Video

I went last year, and had so much fun.

What a great video. I actually enjoyed the comedy as it makes it basic for us lol

What kind of litature and / or diagrams do you have for this 48v system?

This fridge for the price is an disaster. Impossible to keep food in the fridge or freezer at safe food storage temperatures whatever the weather. The controls for temperature are a total failure. Either freezer is not cold enough or cabinet wants to freeze. This Dometic NRX is expensive rubbish. Dometic for service and repairs on this fridge are hopeless. No product support.

Hello, where can I operate the relays of the Cerbo GX if they are configured to manual? Best regards Sascha

oh, I notice the SOK batteries box there.

Thank y for such a thorough review!

You mentioned the remote temperature upgrade. Can you elaborate on the EXACT details of how to connect it? The sensor part number is (1319842A/9005004B). I have a Multicontroller HD and it is connected the 4pin plug with a red, brown and black wire. The other 4 pin plug has a red, white, blue and black wire. I have read that there is a resistor somewhere in the loom. Which of the two looms mentioned would that resistor be in? I have also read that one can cut two wires coming out of the main plug and connect the remote temperature sensor there as well. Can you comment on how to connect the webasto remote temperature sensor?

If u read the red label carefully, it actually tells u to strip 18 mm or put an 18mm ferrule. U definitely want the ferrules without the housing as it also tells u that u must insert the cable 1 in .

Does the door not dent easily?

I've been waiting for this video in my life. Thank you. Hard to be stealth in metropolitan areas with solar panels on the roof. Anyone on a second storey or higher knows.

In theory you can adjust the fuel pump for altitude by using a pump with a lower dosage. Then the frequency is high enough even at lower fuel amounts to avoid starvation of the flame. Newer heaters do it that way.

What size wire from alternator to buss bar

Got mine. Installation was easy - great tank. For anyone intimidated by his (comedic) struggling with the rivnuts, there is a MUCH easier way. Do not try to compress them in one single go! That is way too hard because the handles are out parallel to the work surface and it is like trying to bend a 2x4 to push the handles together. Only screw the rivnut on so that the tool handles come maybe 4" inches apart. A quick squeeze and the handles can easily be pulled together. You repeat that maybe 3 times and on the last squeeze you'll see the rivnut is firmly mounted. Much easier. One other tidbit - after installing your rivnut, put in a bolt and try torquing it down to whatever you plan to do when installing the tank supports. If you can't get the bolt in, you've stripped the rivnut and will need to drill it out (7/8" bit) and put in a new one. If they tighten up and can be removed with no problem, great! But if you are tightening them and notice the rivnut starts to spin, stop immediately, remove the bolt, and tighten the rivnut with the tool some more. It must not spin at all. Doing this with each rivnut as you install it is WAY easier than getting the tank mostly mounted and then realizing you have a problem with a nut and it is now harder to fix with the tank in the way.

Great video - thanks! What clearance is required around the Aquahot Gen 1?

I wonder about this brand new designed harness when the first thing you do is cut off a couple terminals that are not used.

Thanks for this amazing opportunity to work together 😊 appreciate you guys!

How much head room is left once you have the raised shower platform?

Will this void the factory warranty on brand new Sprinter? Void insurance coverage? Also, I understand new vans come with an option for a beefier Alternator, would this not be cleaner/easier than a having a second dedicated alternator?

Great review. I think it's worth mentioning that Venus OS is also available for Rasperry Pi for those who wish to get their "hands dirty", so to speak. Cheers

Sometimes I think Isotherm is Italian for you're refrigerator is going to be poorly illuminated 😅😅😅. But seriously that is a good looking fridge! That condenser coil is huge!

Hi, I did not hear your name. I have been living on less than 500kwh ( according to FPL bills) a month in FL. How much/how many solar panels (of how many watts) and money i need to continue living same way off the grid and planning to be absent at least one month per year, keeping only an small fridge ( van size) ON during that month? This is all I need to know ... how much it will cost me for you to send me 2 options and estimates if you set it up for me? Many thanks in advance.

Should leave a lot more wire between the cable entry/strain relief and the terminal blocks. Also, stripped length recommendation on the inside of the equipment is 18mm. There are 18mm ferrules available and would be a better choice.

Perfect timing! Just bought your bundled package and I'm starting the Nations,/wakespeed system. Thanks.

he explains so well it's easy to understand, he has a goo0d flow when describing how things work, Thank you

thinking about purchasing this one, how do most people connect their sink to their gray water? he doesnt show him drilling a hole in the Van for the pipe or anything

Get a Safiery 48v/28v smart dc dc converter, much easier!

Great video. Do you have any that show the plumbing into the tank?

I'm in Australia so our domestic appliances are 240v not 1110vv but that makes little difference. IMO the only reason to choose 12v or 24v is to maintain the same native voltage of the vehicle in situations where your power draw is basic. Lights, tv, small fridge. If you have any desire to use domestic type equipment such as induction, electric frypans, kettles, toasters, microvwaves, AC etc skip 12 and 24 and go straight to 48v. Its not like it costs more but it does allow a huge amount of potential. Just turning on a kettle requires 160 odd amps at 12v vs 40amps at 48. Even if the cable was free the bigger stuff is just a pain to work with not to mention resistance plays a big part as far as cable lengths go at such low voltages as 12v. When you ditch the 12/24 volt camping style appliances/brands for proper 110v/240v domestic items you get a much larger range to choose from too. Those rpm figures on the alternator are for alternator speed not engine speed. They are geared via pulley size and run faster than engine RPM. They output heaps at engine idle. I'm pretty sure the Nations alternator does have diode protection but you'd use a Balmar APM for the extremely rare occation the BMS load dumps due to an individual cell low/high voltage alarm. 48v alternators also need an external regulater like a Wakespeed or Balmar unit. Long story short, be realistic about what you want to power now and in the future and build accordingly. 48v is infinitely more flexible than 12v

had such a blast, the rain did not slow anyone down. Will be back March 2025

Didn’t have to worry too much about the numbers, couldn’t understand much of the non technical stuff. Had to google boomdocking???

Nice video, what size cable are you using? Amsoil Adam posted a video about frying an inverter from not removing enough wire housing thus pushing too much plastic into the terminal. Victron says to remove 18 mm (0.7")...always something to worry about, lol.

Very nice presentation, bottom line, it’s all because of the air conditioner. That 15,000 BTU unit is incredible. Or, go to traditional route and put in a generator.

How much is the kit? Link to purchase ???

Hi, I have (1) Ecoflow balcony hybrid solar plant. (2) Delta pro 3.6kWh battery - inverter is connected and charged via (3) Ecoflow Powerstream, when it creates a peak. I have also (4) Victron 150/35 for charging my (5) 12kWh 51,2V 230ah battery with solar panels. This battery is connected to Delta pro via XT60 solar input (1600 W / 11-150 V max. 15 A ) and charges Delta pro. What fuses and where should I put them, to be Delta pro and battery protected ?

I think you should have used a wye rather than a standard tee. (?)

I think it's best practice to strip back more of the outer insulation and leave strain relief so the wires can enter the terminal block at more of a 90 deg angle.

Tutorial 👏👏👏

Awesome thank you

Just to let you guys know, between 4:00-5:15, the hole placements you have circled for holes #2, #4, and #6 in the diagrams are all incorrect, they should all be one hole further to the passenger side looking at the diagrams. Otherwise awesome video

Nice

Great information. Thanks for making this video. I’m in the market for a 48v system with a secondary alternator. I will be in touch with you guys shortly.

Hey friend,Does the 48v alternator fit a duramax?

Thanks!

What are the measurements??

Nice, neat job and well articulated description that is easy to follow for many.

Better question, did the Victron Part Number change? Or we left looking for serial numbers that indicate the change?

What I am REALLY wondering is why Wabasto has not integrated altitude adjustment into this controller?

Does the mark 2 have more compute( CPU and memory) than the original cerbo gx . The Ekrano GX has significantly better hardware than the original cerbo gx.
