EGON DC-Hub vs Redvision

[@user-rv6zk1pp7r]

Well done gentlemen. I love Heiner’s work, he and his team are craftsmen. I wasn’t convinced by your product initially but I wish now your product had been available when I was undertaking my 76 series build. I prefer to do my own wiring so I can troubleshoot it myself. I did end up installing a PDP power distribution system but I’ve been disappointed in it (quality & install instructions great, only does half of what i needed it to do). My experience over thirty years in the bush (initially with the ADF then 25 years in the resources sector) is simple is best. Electronics are great when they work but electrics are more survivable in the field. They are the weak point in modern vehicles, even when professionally installed/factory. My mechanic also works at the Olympic Dam mine & said they get 8-10000 hours out of a 1HZ powered Landcruiser yet only 5000 out of a 1VDJ v8 due to the wiring failing in the humidity & crap found underground (which is why BHP has had delivered a fleet of 1HZ powered Landcruisers in the current body). Anyway, I feel your products offer an alternative that didn’t exist before. Keep up the good work! I’m interested in your water hub, so sent you a message via your email

I’ll admit in previous videos I didn’t fully understand an application where this would be ideal. This explanation of how to apply this product has made it a lot clearer, and it now looks like a much more viable solution than previously explained. Looking forward to seeing other content creators use and review it.

This video is probably overdue but I also think given this product’s apparent uniqueness that it was always going to take time to realise where the gaps in the public’s understanding of what it can do become apparent. Having said that it’s clear to me that while both of you have an absolute understanding of how it works and it’s benefits, I feel it is the sort of product that will take time and many different installation examples from yourselves and others to be truly appreciated for what it is. Introducing new products is always a challenge. I have a new camper trailer that will most likely receive one of these when it gets a lithium upgrade. Looking forward to it..

Just took delivery of my Egon DC Hub, love its elegance.

[@craigthomson6398]

Love it and understand it much much better now.. definitely going into my canopy build

[@steveswiggers1578]

Very good explanation of the unique selling points! It’s very clear that it’s ‘invented’ by people who were looking for a solution for a real issue one has building a vehicle (without the need to be an electronic genius).

[@wernerbauer2652]

I get it!, I have OCD so this product is awesome. Well done boys!

[@danielellem5334]

That has sold me on the Egon over the RedVision. Want to be able to run the twin compressor etc out of the one hub, plus I like having hard switches. RedVision worries me in that you’re depending on one panel interface for all switching - what if it fails? Egon looks a great product - my build happening soon, will you guys do a video on the concept behind the planned switching option so it might be factored in for future install once available?

[@dgd05]

Very well explained video. Thanks

[@gotoylc]

Nicely explained. The switching unit is your next step, and much anticipated.

[@abdullahibrahim5189]

Excellent discussion and lot of logics practical information. Many thanks.

[@bjgtrev1970]

Quick question with the Solar connection do you need a regulator between the EGON Hub and the Solar Panel.

[@4wdadventureoz]

One of the things that make this product better than all the others is that it can handle the big draw accessories like the inverter and air compressor as well as two connections for solar, one regulated and one non regulated 👏

[@EGONGame-changingsimplicity]

Thank you. This is part of what makes it unique.

[@EWOverland]

Thanks for clarifications, grate video. I have a question when the hub located in the back of the truck with the auxiliary battery and the air compressor in the engine compartment connected to starter battery, how it will connect to the EGON hub ?

[@Medlicott13]

Looks like a Great product Guys I am about to start a canopy build in the next few Months so definitely am interested.

[@reecemalins3450]

Love the product guys keep it up. Can you still use the switching function of the red vision screen/app if using the Elgin dc hub with the red vision and manager 30 or will it only be a monitoring screen now Thanks

[@laurieberg2880]

Hi I am a DC dummy. Are you installing a fuse at the battery + posts? On a couple of my very simple DC installations I have always installed a fuse or breaker in the circuit at the power source. Thanks

[@2Oxyuranus]

Watch their other videos on the install of the DC-HUB and it explains that.

[@EGONGame-changingsimplicity]

You did it right. ALWAYS fuse the + lead as close as possible to the battery. No exceptions with ANY system. The fuse protects the cables and wires, not the accessories attached to them. In the event of a short circuit, the battery fuse is the last backup protection. Smaller cables/wires which could burn out if short-circuited have to be protected by a smaller fuse - either in-line or on a distribution fuse box.

[@laurieberg2880]

@@EGONGame-changingsimplicity thank you for your reply

[@jc7654]

Could you do a info video on your recommend switches to be used before you need to apply the use of a relay with a nother switch as there are lots and a lot are rubbish , very informative especially when you see your box installed , it makes it a lot easier to understand and appreciate how it works 👍👍

[@DhimanAhir]

Where does the DC Hub sit? Under the bonnet or in the passenger cabin?

[@EGONGame-changingsimplicity]

It is not suitable for under-bonnet fitment.

[@Yaar-Nomad-28]

Is it Bluetooth connectable or not 2 check the battery 🔋 is been charging or not

[@Mr_Cruisin]

Might not be able to have large items be switched directly off the redvision but I can make it switch a relay that can?

[@willoldmeadow7298]

Love it! I want one.

[@johnxander6305]

I’m 20 years old and much prefer a switch, I don’t know when companies decided we didn’t like switches and made the arb linx and redivision but I much prefer an actual switch, it seems like they made a solution to a problem they decided the consumer has. So no I don’t think your a dinosaur

[@WaitWhat99]

Bit confused. Do you only work with South Africans? They’re the majority of people you interview/talk to….even though you’re in Australia… 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@EGONGame-changingsimplicity]

Heiner is German. John is of German ancestry, Rob is English, Sean is Iranian. South Africans? Where?
