Great video on your 1st year of full time RV living. Boon docking is not in our future but, I do love all of your informative videos. We have the same RV 2022 Model. Based on your videos, I switched from 2 LA batteries to 2 LI batteries. I had to mess around with the Victron Solar MPPT and get it to the correct setting. LI battery weight compared to those LA batteries is amazing. I also started watching your fishing videos and enjoy them as well.
@@davesauerzopf6980 can never have to much power! Glad your enjoying the fishing too , thanks for the support!

That is the base oil you can use synthetic oil 5w30 . I use wix Xp filter and 5w30 ultra platinum pennzoil. Just keep your receipt s and don’t go over five thousand on oil change.
My first mod every time is vent visors, so I can leave my windows cracked in the summer. Also nice for driving in the rain and letting in that fresh air.
If I am building a truck camper and going to upgrade suspension to something more off road from Carli than the need to tow or haul a heavy load. Should I go with 250 since changing suspension anyway?
@@Mcknido_ i would buy the truck that is rated for the weight you want to carry.
Really helpful... though it's a shame they don't make something all in one box. The charger/solar charger/inverter etc. so all you do is connect the battery and solar.
@@lliaolsen728 a lot of companies do make them but the fact that Victron doesn’t is the best part because its expandable.

If the sticker on my chevy 2500 says I can bumper pull a 12,000 pound trailer when other 2500's can do 18,500 pounds because I have mud terrain tires and those others have all terrain tires, if I switch my tires out to all terrain I should be okay to theoretically tow an 18,500 trailer right? That's the only thing different I was able to find between my truck and other 2500s
@@M-zn8uh I would not tow more than what the manufacturers rating for that vehicle is.
Just watch Lake speed juniors videos about oil.👍🏽
Tailgate electric lock works when you lock or unlock the doors. A quick release for the rear seats, and Rear Wheel Well Guards in the wheel wells to keep mud and debris out of the wheel well. Also, glue on anti-scratch pads for the rocker panel inside the doors protects the painted area when you enter or exit the truck. I also did a DIY for the remote start, bought an OEM antenna from Amazon, installed it behind the glove box, (wire is already there from the factory) took the truck to a dealer, bought a remote start key, had the dealer configure the computer to the remote start key, and away I go. That ran about $200-$250.
I have a 2024 3/4 gmc 3360 payload 20,000 towing with a Duramax. I do have the max tow package which actually makes it a 1 ton.
Great video. It looks like your fifth wheel is the same one as ours … 2021 cougar. I am about to replace the valve on our black tank so I am wondering if we should order the same valve.
@@foxtrotdad probably, our os. 2020 Cougar 315rls. I believe i left a link in the description for the valve.

Just wanted to say...I have this same exact setup...(MultiPlus 2 120 X 2 50 amp)... but in a "12 volt" parallel system on my fifth wheel...and contrary to popular belief, it works perfectly!...and the 4/0 gauge DC wiring does not get too hot...(warm to the touch)...even on a 95 degree day with both roof ac's running...I have eight 300ah batteries hooked in parallel for a total of 2400ahs....I also have 2000 watts of solar....and an on board 3500 watt generator...Just needed to make a shout out for us 12 volt RV fans...and no conversion to 12 volt necessary... :0)

@@alwolf748 🤣😂
Payload is a regulatory rating. Don't you think its odd until recently all 3/4 tons had a 10000 GCWR? RAWR is what you need to be concerned with. I base everything I can haul/tow on the RAWR, not payload rating.
Just completed my install of this same system, and all it did was make me buy 5 thousand dollars of more batteries!...because it does run 2 roof airs, but MAN, it sucks down the batteries in no time...I'm talking real world when its 95 degrees out!

Good job! Nice to watch this video including your human error. Do not edit them away in the future too.
We are a lot the same. "Get the job done" and it will perform as well as the guys who are still worrying about are the panels inline, square to 1mm. Enjoy the extra recharge power you earned it installing on a hot day.
You were supposed to use Romex cable like the kind the factory used inside your rig to run to your inverter...the bigger solid strands are safer and I assume required...plus you should have installed a junction box in there and not simply twisted the 2 different kinds of strands together...(not the safest).
@@chuckken3438 nope

4200 watt pv I can run 1 rooftop ac and charge bank with 20-25 amps on good sunny day.I’m installing a 38 seer mini split 9k Btu 230v.So now my 120/240v inverter should run 120v rooftop and 230v mini.I hope! I didn’t know the 6k inverter would only put out 1/2 power at 120v when I bought it.😮
@@2hotscottpro The idea of that 6k inverter is to use it on a 50a RV using one leg (the black wire) to power 1/2 your circuit breaker box and the other 120v leg (the red wire) to power the other half, giving you 3,000 watts per side. Yes, you can connect red and black to get 240v out of it for your mini split. My 12k, 28.5 Seer-2, 120v EG-4 mini split only draws about 1/3 what my 14.5k Furrion rooftop does, so your 9k unit will only draw perhaps 1/4 of what your rooftop uses. You won't even know it's running. My MH came from the factory as a 30a RV but had been rewired to a 50a when I bought it. I use a 5,000w inverter with only one hot leg, so I just connected both red and black power wires together leading to my circuit breaker box to the single 6awg (45a) black wire exiting the inverter. Since the existing wires are also 6awg and big enough for 50a per leg there's no danger of overloading any circuit. The downside is I had to disable the red wire on my 50a power cord as it enters the transfer switch, just like a 30a adapter does so if I ever plug into a 50a pedestal again (doubtful) I can only get 50a total out of it, not 50a per leg. However, this is more than I will ever need as I have been living off grid on 45a for the last 19 months with no problems.
I have a ‘19 F-250 6.2L 3.73 axles. Average 11-12mpg mixed driving. Best I ever got on a long highway drive was 15. Will occasionally get 10 or less when running short distances and/or hauling heavy. Also installed a dump insert into the bed 3 years ago.

Have you found the dual 3000's are sufficient for your 50 Amp rig? I have a 3000 mulltiplus in my current 30amp rig, but we're moving to a 50amp diesel pusher and I've been trying to figure out the best option. I really wish Victron has a 120x2 in a 5000va 48v Battery configuration. Great video btw! I love those dinkle wiring blocks.
@@liamgray9113 your going to get 4,800 watt consistent use from two 3000va in parallel but only 4,000 watts of consistent use from a 5000va inverter. The 3000va parallel can run 4,800 watts all day long but can surge up to 6,000 watts (50amps) when need be for short periods. The 5,000va is max 41amps. Two A/C’s, TV, Frig, internet, lights, all runnning we use about 3,200 watts, so we can run one other big thing like hair dryer, coffee pot, microwave before we start getting to the overload range.
@@saltytrips I think im going to bite the bullet and do two 48v5000's. Now I'm trying to find the magic combo to get over 6kw on 40' of roof :-)
@@liamgray9113 would love to see that build when its done , take lots of pic and video.
I have same Victron Multiplus II setup but the 48v system. Can only push 20 amps max in parallel. So, only like 2300 watts on each leg.
@@mikefranks4528 can’t be the same because Victron doesn’t make a 2x120 in 48v. Thats why we went 24v. In the manual the 48v system says continuous output should be 2400w just like ours.

That sounds good for car tires, but I seriously doubt that it could air up 95psi motorhome tires - not even one at a time. It might go from 90psi to 95 psi in 10 minutes, but that's about it. If they made an upgraded one rated for motorhome/18wheeler tires I'd consider it. Right now, I use one similar to the Viair that you set the pressure, and it turns off automatically, but its only good for about 80-95psi on one motorhome tire before it overheats and shuts down and you have to wait 20 minutes for it to cool down. They say it has a 100% duty cycle, but it does not. This is the one I use that is barely adequate for my needs. www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9LZJ9VY What I really need is a Viair 450P-RV, which is over $300.
I run a 10k BTU window AC , it only uses 350 watts about. Cools down my 34 foot trailer nice. If i had to do a rooftop or add another AC I would most likely add a mini split.
