situations. All your videos are very helpful and motivating. Safe travels !
Thank you Glenn, Ya, you'll be happy with the Max for sure. I love our AC200P. And you're right, in most situations they are head and shoulders above using a gas generator. Ours has just the right amount of power that we need. And thank you so much for using my Amazon Store. Joanie & I are always so humbled by how loyal our fans are and show their thanks for the work we do, by using it to purchase whatever they need. And you are one of those loyal fans 🙏 🙏 🙏
Mind Blown….Absolutely amazing video! Thank you so much for your information!!!!!!! I appreciate you.. definitely educational!!! I have a LOT to learn!!
Very nice! I have the Bluetti EB70 and love it. I use a Baldr 120 watt folding solar panel with it. Works great! Thinking of getting that 200P as well. Great video!
I use a 12 year old CPAP with a little bluetti ac50s. It has a humidifier but I never use it. Draws maybe 20 watts of power. I can run it off the bluetti for at least 4 nights without recharging. It's the only thing I use the bluetti for.
martin, i have a renogy 200 watt suitcase solar panel, havent used i yet, your getting me all primed for the spring and as always sir, thanks a bunch for me and all the rvers out there
If your solar panel has MC4 connectors it will work with the AC200P...BUT that's why I pointed out in the description text to buy at least 2 - 200watt solar panels. This Bluetti needs a minimum amount of solar coming in or it really won't do you much good. I wanted to buy 3 - 200watt panels but didn't have the funds at the time. This Bluetti will take up to 700 watts of solar. To get 700 watts of solar you'd more than likely have to have 1000watts of solar panels deployed outside. So in your case you have 1 200watt panel. In reality your only going to get about 125watts out of it or so. Depends on so many things.
I absolutely love it when people GEEK out on stuff. Is that your wife on your Right arm tattoo? Great video. I'm going to be getting me one of these Bluetti Generators for my T@B 400 camper for boondocking.
The 200Max has a shore power socket, so no dog bone. With your AC200P, you can double its capacity with the expansion battery module, BLUETTI B230 Expansion Battery | 2,048Wh.
Great video! When using the generator to charge the bluettie I would try to find other loads that would allow the generator run at 80% capacity. Examples like charging or running your computer, making coffee and charging other devices or even running the heater. That way you get the most out of the gas generator and the bluettie. I have the same bluettie and it is an absolute beast and love it. Thanks again.
Thank you for your video as I am considering the 3K investment for the purchase of a Bluetti AC200 max w/ solar panels. Living on the south coast of OR brings many overcast days in the winter, however the rain abruptly stops come summer, then theres 5 mo of drought where solar power can be utilized. Your video has shown so many ways this amazing power source can be used has been so helpful. Thanks again
Yes, we were on a mission trip to Texas last year when the windmills froze. Made a beeline to RGV but still had no power for 3 days in an Encore Resort in Weslaco. Guess we really should get your setup. One question: Vicki insists on using 1875w hairdryer and 2 other lesser wattage implements with or without shore power. If she uses them one-at-a-time plugged directly into that Bluetti she shouldn't blow fuses, right?
Using them one at a time they'll work fine mostly bc you only use a hair dryer for short amounts of time. Some solutions to that would be to use the dryer on low or buy a different one that use a little less power. I actually wanted to show a test using a hair dryer but Joanie didn't have one. The formula to calculate what the Bluetti will run I posted in the very first comment at the top. If you over power the Bluetti it doesn't blow a fuse. There are no fuses. It just shuts down and gives you a fault code. You clear the fault code in the LED screen and then continue using the Bluetti.
Some great tips Martin. Have you posted details of your coach battery setup including power monitoring anywhere? Thanks as always for the thoughtful content.
Martin, Even my wife kinda understands the importance and how the Bluetti can help us on the road. Can we run a camper AC on it for a few hours? Love your videos. Hope you have a meet up someday.
For a little while IF you install a soft start. BUT...in emergency situations I would not use the Bluetti for AC. Not practical. I'd use my small Honda for that.
Martin, I hope by now (September 2022) you know that Hutch Mountain has a kit to add the ability to run your Honda on Propane or Gas. You have the ability to turn the selector knob to Propane or Gas! I purchased all the attachment hoses, etc. from them, also. They are wonderful with assistance!! I have both the Honda 2200i and the companion 2200i units. I called and asked if they would tell me all that I need to change both generators. They went through all the connection hoses, with me and explained each one. It's a very easy install. If a 71 year old woman can do it, anyone can! I also found a YT video called, "Pimp my Honda Generator". I purchased that kit also. It has a well made and nice looking, red, magnetic dip stick and a matching extension for draining the oil, with no mess! There's a metal handle attachment to deter a thief and also a nice cover for your unit. The cover doesn't say "Honda", which also helps to deter a thief. Thank you Martin, for all you do!!!
Stay tuned, next week Martin will show us how he uses wind power, hydroelectric power, and plutonium to provide addition power to the Bluetti.......😁 (this may have been your best video yet!!!!!!)
You always have such great information Martin. We don't full-time,but we live in California, so we have frequent electric outages. We usually use the RV generator to power the fridge and separate freezer. I'm thinking of using the Bluetti to run the fridge and freezer at night so we can shut down the generator. Do you think the Bluetti would run the household fridge and freezer for the night? And how long can you store the Bluetti without it discharging? Thanks for making your great videos.
If you want to know how long this Bluetti AC200P will power any device you have, use this formula: • 1800wh (or so usable) divided by the amount of watts your device uses, and that will give you the amount of hours it will run that device. You can store it up to 6 months without using it. Then just charge it to 100% again.
I'm not sure about that. I haven't stored it that long to know. But most back up power units will lose a little power over time. Not much though. I mean it has a Lithium iron phosphate battery. Very robust so I wouldn't think it would lose much. All you'd have to do after say 3 months or so is turn it on and see where it's at. If it's a little low just charge it up again to 100%.
I really love your review of the AC200P. I could’ve bought it but instead I bought the EB240 which comes with a 1000w inverter but has larger battery - 2400Wh vs 2000Wh. I was too concerned with the internal power draw issue. Now after watching you use the Honda EU2000i generator (same one I have) to charge the AC200P, I wish I had bought the AC200P instead. Who cares that I have 400 more Wh or about the power draw problem with the AC200P when you can charge the AC200P in 2hrs using the extra charger with the Marine connection port set to Solar input. I also like how you connected the AC200P to the shore line and bypassed your RV inverter. WOW! I still like my EB240 and wondering if it’s possible for me to connect it to my shore line and bypass my inverter? I don’t have a large RV like you. I just have a small popup camper and don’t need to run all that you run. You’re amazing presenter.I joined your channel. Thank you!
H Felix, Ya the inverter draw in my AC200P is miniscule in the big scheme of things. I'm not familiar with the EB240 but hey give it a try on the main power cord. You'll know immediately if it will work or not. If it does, run some tests and see what it's capable of so you'll know the parameters of what it can do. If you ever decide to later on to buy the AC200P, I sure would appreciate it if you buy it thru my Amazon Store. Or anything else for that matter. And THANK YOU so much for joining my channel 🙏 Here's all my videos: ru-vid.complaylists My Amazon Store: www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet
Absolutely love your videos! You're a great teacher and really know how to break things down for anyone to understand. My husband and I are new to using generators and we've learned a lot from you. I have a question: Do you ground your Honda 2200i every time you move to a new location? I've been reading conflicting information about this and would like your opinion.
thx Wendy, Not quite sure what you mean by grounding it, but in the traditional sense no I don't. There's no need to ground it with normal use....HOWEVER....if I use the Honda 2200i to power the whole RV, then yes, I use a grounding plug in one of the outlets. This video may help you understand more of what I do and why I do it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nDSm4Tkpq44.html
Excellent information. Question: I noticed a while back in one of your videos you talked about your engine providing heat for your water heater. Is that factory or did you set that up yourself. Thanks for the great info you provide in your videos 👍.
I NEVER use my engine to heat the RV while parked. But...when we're traveling and underway and if it's really cold I'll either run the dash heat or on a very few occasions I'll run my onboard generator.
Mr Musstud ,sir , martin has the same motor home that we have , the water heater is an atwood unit , it uses 110 volts/ lp gas/ and it has what is called motor aid, a minnebago term for the engine coolant heating the water in the hot water heater , there are if you have this option, two coolant lines under the chassis of the rig, then they go up to the water heater, its basically free energy , and it works quite well , since you already have hot engine coolant , your just putting it to good use, and dont worry , engine coolant does not come in contact with the water tank , two seperate systems are utilized , i hope this helps you, btw the , its also called a heat exchanger system for the water heater
@@michaelj1232 Thank you for the answer being factory option. I have an older Class A, and trying to understand its setup, so maybe I can accomplish the same results. Question 1: If you know, where is it connected to the engine coolant system? The radiator, or the coolant hoses or by the oil filter coolant hose connection? Question 2: Is the water heater a special unit with a built-in coil or is it a standard heater with a heat exchanger by the water heater and connected to the inlet supply line and discharge hot water line? Thanks for the info.
Mrstudmud, ya i'm sorry I missed the part of your question about heating the "water heater". So ya what Michael said is correct. We have a Atwood Motoraid water heater, it's from the factory and it heats the water while were driving. It runs off the engine cooling lines.
@@RVstreet Thank You Martin! I have an older unit, is it doable to rig up such in my coach (V-10 chassis)? Does your water heater have a inside coil for that or does it use a regular water heater and connect to the inlet and outlet water lines? Thank You for the help!
No need to turn your inverter ON when you hook up the Bluetti to main power cord. By just turning ON your inverter, it immediately starts using power from your house batt's unnecessarily AND that's before you start using items that run off your inverter which drains more power. Keep the inverter OFF.
Love your videos. It's nice to see someone with a motorhome instead of a trailer doing reviews! I was doing research of the AC200P when I saw the BLUETTI AC200MAX. It appears to have a 30amp recepticle. My motorhome is on 30amp so my question is...can I power all of my motorhome by plugging into the Bluetti?
Thank you Pam 💗 So ya, the AC200MAX does have a 30amp dedicated plug. I didn't buy that model because: 1) To expensive for us, to bulky and lots, and lots of weight. For a Little House or home yes, for an RV with limited space and weight....it's just wasn't for me. 2) I didn't like the way all the components are hooked together with all those cables. To cumbersome for me. 3) I just don't need that much power and we have a 50amp RV But maybe the AC200MAXis right for you. I don't know. I do have that unit also in my Amazon store though for folks just like you that want more power. I even have the extra battery packs too. If you decide to purchase any Bluetti it would be awesome if you use our Amazon Store to purchase that or anything you normally buy on Amazon. But just think how you'd hook up your 30amp cord to the AC200MAX. You would have to do the same thing I did only drag your entire RV electrical cord up to somewhere under the RV, and install a pass thru cover there to bring the cord into the RV and plug into the AC200MAX. It might be doable but just think that thru. My AC200P has one dedicated 25amp outlet on the left but would require a separate box, wiring and cable to use that. But you really don't need that. The Bluetti in any case won't be able to power everything like the AC units but will power pretty much everything else. We have a 50amp RV and as I showed in the video I plugged the entire RV into the Bluetti and I can run several things at once. It's all about managing your power. Here's another video I did on how we live for months on 15amps every summer. I don't cover the Bluetti in this video because I didn't have it then. But I do show you how to manage and live on 15amps by plugging into a garage outlet. It's the very same thing here only your plugging into the Bluetti. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QkTupmk2y3Y.html Also here's all my videos if your interested: ru-vid.complaylists Also here's my Amazon Store if your interested: www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet Thank you Pam. I hope this helps 🔧 🙏
If you're asking which one I like better between the Pecron E1000 or the Bluetti AC200P, the Bluetti AC200P by far. Way more power and can take 800watts of solar.
Never said I was an expert. You need to watch the video again. I paid for this unit with my own money. I get nothing free. I just want to be prepared. Are you prepared?
Thank you Marlon....WOW I can't believe I forgot to add that part to my store, but I just did it now. It's in the "Everything Electrical" category. Thanks for posting this so I could correct this 🔧 www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet
Hello! I really wanted to have solar pannels installed on my fifthwheel, but following your great test, I bought the bluetti instead and 3, 200 pannels, Thanks for the great informations. The kit came in without the long wire from the pannels to the bluetti unit, where can I find this thanks again for a great show.
The longer solar panel cables do not come with the Bluetti. I bought those separately. They're in my Amazon Store in the "Everything Electrical" category. www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet NOTE: Buy the MC4 tool I have there too. It makes disconnecting the cables really easy.
The Bluetti AC 200 MAX has a 2200w inverter, 2048wh and a dedicated 30amp output. The Ecoflow Delta Pro has a 3600w inverter, Life PEO4 chemistry (same as the Bluetti) and 3600 wh. Recharges at 150amp (1800w), no heavy charging blocks. It also has a dedicated 30amp output and can easily run an air-conditioning and everything else at the same time. Surge 7200w and up to 4500w continuous. Both systems can run your entire rv effortlessly, be recharged in 2 hours or under (Ecoflow Pro 1.7 hours). The Ecoflow Pro is the more complete system that makes rv live easy. while the Bluetti is more as an extra energy source. Having both would be ideal (5648wh rechargeable in under 2hours). There the best portable solar generators you can find.
Thanks for your comment Plex 👍 Just want to make sure we're on the same page. You did hear at the very beginning and all thru the video that these systems I've implemented over this past year-including the Bluetti AC200P was for EMERGENCIES right? Of course there's more powerful systems out there. Heck if I had an unlimited budget, plenty of room, and plenty of CCC, I'd put a system together that would blow your socks off and would run on Kryptonite 😝 😝 😝 👍
Depending on needs could someone just ditch the house batteries and just use a bluetti? i just want to be able to run my fridge in conjuction with propane and maybe my furnace or a portable small heater on occasion.
I bought this unit due to the high amperage 12 volt DC port in order to feed a van build DC fuse box and avoid AC loads. Unfortunately the unit arrived with quality control issues for that aviation plug port that made it impossible to connect to. I have been trying to contact Bluetti for over a month via phone and email with little to no response. This company has absolutely zero customer support. You better hope your product works out of the box because trying to get any technical support or return authorization is near impossible.
Why was it impossible to connect the aviation cable into the port on the unit? That aviation plug has a red dot on the plug and it snaps in. There's nothing difficult about it. On the other end you have a MC4 connector. Elaborate for me exactly what's going on. After we talk here, I'll contact who helped me over at Bluetti and see if I can get you so help. I've had over 20 emails from tech support and they have responded well. Just remember also, they have been running a huge sale the past few weeks and they are probably super busy with requests and questions. EDIT: When I got my unit I also had a problem, so they replaced the unit. I thought it was the AC200P itself. It wasn’t. The 2nd unit also had the same problem and I couldn't believe two units had the same problem. So I tested the cables themselves. The long aviation plug cable was fine but turned out the problem was with that small 5” XT90 To DC7909 Cable that goes onto the end of the aviation cable. It wouldn't allow power to pass thru from the 2nd charging brick. Something was wrong with that cable. I notified them about this problem and they sent me a new cable and all has been good. After my discussions with them, they thanked me for the input and pointing out the problem with the one cable. You have to remember, ALL THESE COMPANIES-that make these kind of products can and do have production issues from time to time once the design and pre-production are approved. These problems are rare but do happen. In my case it was this little cable.
I have plugged my RV 30 amp with 15 amp dogbone into my jackery power station to charge my RV battery and can use some power, with jackery hooked up to solar panels. I really like the ideas you have given. I have the Jackery 2000, also 2 500 watt solar inverters that I use as supplement and can boondock and use my 2 12 volt refrig/freezers. I wonder if I can charge my jackery from solar and plugged into anther power source? I need to research the bluetti. it may be more versatile than my Jackery.
I found a fantastic tool for siphoning fuel out of a vehicle. It is called the gastapper. You can do a internet search and it comes up. My father in laws had a stroke last year so his vehicles have been setting all this time with full tanks of fuel. I needed to get the fuel out before it went bad. Did some research and found this tool. Worked perfect on his Ford F150 and Honda CRV. What a life saver. Check it out and keep up the great videos.
Thanks Tony, Well I keep it washed, and polish it from time to time but ya, as long as I wash it and RejeX it twice a year it keeps a nice shine to it. The RejeX really helps protect the RV from the sun which will make any finish go dull over time.
I believe you can run it to 20% but not positive about that. I am sad to say that Martin passed away and I'm not 100% sure of this answer but to be on the safe side I would run down to 20%
Good question.... I don't need that kind of power. I mean just think about it? You saw me rolling this puppy around with the dolly I made. Can you imagine having 1 or 2 more big batt's under that and all the connecting cables? It would just be way to much for me or for most RVer's IMO. Now for a tiny house or a home back up system OH YEAH!. This AC200P is portable enough, affordable, stores nicely, and packs a lot of power as you saw. One more thing, in an RV you always have to think about weight. I have plenty of CCC, but the 200 max would add probably ANOTHER 150lbs. that I would have to think about on where to distribute that extra weight. For some people that extra weight would be a problem. As I said in the very beginning of the video this AC200P checked all the boxes as far as I was concerned.
Martin, do you have a link for the Bluetti AC Charging Brick in your Amazon store? I didn't see one. Did a quick search in Amazon and didn't find it listed. As always, excellent video and very comprehensive solution.
You have to buy the extra charging brick thru Bluetti as well as some of their other accessories. My AC200P Bleutti, the 4 cables I showed that comes with it and the solar panels are what's available in my Amazon Store and is sold on Amazon. thx Space 👍
If your plugging a cable into the pedestal to charge the Bluetti and having a male connector on the cable running into you rv isn’t that plug now hot, back feeding (power on the plug ) isn’t that a little dangerous? Maybe I missed something.
I want to get the AC200max and hook it right to my electrical panel in my Grand Design 37 trailer. I need help doing this. Do you have any idea on how to do this?
My question would be, why would you want to do that? Why not just plug into the main cord like the video showed and accomplish the same thing without jumping thru all kinds of hoops with electrical distribution and charging options?
@@RVstreet Sorry you don't understand but I want the unit inside my RV not outside in the weather. What I mean is that I would like to have a plug in on the inside that I have on the outside so I could plug in inside just like outside. The extension cord does not work for me as I want the whole trailer powered by the bluetti just like it was outside, plugged in with a 30amp plug.
