@justfollowthatvan6721 Very Disappointing to new 2025 LTV Owners for sure. Plus they are finding themselves stranded when they run it down to 0, not understanding they must be jumped like engine batteries in order to be able to take a charge.

@@SSTraveler-Sandy I wish LTV would get it together with their electrical systems. They do such an awesome job on everything else like build quality, etc. Just don’t know why they keep going with such sub-par electrical systems🤷🏼‍♀️

@s.mendez7160 Thanks, but I've got a system that works for me and have been doing it for years. I agree hand injuries can have serious lifetime consequences.

@s.mendez7160 Yes it does, the L setting. It has defaults based on the battery current setting, or you can customize it. I love the Kisae, I wish I would have used it vs the Victron. The Kisae is reliable, trouble free and never overheats. The Victron Orion-XS isn't worth att the effort get it as reliable as the Kisae is out of the box!

@@SSTraveler-Sandy So the custom settings can be programmed all from the face of the unit, I don't need a remote unit like the EP Ever chargers? Yeah, the Victron DC/DC units warm up when they approach their rated capacity. Kinda sucks. Thanks for your replies.

@s.mendez7160 I do wish I would have gone dual Kisae's, but the fan solved the Victron cooling. Now my seat box stays around 100°, not an issue for either Kisae or Victron. Yes the Kisae settings are set on the face display. There is a remote you can buy, but it isn't required.

@@SSTraveler-Sandy I was looking at the spec sheet for the Kisae, and noticed in custom mode the minimum "re-start voltage" is a fixed setting of 12.5V or a little over 15% SOC. Would be cool if that was adjustable...

@s.mendez7160 It also restarts everytime you turn the ignition off and on if you add the ignition controlled isolator relay I recommend on the chassis battery side.

@@AS-pq3hu I used this one, www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09SCWWSLH?

The man I mentioned previously who ran the MEGA FUSE TESTS; KZbin channel is named: "Cleaversolarpower by Nick" and they're "MEGA Fuses" tested, the kind I've been ordering cheap off Amazon previously (mostly BOJACK branded ones unfortunately). As of this writing (9/23/2024) "supposedly genuine" Victron MEGA fuses can be had from several vendors at typically "5 for around $22". (This didn't USED to be so) A good deal if they're actually manufactured by Littlefuse. Or at least approved by Victron in some way. Mine are coming from "Inverters-R-Us" as I sort of trust that seller. I've bought a lot of stuff from them both on and off (directly from their website) of Amazon with no problems. They ship from Reno, NV. Which is quick to me in S. California. That's always nice! Good Luck, And Safe Travels!

@Jim_V. A fire isn't a possibility at 140°F, which is the highest temperature I saw the Orion-XS get. When I install things, I test them and observe them so I can learn and modify my approach if necessary. You have to have the knowledge, skill, and ability to understand the engineering behind the written words of a manual. Victron does say to mount their products vertically because that gives the best chance for heat to rise from their products. However, mounting things vertically isn't always possible, which is why Victron advises forced air flow cooling. So you can mount them horizontally if you increase air flow and ventilation. I had increased the ventilation of my seat base, which has kept my Kisae DC-DC charger operating below 100°F. So adding forced cooling with a fan has greatly improved the Orion-XS performance, and it's now staying below about 110°F. The heat produced by a single Orion-XS probably would have been acceptable, but it was impacting my Kisae DC-DC charger operation, and I couldn't have that. Now, using knock-off fuses and circuit breakers does set you up for a possible fire. Lots of people doing these upgrades for some reason cheap out when it comes to fuses and circuit breakers. I only use name brand fuses, Blue Sea, Littelfuse, Buss, Bussman, and Eaton. Victron fuses seem really cheaply made, and they have no markings on them as to who the manufacturer is, so I refuse to use Victron fuses. If you use knock off fuses, it begs the question of what other knock-off stuff you have in your electrical system. That's a scary thought from an electrical safety perspective. You probably need your "Wish for Luck and Best Safety" more than me. It sounds like you might have been lucky finding your knock-off fuse problem in time. I would take a heat gun to all your electrical connections and verify you don't have any other surprises lurking.

@@SSTraveler-Sandy Heat gun check everything always and over build too. I don't mind spending extra money for quality. Would a 4 year in Theoretical Physics suffice? You're talking thermal radiation via air vs, thermal conduction through metal inside the XS. The longevity of the XS may suffer some but I agree I wouldn't worry about the difference. No Littlefuse manufactures Victron fuses. The only question is might "these" Victrons be faked. I bought supposed Littlefuse brand before at top market value. Those had no markings either. But you're right I buckled to the "Bojacks" simply because of the vast number of positive reviews. Can't trust reviews apparently no matter how many people vouch for a product. Blue Sea gouges on price of Bussman product same as Bussman themselves. A fuse isn't a terribly complex metal quality nor expensive piece of to manufacture. But I suppose if they make endless millions per year there's always someone wanting to capture the market through lowest price. It's really a commentary on how poorly the legal system functions as any check on the market and the difficulty of suing for damages, or even lives. But I suppose there's very little reach to everything being produced in China for several decades now. I would imagine even the more reputable names actually produce in China too. It's just they probably sample better for quality control. Yet it's noteworthy at least 2 cheap Chinese brands performed just fine in that man's sample size of n = 1. But, of course that applied to Bojack also. You wouldn't think any company would produce crappy fuses, yet of course some do. I just spent $70 for a simple main breaker a couple weeks ago by Blue Sea. It was the only one with the type of finger switch and rating so I absorbed the soaking. Yeah, paper even takes 451° F so no worries in your setup. I'm considering similar fans in an effort to maximize efficiency after once again reviewing Victron's advisory again. But seriously people and or companies need to be held accountable for something so vital as proper fuses and potential for loss of life. I suppose I over trusted "Bojack" as they simply "appear as" an American run company. I truly hated forking out $70 for that breaker. Nevertheless, the market bares it. And ya gotta pay to play.

@EngineerK This Winnebago is using an isolator solenoid to charge the house battery from the alternator when driving. It's okay to use the isolator solenoid if that's what you want to do when the Lithium battery has a 100a BMS.

@@SSTraveler-Sandy Do a bit of research on this and make sure you are happy with doing this. I personally prefer DC-DC charger as the charge currents can be controlled so that the alternator isn't overloaded/overheated. Also, if the BMS shuts down, its possible to blow the diodes on the alternator. I've done quite a bit of reading and its not clear if this is strictly a no-no. Cheers

@EngineerK My real world experience has shown this installation works fine with the Mercedes Sprinter 220a alternators. I also have been very successful using dual 50a DC-DC chargers with this alternator as well. Research and Theory only take you so far. Application demonstrates practically. It sounds like you might have analysis paralysis.

@jayschmidt8300 The CIGS are performing better than my 5 year old Renogy Glass panels. I think the highest output I've seen on the CIGS is 216w and on my 400w Renogy Glass panels only 356w. The CIGS panel definitely outperforms all 40pw of the Renogy panels in partial shade. I really like the CIGS panel!

@@SSTraveler-Sandy thanks Sandy, just did the boss 302 and the kissae in my Serenity, 2018, everything is located below the front couch, I will send a picture soon of the install. I cannot thank you enough, without your videos I would not have attempted this mod! The great thing is I have room for a second 302 in parallel, first I need to upgrade the solar, spend 3 months this winter off grid and see if I need a second 302. YOUR GREAT KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING!

@fredzuccarelli Yes I am, I really like how efficient it uses less than 90a off battery and 3000w inverter. 25% less than the Truma Aventa LTV is using on newer models, The Atmos has a heat pump, whereas the Truma doesn't.

@eedom69 I have all the major parts with links in the Description. Click on the video title when watching to show it.

@@SSTraveler-Sandy How do you clean those cigs panels? You did the double tape eterna bond around the edges and the stock tape underneath? I was thinking of doing that but once I do it's there forever probably

@eedom69 Just soap and water to clean. I wash my roof and solar panels every spring to start the season and don't go on the roof again. The solar panels just stay clean from rain. I do go to Blue Beacon Truck Washes and their system does clean the roof a little. So that's all I do. Yes I figure everything is up their permanently, but Eternabond tape can be removed and the roof cleaned with a lot of elbow grease.

@@SSTraveler-Sandy oh that’s a shame Thanks for. The info

@@edhickl205 I carry some hinge material as well, just in case when I travel. I'll do a hinge replacement video next time I have to replace one of my compartment hinges.

@stephenbaldassano3788 Sure it does, actually better off the generator because the SoftStartRV reduces the big amp spike in rush current of the Truma compressor start. If you're having trouble like that I'd say your SoftStartRV is installed correctly.

@fredzuccarelli No the RL was my first and last. But on the MBL you can use the LTV solar wiring hole, which is near the microwave. Or just drill a new hole as I do in this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnqklX6Gat2ga9U. I find anymore it's easier just to drill a new hole in the roof to make things easier.

@fredzuccarelli With a Lithionics battery and a 2020 or newer LTV you don't have to change anything. You can reuse the inverter and battery cables and 250a inverter Mega Fuse in the battery box. upgrading to a Lithionics battery and 3000w inverter is a simple swap out of current batteries and 2000w inverter. A Lithionics battery is the most advanced and powerful battery you can buy plus with it's NeverDie Reserve it will never leave you stranded with a dead battery likecthe other brands will. From a DIY perspective a Lithionics battery makes for the easiest and more cost effective upgrade when you consider alk the extra knowledge, skill and labor required for others. A Lithionics battery also out performs morecthan 400a of the others. So You're not really saving anything by going with a different brand. in the end your going to spend more money and time trying to make something that seems less expensive work. Then to be disappointed with the other battery lack luster performance and to be left stranded when you accidentally completely discharged it. I see LTV folks installing Epoch, just make sure you replace all your inverter battery cables and coach battery cables with larger 4/0 awg as Epoch and Xantrex recommend. You could continue to use the 250a inverter Mega Fuse. If you want to go larger then you must use a new fuse and fuse holder, because the LTV Battery box Mega fuse block is only rated for 300a total combined fuse load. so it's 250a inverter fuse is already maxing out the 5 position fuse block given the sizes of the other fuses.

@@larrylapierre3433 Not for a Dometic Penguin ll.

@rvtipsandbitsneverstoplear3895 That's how the control box has to be installed on what's called the dump and duct system. I have it in my 2014 Unity. The old Dometic system ducting and air return is re-used with the Atmos installation. It has to be that way. Installers could just re-use your old Dometic air return/filter cover, but SDG includes the actual Dometic flat panel return cover for a nicer look and better fit. Tryst me re-using the old Dometic cover looks really bad. This is just the way the installation must go in the older LTVs.

@@SSTraveler-Sandy yup, ours is actually an Ekko. we did get it to work fine, had to maneuver a little and thinking the control box if it was just a little smaller but all good and we love the unit...can't believe how much more efficient it is! really saves the batteries! thanks, enjoyed your videos

@BKHMD44 The 2/0 awg cables LTV uses for the battery and inverter connections are the correct size only if you use Lithionics batteries. 2/0 awg cable is also recommended by Lithionics to wire multiple batteries in parallel to bus bars. If you use any other brand Lithium batteries, then you must replace the cables and increase their size to 4/0 awg.

@BKHMD44 Only Lithionics battery recommends 2/0 all other Lithium battery brands require 4/0 will a 3000w inverter and Xantrex recommends 4/0 cable.

@@SSTraveler-Sandy Sorry, I asked that wrong. Can I safely use the existing 2000 watt xantrex with 2/0 cables to run the Truma Eco air conditioner with soft start. I want to add more battery, but would like to keep the existing inverter.

@hike9924 In my opinion the 2000w inverter is really inadequate, but its probably okay if your just using it for 30 minutes, short periods, here and there to run the Truma. In high summer temperatures you're really overloading inverter, batteries, and Truma because everything has to work harder. There's more resistance to overcome, which the 2000w inverter and batteries aren't able to do in high temperatures. Then the Truma has to run harder, which isn't good for any of them.

@dankohlhaas6845 If you have a 2022 or older LTV, one that has a Sterling DC-DC charger or an isolator solenoid then you can put the 18a Orion-Tr Chassis Battery charger under the passenger seat. Look through my videos I have a number of them where I installed the Xantrex ECHO-Charge under the passenger seat, the Orion-Tr can be installed using the same 3 wire setup as I use with the Xantrex ECHO charger. Here is one for the Orion-Tr, kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4vMmYuHoNBrirs.

@fredzuccarelli Congratulations on gettingan LTV! I'm glad to be helpful.
