Hey Jeff, just curious, what made you decide to go with a 3000 watt instead of a 2000 watt?
I wanted to be able to run the AC if in really hot conditions no mater where we are. The fact, you can do less with more, but you can't do more with less. I didn't consider the price too much more. Also, I was able to make it fit a space in the TC that works great. And cost nothing in compromise of something else. Hoping to wrap it up today, deep clean the TC, then go test camping a few days. First purchase will be an instapot. Also looking at getting Starlink. We will be spending more time on the road in the camper and this will improve, widen the comfort level.
I was looking at the space, pretty tight in there, are you going to add a fan and vent for forced cooling? the multiplus alone is suposed to have 4" space minimum all around it.
There is 4" space all around it. The unit does have a fan under it. I'll be drilling 5 1-1/4" holes 2" up from the bottoms of the doors. 2 will be ducted to the fan with pvc pipe, probably not necessary. I'll run it first with the holes and see how the temp manages. The 3kw inverter really kicks out the power, charging at 99 amps. Ic charged both batteries from 78% to 100% in a very short time. I had it unplugged and ran everything off the inverter and batteries all day and they ran down 22% to 78% full. Also, I rewired the DC fuse panel to run directly off a 4 gauge wire, eliminating the old 10 gauge wire going through a 30 amp cube relay and 14 or 16 gauge wires. The old battery switch is now the rear jacks and the front jacks are on the old jack switch. In testing, the jack motors spin faster and more equally than before. So far, everything is working very nicely.
ahh ok must just be the way it looked in the picture
