    Very cool you guys I would love to get a fifth wheel I have the truck for it we have a passport 268BH but not big enough for me it’s not bad but the bunk house takes up to much room

    Thanks for this vid. We are getting ready to purchase a travel trailer and will be going full Nomad in a few months. I am going to upgrade the solar on whatever we buy so that we can spend weeks off grid at a time. This is quite helpful. Thank you.

    Great video you just popped up today (10-20-22) and I like it when I see other people from Wisconsin. Going to go and watch some more videos Thanks From Wisconsin

    Enjoy your videos thank you. I want to upgrade my 5th wheel solar setup... it's kind of the same setup as yours before you up graded. Maybe at some point the cost is slowing me down. Bought a 300Ah lithium battery next more panels little bit by little bit I'll get there. Anyhow be safe have fun. Maybe one day our paths will cross. Happy RVing!!!

    Other than money, any reason you chose the Renogy over the Victron?

  • @chriswilcox4993

    What is the transfer switch you speak of.....any recommendations? Which one are you using? thanks!!

  • @davecarlify

    Did you upgrade the wiring from the junction box to the solar controller when you added panels?

    Notes you don't have a DC to dc Isolator inline. Great video.

      Nope 🥲 hopefully it’s an upgrade in the near future!

  • @emseyllc9608
    @emseyllc9608 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have the same trailer and I want to do this. Here’s my concern…How much weight did this add to the total for the trailer and the pin? Are you now overweight with your payload?

    Is this possible even if you have a older rv that wasn't set up with solar previously.

    • @MikeAsh
      @MikeAsh  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes! It might be a little more work but still possible

    Well was wondering how long it be before you upgraded campers would you be able to help me and others with a list of what Components you used for your system?

  • @guttermastersplus5613

    Can you run your air condition off your solar outwest it probably won't be able to keep up with it the heat and the air condition

    Inspiring

  • @hydrohybrid4206
    @hydrohybrid4206 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your still gonna need more batteries. I have 900ah lifepo4 could use another 300Ah. 1200Ah is the magic number.

    I think you meant to say AC power coming from the ATS. Great video though.

    Nice job on the solar.? Did you have to do anything with the truck plug as far as charging going down the road.

  • @GrimaldisOnTour
    @GrimaldisOnTour ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the video. I have been searching youtube high and low for someone who did an install with the Keystone inverter loop. I have several questions on how you accomplished this setup. Is this the right place to ask?

  • @weoutwest
    @weoutwest 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video. 👍 Question: What transfer switch are you using? Also, what is the switch box next to the batteries?

  • @Momandsonrv

    Nice simple install! y’all just popped up in my feed this morning for the first time. Subscribed now 👍🏻 “solar” makes rv life so much better! The Solar panels are great but it’s really the batteries that are the heart of the system. I’ve been using EnduroPower batteries for a year or so and they have been amazing, they are definitely an “investment” for sure. But so worth it! Hopefully on your next upgrade you can toss that renogy inverter and replace it with a Victron multiplus😎

    • @MikeAsh
      @MikeAsh  ปีที่แล้ว

      We love our solar set up + Enduro Power batteries, glad to hear you do too! Safe travels!!

    Can using the right word washio she's happy now

  • @melodygrandinetti5016
    @melodygrandinetti5016 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is there a reason why you used a 2000 inverter instead of 3000.

    • @MikeAsh
      @MikeAsh  ปีที่แล้ว

      It was an affordable inverter that gave us more than enough power for what we need at the moment. We are not set up to run our AC off the inverter, so no need to go bigger yet.

    It's like this my dad always said by the bathroom I pay more but it might not last long time because if you find someone cheap 9 out of 10 like he's always said in my last for free or 6 months in then it's going to quit work and then there goes our money me up by someone again waste money nor word is Best buy the best long run have a good day I got a one more quick I got a question for this one can you run in Berry's dead and you know last or whatever and how does it bury work that's why I'm trying to ask okay thank you
