Great video, I've done a similar upgrade in our 2015 caravan, I was hoping you were going remove the panel you mppt was installed to see how it's done, I have to do this in mine but can't see an easy way to access the area without. Putting holes in it. Did you have any ideas from when you were initially going to do it in yours?

@@JeremyGoodeve cheers mate, there were screws holding the panel in on both sides through the cupboard next to it and behind our concertina door... it was very messy behind there thats for sure 🤢🤢 the main reason we changed it out was our AGM batteries were cooked, over used and not designed for our load requirements..... but we got a good 12 months out of them 🤪🤪

Hi Marc, very useful explanation thank you. I plan to do the exact swap over as you’ve just done, the only thing different is that I need to add an inverter as my system doesn’t have one. How difficult is it to add an inverter to my system? How many new cables will need to be ran? Cheers
@DucruznOZ
@DucruznOZ 19 күн бұрын
@@MichaelHargrave-h1r cheers for that mate 🍻 it really depends on where your batteries are compared to your inverter (shortest distance is usually the best or a really large gauge cabling is required) and also depends on how you want it wired up. Ours is hooked up to a 3 way switch that allows all of the power points in the van to be "live/active" when the inverter is switched on.... alternatively you can just have the one PowerPoint that comes off the inverter and have to run extension leads/power boards etc.... because we had it fitted during the build it was much easier to run the cables for the 3 way switch. A 240v sparky will be the person to talk to in regards to that though.... good luck with the install and hope that helps 🍻🍻

Great video! Likewise I always tow in S4 and monitor transmission temp with a ScanGauge. I keep revs at between 2300 and 2600 regardless of road speed using the gearbox as a clutchless manual. I tow a 3tonne van. Recently I was driving outback in western NSW. Road was rubbish and speed was on average about 55km/h and I was towing mostly in S3. The interesting thing was that my fuel economy was the best I have ever achieved whilst towing, 20.7 l/100km. Could not believe it. Usually I am getting 22 to 24l/100km.

I don't understand why anyone would have an issue with trying to judge distances with looking at the bottom mirror on the Clear views, technically it's called a spotter mirror, it's deliberately convex to enable you to see anything that would normally be a blind spot like the lane next to you (more helpful on a left mirror) it's not designed to be used to reverse. The MSA mirror seems to be roughly the same size as the CV main mirror without the spotter mirror so obviously without the extra mirror it would miss any body panel when folded in. On the subject of either mirror being folded in, tho the MSA seems it wouldn't make contact with the body of the car, if it is given a hard enough whack, instead of hitting a solid panel it would put the window at potential risk of being shattered. There really is no saying one is better than the other, they are both excellent mirrors for towing with one having less of a safety advantage of seeing the blind spot. What I would like to see the manufacturers add in either mirror is an electric fold as I have in my Jackaroo and an electric 2 stage extension, even though it would make them somewhat slightly more expensive, the simple convenience of not having to exist your vehicle or needing someone to physically fold or pull in the mirrors every time you get to a narrow part of a track would be a godsend. Also your CV's have a 3-year Manufacturer’s Warranty so you could've tried claiming the paint issue on warrantee.
@DucruznOZ
@DucruznOZ 7 ай бұрын
Definitely a matter of personal preference, but the msa doesn't hit the window when folded back.... also the CV are over 3 years old so the warranty was not available.... it is more a preference thing of what people prefer so there is no right or wrong answer as to what is better/easier to use... this was just my findings 🍻
