We had our Mastervolt system installed by ABC Upfitters in August of 2024 and it has been awesome. We are also among those that will want upgrades such as adding additional solar panels, a second solar controller, and of course an additional 460 Ah Mastervolt lithium battery!...We are taking our Brinkley Z 3100 to Alaska next summer, 2026, and we know that the Mastervolt system will get us through when we are boondocking in the wilderness. ABC Upfitters has been wonderful to work with from the very first email.

Awesome video!! We are so impressed with the work ABC Upfitters did on our 2506s. All through the planning, drawings & install was very professional. We did camp a 1/2 hr away and yep, we tripped the “yellow button” because we spent too much time away from the trailer with the AC running. A quick call to Ben and we were back in business. We are going out west this summer and we’ll even be able to run our electric/propane refrigerator on electric while going down the road.

...and we hope to spend some time with you when you're out in our neck of the woods.

Peggy, we appreciate your time and questions. This off grid power stuff can be a lot to digest. For what it's worth, I'm glad I didn't have any donut dust on my shirt.

We have to schedule "shirt-check" time before each recording!
