Great review. Not everyone can afford a 2nd hand Honda, let alone a new one. So good to have cheap options out there for those that wont use it alot.

Good review mate- thanks ☺️ I would love to know if you have tested the actual run time you get on each with the fuel capacity they have ? Or how much fuel per hour on full load/ charge ? Be interesting to know Cheers 🍻

You should be using a 400A fuse for a Renogy 3000w inverter...that's whats on mine.....that's what they recommend. The rest of what you have done is perfect.

I don't know much about diesel, diesel engines or heaters, but smoke that is white usually indicates water - possibly water in the diesel? I understand water can be condensate from within the tank. If so, you might be able to install a water filter for this.

Good content, I'd try changing the pipe from heater to muffler to an "solid" pipe like you have after the muffler. Just to see if it silences the flame sound.

i got super cheap one and it has always works been 3yrs i live high up so always on reduce fuel setting . i do run diesel kleen

Problem with the Honda is it's a prime target for druggies.

👍🏼

Well done for giving it a shot 👏👍 They were telling me when you run your heater for a short time,you should put it on the highest setting for 5 to 8 minutes to burn 🔥 any rubbish in the system.

What model is your changeover switch

Did you put the factory seal between the heater and the steel mounting plate?

Pretty sure the Kings one is a Gentrax with kings cover on it, is what other brands have done with the gentrax 800. Thanks for the vid tho mate

Hey Great Vid & thanks for sharing! I'm looking at doing the same with my Supreme and agree the wiring is terrible. Do you have any concerns having the battery located where its not fully water proof?

Hey muddy. Not seen where you storage box is maybe one above the battery tray into the van? I have a vivid cross like an urban haze and had 2 boxes for agm outside like that and a spaghetti junction of wiring with multiple terminals like that. Don't know how caravan companies can get away doing that multiple power leads into one terminal. Dodgy as. Great idea to take back inside the positive wires for the loads and run a fuse box inside the van if you have an opening above those batteries then you can have each individual circuit. Enjoy your new power.. ❤

Hi ! A Great video, Just one question, do you have a smart shunt in your system. These work like a fuel guage in your car. These are the only thing that will tell you the remaing capacity in your lithium battery. They can also tell of the terminal voltage, the current that is going into and out of battery, time left to discharge as a percentage, I have used a Victron smart shunt and a bonus is that it ( along with other victron devises ) blue toothed to my phone.

That was an awesome video, saved to favourites for when I do my install. Thank you

Hi mate did you put the pump on an angle from the tank so the diesel runs straight into the pump rather than the other way

Is 200A fuse enough for a 3000w inverter? What would you recommend for a 2500w inverter?

Gday muddy. Neat install.❤ Have you adjusted your Inverter setup/RCD since you made the video? Watching vandercampadventures on KZbin a switch contactor is needed for N-E bonding when 240v output supplied from inverter (not on hook up) only then will the RCD function on AC output and protect you. Part of the new regs from Nov 23 apparently. I think the AU regs are similar to the UK with talking to a local sparky. The renogy units already have an automatic change over switch inside the unit..

How did this inverter hold up?

Subbed Are you in Vic. BTW supercheap have the fuel line now made of rubber at $8 per meter

Did you put the o ring on the inside or outside or both in the fuel tank?

The RCD will not trip on inverter, a Residual Voltage Device such as an RCD DUO will have to replace the RCD. Works on a rise of 40 volts on the earth.

Thanks for the review. A great insight into each.

Just installed mine, thanks for your tutorial. I'm getting heat at the fuse and isolator terminals, is that normal?

Hey mate! Where are you based?

I am planning out my 3k inverter. All the info said I need a 400a breaker and 4/0 awg wire. Am I wrong ?

The new lcc27 bottles, gas doesnt come out if the tap is open unless the hose is connected! I thought that was a cool feature i found out today and when you mentioned gas shooting out if the tap was open i thought id share my find 😊 2:15

Thanks mate great info. What kind of draw does it have on the batteries under opperation?

How’s the DC Mont going

Hi there Why do you need an isolator switch as well as a resettable fuse, if you want to isolate the inverter couldn't you just switch the fuse of and reset it when you want to operate the inverter again ?

Why did you unnecessarily double isolate the positive cable? You could just isolate it with the test switch on the fuse

Well thought out design. 👍

Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Ps: Did I imagine it or did I actually see a RedVision system? If so, maybe you should have spent the money on LifePo4 batteries instead of the Redarc unit

Battery life?

It's a shame that they haven't sorted something so you don't have to grind the old jockey wheel off. I have the same problem and don't think I will be getting one.

Hi mate, what sort if heat you getting from the pump just curious, running off the standard garden hose.

If you look or check around u can buy them for around $100 bucks.

Great vid Who did you get to certify the 240v electrical work ? From what I understand you can do 12v wiring and you can plug an extension cord into the invertor but as soon as you start cutting cables that run 240v this work needs to be done and/or certified by a licence electrician ??

hey mate great review - Im looking at the Dewalt range - would love to see a review on the 2.2kVA and the 3.6kVA - 3 year warranty

can you run the fridge on 12v with the inverter on? I only plan on using 240 for cooking woth an induction top and hot water, after that would switch back to 12v to save on using gas

Hi Muddy, Do you need to attach an earth wire to the inverter? Trying to work it out and what size wire. Cheers

The kings 2.2kva generator doesn't not run my caravan Houghton Belaire H3200 air conditioner without the generator going into overload with no other load from appliances or DC charger on.

At least put the Honda in eco mode makes it soo much quieter

Like your video. Looking at doing the same Renogy 300W inverter. A couple of questions please; 1 What size cable did you use? 2. is the battery isolator and the circuit breaker needed - could you just manually trip the circuit breaker to isolate 3. You used a 200amp breaker. Renogy suggests 400amp for the 3000W model. Any specific reason. Thank again

Price

This looks great! We took delivery of our Leader Double Door a couple of months ago and love it but we definitely want shelving like this! Can I ask what the shelves are resting on? The metal plate looking things? I’m going to head to Bunnings and attempt to make this myself haha ☺️

Good job. I've got the Houghton Belaire HB3400 in my van which looks similar to what you have? If so the Kings 2.0 kVa will run this? Pretty much want a Generator that can run the AC, coffee machine in the morning and the out door TV when required. Plan is to only run the AC in the PM before bed if it's a warm one. Won't get used much at all hence why I'm looking at the Kinsg. Fridge runs on gas so that's a bonus. Cheers

Very good video , Thankyou
