Great approach and thanks for sharing. How could a brake safe battery be charged if the car has a 7 pin connector?

Thanks Matt from Queensland. Using this roach how would you suggest a battery for a brake safe system receives charge noting I have a Toyota factory fitted 7 pin connector?

Love this setup. To mount the additional panels on the roof are you drilling new holes for all the mounting brackets? Or just using silicone to stick the brackets down? As the new standards require individual fuses on each panel I'm guessing you do a penitration for each panel?

Hello who is Paul, what cells are they. We are building a camper. We want two independent solar set ups. One for fridge and draw freezer other for lights and inverter. I will send you a email this week

Toyota smart alternator

Do you have a wiring diagram where you hooked into the snowy factory installation? Im looking at a 3000w inverter installation but wondering where to intercept tje factory mains

Hi roughly what would a system like this be worth?

anyone who thinks they need this much power whilst camping needs to sell van and stay the f66k home

Man that’s some neat work great job!

how ridiculous are some people--- you dont need all this crap--- please stay home

people have to caravan without a inverter---ive done it for 40 years with no inverter

can that battery run a 240v bar fridge. I don't believe my fridge is a 3way. The sticker says Gas: Pentane 220-240V 50Hz 0.73A 106W

what's your opinion on Topargee water meters

imagine watching this knowing you did this and it was re done. this is why I rather do what I can myself even learning this stuff isn't hard if you come from the right background. I did my own 12 v setup, 1 is because i can't wait 12 months for the right person and 2 99% of auto sparkys are rubbish and couldn't do the neatness I can do.theres no pride anymore its just a bunch of wires to most

Hi Matt. just found this vid, awesome thanks. Could you do a video with everything you have here, plus add a another circuit for the electronic stabilizing control?

Hi Matt,does this work with a smart alternater on a Ford Ranger.

Can i ask why you use two MPPTs instead of one larger one?

Great test. Is an RCD DUO definitely required to run a generator into a caravan 15amp inlet? I'm sure many people would be keen to know what's required for the new regs for everyone's safety.

Mate I love seeing what great info that you share via CZcams, it has certainly peaked my interests, in fixing my 2021 Jayco Journey, although its a small van but the invaluable information about the 12 pin connector, and then moving to the dual grey and red anderson plugs. My van alone they've done some shocking works, like let run a 6mm2 cable from the 12 pin, down to a junction area with 2 over larger BP connectors, then it then jumps over to a 10mm2 cable that then runs to the Fridge with the AES 3 way function. Strangely Jayco wired the AES switch wire directly off the 12v fridge supply write in the back of the fridge, it doesn't even make it to the 12 pin plug. Job well done Mate keep it up!!

Question, how long can you run the AC with this configuration? We are looking for something that will run the ac as long as we need/want basically.

Another great video. I'm sure many people would love to see how you wire before the inverter or after for 240v hot water and power GPO through inverter. Do the new regulations star you need double pole solar isolators rated to certain Amps or can you use an 4 pole DC32 AMP isolation switch? NOT MANY off grid builders show solar safety cut offs.

Hey Matt. Such a sweet set up. What battery did you use in this set up? Do you either recommend power Paul or victron lithium ? Victron seems to over complicate using seperate BMS..

Thanks Matt what size fuses mate ?

Hi Matt what size fuses to run - I have bought jayco swan 90 litre domestic. 100amp lithium battery in jayco. And thank you very much for all this valuable information. Think to run a fuse to 12 pin connector as well, is that a good idea ? Don’t have any battery in my Hilux 2023

ANyone have a contact in Victoria who can do this?

Another great video matt. Great to see the smaller installs for campers/small RV. Did you run the 3 x200w panels parallel or 2 in series one in parallel? I trust If around 20v and 10 amps run in parallel you be at the 600w 100% efficiency. Watching heaps of other solar install when it comes to 3 sometimes makes the efficiency drop alot. Very interested in how you wired that in. Are the mutiplus and multiplus II inverter chargers neutral earth bonded as this seems a grey area with RENOGY Products being centre tapped and not neutral earth bonded. Very interested to know how the CMS work in more detail if you do 240v videos?

Great video. Was the microwave current draw (100ish amps) inclusive of the solar feeding in?

It's great to see your back, mate. Quick question: Where do you buy your battery trays from? Thanks

are you considering the ne multiplu plus 2?

Amazing mate!!! Really have missed your video's. Can I ask what brand of vent you use for the tunnel boot to atmosphere?

Hi Matt, First time commenting on any Utube vid! I have been watching your informative videos and as Jayco eagle owner, I have picked up a lot of tips, I have found a local guy here in Busselton WA, who has a similar outlook to you in regards to honest workmanship and no bs. Thank you and I’m hooked.

Excellent work good to see people proud of what they do you would not get better 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Good to see you back Matt.

Good to see you back Matt.

Really neat work mate. It certainly shows you have pride in your work.

Morning we have just ordered a new van that has a eco flow system do you know much about this 5kw system

If you use one DCDC for two different batteries (car battery and van battery) one might be more depleted than the other (or different overall size). So assuming the DCDC is multistage, it wouldn’t be able to charge both banks at optimum charge rates (electrician here).

Love your work mate! Just a question how did wire up the solar panels in parallel or series?

We have just bought a Jayco journey outback and are wondering what is the best positive air pressure system to fit?

How have you wired the generator to your inverter

Hi Matt, hope you have enjoyed your trip, well deserved. I am rewatching some of your videos about dcdc chargers in caravans, however what I am trying to find info on is the blue trigger wire for the dcdc charger. I don’t see triple Anderson plugs on the back of vehicles or fronts of caravans so I am trying to find out how this works. Obviously new Ranger has a smart alternator. I have a trigger wire to the Redarc bcdc charger in the tub but never thought of having one put in for the Anderson plug for the caravan as currently don’t have a dcdc charger. All the best, Roger. 👍

the batterys are in parellel

Just curious how you extended the cable from the touch 50 cable to get all that way to the bed ?

Heh , I have that exact model bushtracker. Would be keen to get a very similar set up. Can you advise a ball park figure for this system installed

Hey mate I have a brand new van with lithium so I run a anderson plug from start battery to my tow hitch and it doesn't seam to charge my van whilst driving ?? Can you help please

Rarely comment, but as an auto electrician I found this fascinating and just wanted to thank you for the time you have taken to explain and demystify

where can i get a set of these for my camper please

I hope Dane Zeering sees this

Are you using 70mm2 or 95mm2 welding cable for the 12/300/120 inverter?
