I bought my EcoFlow for the same exact reason. I hope people are paying attention. This was worth every penny. I have used mine for everything from cooking to keeping food warm in transport to powering the RV when it in in storage to do maintenance.
In my opinion, it’s a lot easier if you Tap the EcoFlow through your 30amp circuit breaker control panel using additional ATS and you can run all outlets and your air conditioner with your EcoFlow. When you turn on your the AC on your EcoFlow the ATS will transfer power from EcoFlow and bypass your 1000 watts stock inverter.
HI Jay, this is Vincent, the husband. I totally agree with you, Jay, but my wife has not authorized me (or trust me enough) to allow me to cut into the main house wiring for the transfer switch yet. She wants me to learn more about that process before attempting this endeavor. This is on my to do list; and for anyone who is contemplating this project, that is the best route.
@@vincentesq Your wife will probably be mad at you for not convincing her to use a ATS after she realizes how easy it is, lol. It took me a long minute because I overthink some of these projects and make it harder than what it really needs to be, lol. Keep the videos coming and thanks for sharing.
Another great project , you two are amazing ! For husband and wife to do these difficult projects together and remain together is awesome . I’m sure you can wallpaper together also LOL 😂. !!. Im to lazy , I’ll just keep plugging mine Delta Max in to the outside with the 30-15 cord Airstream supplied or maybe add a cord to the main source inside with a switch to keep the Max inside. Keeps the Van batteries fully charged overnight. Need to figure that inside install out first. Vincent you’re the man and kudos to Darlene to get right in there to complete this. Great Job.
You are very kind Kingswood! We do many home projects also and still together for almost 32 years. Lol My husband is also fine doing exactly the way you do it but because of me he had to do all this. 😂😂
Rewatched some of your earlier videos again and at some point we did the same thing,we got a power station instead of spending so much more on lithium, batteries, and all new components we have a 2016 .Works perfectly for us not sure if the idea came from this episode or somewhere else can’t remember so it’s from you guys great job…..
@@lucca783 Thanks for watching Franco 🤗The power station works wonder for what we needed. We were planning to upgrade the inverter and add more lithium batteries but then we found this and it is much easier to install and saved us quite a bit of money, 🤗I am glad it works out for you too 👍
Thank you for sharing this, I have an idea for recharging. Ecoflow has the ability to be charged by 12v directly, what you need to do is connect a 12v source from the battery main switch at the trunk to the ecoflow solar input. Therefore, you don't have to turn on the inverter when driving. and you can control the charging amp with the app, so you don't need to worry about overload.
@jayl1023 I use a Victron Smart Orion 12|24 10 (max 240w). It's some work but I know Bam Bam RV Adventures can do the project based of their previous projects. If I had to do it over again, I would've purchased the Victron Smart Orion 12|12 30 (max 360w) and used the menu options to fine tune the configurations.
@jayl1023 Question about your comment. First, the negative wire would have to be ran somewhere to make it work right? Second, what’s going to stop the house batteries from charging the EcoFlow via the battery main switch which is located in the garage when not driving? I maybe reading your comment incorrectly
Great video again!!!! Darlene, with your electrical expertise , you should be able to shorten the flat extension cord to your liking….. Thank you both!
So impressive! You guys made it look so easy! Thank you for the great video work and going thru the hassle of repeating your work! You made it easy to understand!
Outstanding! Your DIY videos are fun, entertaining and very informative. Incorporating details and explanations makes them easy to follow. I'm so glad that you chose to post this video which was of special interest to me. You two make a great team!
Thank you anh Chị, we got the battery just like your but mine is Delta Max. Look like you installed it during day time and the the time you are done with it it look dark outside :-) This is a very informative video and thank you for taking your time to make the video.
@@peterlondon2217 Definitely! We have a big gas/propane generator at home. I didn’t know how to use it during outage when my husband was out of town. My daughter had to do her homework with candles lights. 😂😂
UPDATE: We also discovered that if we keep the Ecoflow plugged into the outlet, and turn off the inverter while plugged into shore power, it will continue to charge the ecofolow.
Thank you for your video! New AI19 owner who mostly boondocking, is there any way to fit the delta pro in back underneath the bed? also are you happy with your delta2?
@@ThaoTran-vb6dp Congratulations on your new AI19! Have you join the AI19 Facebook group? If the Delta Pro is taller than the Delta 2 then it won’t fit standing up but maybe you could lay it sideways in the middle section of the garage. So far we really like it, my husband also bought an additional Ecoflow battery to connect to this for an additional 200amp. You can connect 2 additional batteries to it.
Would you please explain how many ways you charge the Ecoflow battery. Thanks for sharing! I really like the idea, use the microwave without generator!
Thank you for watching 🤗The quickest way is to plug the van into shore power. The second way is to plug the Ecoflow into inverter outlet while driving but it can only charge about 400 watts. The third way is to connect the Ecoflow to shore power.
@@BamBamRVAdventures Thank you for replying my question. When you plug ecoflow into inverter outlet, is it getting the power from lithium batteries? Thanks!
I guess I am not understanding why you wouldn't just plug your camper into the Eco Flow to use the micro wave for a short period of time for what ever reason, then unplug it when done heating your food. Why are you making this more complicated than it needs to be? ( I do not see a benefit to running all the wires through the coach. )
@@GabrielSBarbaraS Hi Gabriel, thanks for watching. Originally my husband wanted to just use the extension cord to plug into the Ecoflow and plug into whatever appliances we want to use then unplug. That is the easiest way but of course I always have to make things more complicated for him. 😂😂 I didn’t want to see the extension cord while using the appliances so I asked him if we could run the extension cords through the coach and just hide them behind the outlets. Happy wife happy life. 🤗🤗
