    Anybody have experience installing and using the Ecoflow Power Kit? I just picked one up for a very nice discount (>$2K) through the Costco Next/Ecoflow partnership. I've reviewed some youtube installation videos, but I'm fuzzy on grounding the DC to DC charger cabling, and where exactly to...

    So just bought my electric system (Ecoflow delta pro). Pretty sure it’s got more than I need. I plan to have two 400w panels (42.4v, 9.41a) permanently mounted to a rack, in series. I also grabbed a couple 160w foldable panels (18.2v, 8.8a) but am wondering if I should return them. The...

    Hello! I am building out a van system and have a 3 separate questions after reading the manuals for an MPPT charger and a DC2DC charger: 1) SmartSolar MPPT 100/50 manual states in section 3.2 that the NEC requires a GFPD between the system negative and earth ground. Is this referring to placing...

    I'm a total amateur here and to survive in this world I try to keep things simple. Please let me know if I can add this panel (320W Renogy) to my existing system and what is the best way. I use Bluetti AC200P and a 400W LG Neon2 BiFacial panel. I basically plug in the panel to AC200P and it...

    I'd really like to keep this discussion VERY close to the title of the post. I do not want to go down the wormhole of recharging options, and what "you'd probably do....." I am a minimalist who prefers modular stuff. I use a Dometic PLB battery with a Dometic CFX35, and that form factor is...

    I pivoted on some components in my build, and will not be using these items. They were opened for bench testing, but are otherwise brand new. Renogy 3000W pure sine wave inverter (RNG-INVT-3000-12V-P2-US) https://renogy.com/3000w-12v-pure-sine-wave-inverter/ $325 shipped Progressive Dynamics...

    Has anyone utilized a "canned" solar system (solar generator) to power their electronics in a RV style van build out? My 21 Transit T250 already has a small inverter and 110 outlet. Everything else I'm installing is 12 volt. I've been looking at the largest Jackery unit or possibly 2 of the...

    I see a lot of these posts, and I've read them, and tried to absorb everything I can from them and the OEMs info, few youtube videos, and even a book I have. I sketched my plan up here and I'm interested in you shooting holes in it. Building for my mom in a month or two who will use this van...

    I've settled on a DC-AC-DC electrical system design I am happy with. Some of it blatantly stolen from @gregoryx and others (thanks!) I would appreciate comments, questions, and criticism. I have a 2020 with dual alternators/batteries, so lots of spare amps available. The roof rack will be used...

    Looking to put a roof rack on my 148 inch extended van. Will need to be able to hold up to 3 solar panels. Bonus: can add ladder on the side later on.

    I am trying to make some decisions on the electrical system for my 2020 Ford Transit, HR EL. I plan to live in the van year round and expect to be in some snowy environments throughout the winter. I'd like to have solar and alternator charging, and am considering shore power as well. I plan to...

    Looking for a company that can do a conversion in phases. I'm not where I can build it out myself (live in apt) since I don't have the room/space. I want to do this in phases, so am thinking solar first, then bed kit (looking at flarespace for this) etc but if someone has done something like...

    Hello, I'm looking for input on a solar system I'm planning for my 2021 Transit. I have done some research and am heading in the following direction I'll use about 80 amp hours per day and want about 2 days of storage. I'll use solar, alternator, and shore power to charge my system. I would like...

    Video & some more photos on the way, wanted to celebrate for a sec though. Still need to plug everything in, but they're secure. Six 100 watt Renogy panels, 60 feet of 8020, and a (permanently open) Maxxair. 🍻

    Hi - I've got a LWB High Roof & am plotting out my roof layout. Tough to find exact measurements but from what I can tell, the roof is about 121" x 54". I've ordered two Maxxairs and Hein's standard and forward roof adapter. I'm guessing the forward adapter will add a few inches to the real...

    Dear forum comrades, My 2019 Transit Van High Roof 148” wheel base is ready for solar system install. Would anyone be available to help and/or guide me with installing solar system? Scratching my head about how to connect the Cyrix alternator charger? (and other things) I can travel to your...

    I recently purchased @flatlinevanco Low Pro roof rack for my Transit 148WB Medium roof. I saw this photo on their site and was wondering if anyone could tell me what they think the panels are or dimensions. I'd like to do a similar layout with two 100W panels next to the fan as shown in this...
