    I have had the predator 3500, my lithium batteries, and my solar for a couple years now. I was looking for ways to make it easier and more automated to use. I had decided to run a cord from the back of the camper to the front, so that I wouldn't need to run the main outdoor power cable anymore. I also wanted to add a larger inverter so that I can run the microwave, hair dryer, or TV without having to run an extension cord to the one outlet that I had for my modified sine wave inverter for my cpap. This is going to make off grid camping much better in my opinion. The generator is also easier to use as there is a short cord that stays near the generator and only has to be plugged in.

    Anytime you fish wire when you pull your new wire go ahead and pull a PC of paracord or small line with it. That way if you ever need to pull for anything else you already have a feeder line in place.

    Great vid. I’m doing a very similar setup and glad I found your install.

      Overall I’ve been happy with it but I do wish I used a 3000 watt inverter

    good idea leaving extra wire in case you have to remove it. I'm with you on making things easy.

    I just ran a 12gag extension from the inverter to the rear of the RV and plugged it like normal with the conversion adapter. Yes I still need to shut off the bigger draws Ac, Fire place and the microwave. But it works like a charm
    thanks for the video

    Ok thank you so much for this video!! I plan to put solar on my 40’ Open Range but I currently have an onboard generator, and I even have an inverter to power the residential fridge while I’m driving, but I’ll need to purchase a larger inverter to power the rest of the rv. I figured there was a way to work around buying all sorts of expensive devices and switches. But I haven’t found a video that explains it like you do. New subscriber!!

    On your next gen setup, maybe try finding an inverter with an A/C input, then drive that with a Genset. No transfer switch necessary, and also you can save quite a bit of fuel in the Genset. The A/C input would drive the loads for the camper and also charge your batteries at the same time. Happy Camping !

    I’ve always wondered how one would fish the wires in a rig. You did a great job explaining it. This was quite the project! How much time did it take you to set it all up?

    I'm in the same boat trying to figure things out I'm adding a complete solar system to my slide in truck camper. And I was wondering how to use the RVs existing system I was wondering if I could any field system in place which had an AGM battery. And then add solar with lithium on the side. I just wish I had a better idea on how to connect the new transfer switch to the existing.

    • @GimpyCamper
      @GimpyCamper  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think it would be better to replace the AGM and only have one type of battery. It should be possible with a battery selector but your charging parameters are different for the two types of batteries. Just asking for headaches I think. I’d also go for some type of manual switch as that’s the main problem I’ve ran into is the transfer switch failing out when a heavy load is applied

    What model inverter did you use?

      The 2000 watt Renogy pure sine. Part of me wishes I would have just bit the bullet for a victron multiplus though

      @@GimpyCamper I would really prefer an integrated transfer switch in the inverter that would support my 4k gas generator.

    99% of the CPAPs out there are 12v, just instal 12v outlets in the camper.

    • @GimpyCamper
      @GimpyCamper  ปีที่แล้ว

      And 98% of those want way too much for the 12 volt adapter plug, but yes, I have one now
