    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    I'm guessing that's how the factory has it set up on our rvs? I haven't dived into opening anything up. I guess im.not follow still what your saying. Shore power runs into transfer switch as input, run as output from transfer switch to multiplus, out the multiplus to my rv main panel. Then you...

    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    A few posts up I posted a diagram. From what you typed and the diagram. They are not the same the way I'm reading it? Why is the generator last? And not also ran to the auto trasmnsfer switch?

    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    the guy who provided me that drawing said he used them also. so i probably will. only down side to that i see is i need to get the inverter and everything installed and disconnected and then see what im working with to order it and wait. but i have some down time where it can wait currently

    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    okay back to more questions. Why do i need a breaker going between the inverter and rv panel? i just reviewed a p.o NAZ solar sent me a year ago. and it didnt include anything such. just trying to get my ducks in a row and everything ordered. debaiting if i should have cables pre made or order...

    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    gottcha, doesnt seem very useful for my application. so i guess the question is without it, the inverter will always be on? is that bad or an issue? it can be installed without it right? or should i be looking at the cerbo gx? and the touch 50 screen to go with it?

    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    What is the purpose of changing the ac input current? Or when and why is it needed? I just figured it made sense to turn the inverter on and off. Like when it's parked in my driveway at home, no reason to have It pushing power to everything discharging batteries for nothing. Then again I just...

    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    So another question. Someone else with the same rv as me sent me a pm on fb lending info from a post I made in the fb group. He added the victron also (a lot of guys have or completely ditched the renogy system for victron). Said I NEEDED the inverter controler also. Said there were two. Just a...

    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    watched the video, everything it explained i already understand well. What confuses me i guess is the whole function of the inverter itself. Also why people argue so often about the power from a 50a receptacle. If i take my meter and put it on the two legs of a shower power 50a im going to get...

    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    Thank you for the explination! starting to make sense now. i will watch the video shortly once i send a few more emails out. Every time i ask that question in the past i just get the answer "the 12/3000/ 2x120 is made for our style rvs just order that" with no real answer hah

    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    i appreciate it. i dont, at least often. 95% of the time camping i make sure we get a 50a hook up. If there is no hook up we use the generator (when it works that is, gotta love cummins) correct, but thats what a 50a shore plug is also. its just two lines of 120vac. but this is where im...

    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    im not sure i follow honestly. but the 2x120 i believe would be the purpose built for my 5th wheel rv (50a). seems like its a very indepth type thing, and for a hobby or career aspect would be awesome to learn it all and play with it. but the funds are just not there, and neither is the time to...

    add victron multiplus to renogy system?

    yes i plan to. I thought i found a sweet deal for a new one locally for 650 bucks but its only a 1x120. founds a 2x120 locally for 1k but have found em cheaper online with free shipping. im not really trying to figure out what is on what leg in the electrical panel and all that jaz. thats also...
