Jayco Swan Runs the Air Conditioner, Induction cooker and more from batteries. Off Grid Setup.

[@ozzygrrrl]

I like how you demonstate entry level set ups as well as the more expensive set ups. Shows us that you are all about giving the customer the best system for the money. I'll be buying a large motorhome later in the year and I'll hit you guys up for the off grid mods I'll no doubt need.

[@extremeacc101]

Appreciate it if I only had more time I could show you some of the other setups done also. What I will try and avoid is using the cheaper items and that is purely for the fact of support in his country. Quality plays a role here as well which is why I try and stick with the Victron Enerdrive or Redarc units. 👍

Looks like a great set up and workmanship as usual! Im from Adelaide. Enjoy watching the big systems you do but as an owner of a new 13ft Jayco this looks more like a system that I think suit my requirements..

[@extremeacc101]

And that’s the beauty of customizations. You’re not limited to a package you can design the system based on your consumption.

I want to install a Dometic Harrier Lite but my installer says they leak out of the box from factory, something about a bad design ...??? factor fiction , you have fitted one or two ;-) any comments ...???

[@extremeacc101]

I’ve never heard of that.

[@vik351]

@@extremeacc101 Would it just be the install ,or the humidity dripper ...???

[@billramsey800]

Can you tell me when running a dcdc in a caravan from vehicle with a smart alternator is it necessary to connect the ignition wire from dcdc to vehicle.

[@extremeacc101]

Completely depends on the setup. We prefer to use an ignition controlled high current relay/solenoid to a rear anderson plug. The ignition control wire can then be looped into the incoming 12v feed.

[@Corey-pd3mi]

How long will they be able to run the AC for though?

[@extremeacc101]

On this small system. 3-4 hours More in peak sun

[@troyboy8179]

Hi Matty. Do you think the Power Paul 300 would fit in the swan?

[@ellissuridge5111]

Hey mate I'm in adelaide and also have a jayco swan out back and would like to get a similar setup done to be able to run off grid. What's something like this worth? Thanks

[@gavinfisher8049]

The mroe i see the expense to buy items and install to run induction cookers and coffee machines from inverters in small campers /ute canopies from batteries makes no sense cost wise compared to just using gas. Perosnally in a cost sense only use this set up purely for running AC off grid for comfort for such a small camper/solar and batery bank set up.

[@markfowler8070]

We’re are you located as I’m interested in this set up. I live in sydney

[@extremeacc101]

We are a South Australian based company and are completely mobile

[@ellissuridge5111]

I've got a jayco swan outback and would like this exact system only i don't have an air con fitted. What's it worth mate? I am adelaide based👍

What do those solar panels weigh?

[@extremeacc101]

Head over to solar4rvs for all their exotronic solar module specifications

[@LVNITUPM8]

@@extremeacc101 yeah looking at the roof of that swan there lifting mechanism is rated to 79kg and it has the aircon and bagend flys with awning so that would put the weight at 76.5kg already. Unless those solar panels weigh 2.5kg together that roof now is overweight and anything happens there will be no warranty just thought I would mention that

[@extremeacc101]

@@LVNITUPM8 This particular Air Conditioner weighs 37kg These panels are 8kg each.

[@LVNITUPM8]

@@extremeacc101 even with that being the case it's still over the weight limit by 2.5k I know it doesn't seem like much but jayco will use any excuse to get out of warranty

[@gavinfisher8049]

Very good point. Got to be careful with these Jayco winde up mechanism and roof weight .

[@martinbate2]

Very impressed with the quality workmanship. Do you have a man in Brisbane Qld ? If not could you please recommend someone who could to do a change over from agm caravan set up to lithium ? Thank you for the video ,very informative.

[@extremeacc101]

No problem. Contact the boys at Springers 👍👍👍

[@dant565]

So what roughly does a set up like this cost?

[@extremeacc101]

A smaller set up like this would be under $8000
