Is it worth over $2,000? RedArc RedVision System (Features & First Thoughts)

A lot of folks have been asking about our thoughts on the RedVision kit from RedArc we've had installed in our Lexus GX460 auxiliary power system. So here's our in-depth look at the DC system and whether or not we feel its worth the price tag. Even if this isn't the system for you, we cover some basic principles of auxiliary power systems so it will be a good watch if you're just looking for ideas.

I think a video over budget friendly auxiliary power options for beginning overlanders would be great topic to go over.

I'm an electrical engineer. Awesome job explaining what can be unfamiliar and complex concepts into easily understood concepts.

[gmcoley]

I also have to add that Redarc support is amazing. They are based in Australia, but they have a 12 hour window and they will go the extra mile to make sure you get the help and answer you need.

Thank you! This really helped me make a decision. I just bought the system for my van in Idaho. I compared Victron and others. The size of devices, scalable, and price made the decision clear. The fact you also field test them! People don't realize electronics in a moving vehicle get bumped and jarred. Your testing of jarring devices is essential so they don't fail on the road.

One of the more comprehensive reviews of something highly technical that I've found online. Great work.

I’ve had my Manager30/RedVision system in my 2021 JLU Rubicon, for two months, and I absolutely love it! I am a remote worker, as well as a photographer/videographer/ graphic designer- and my son is homeschooled, so we really needed a reliable aux power system. For us, the Redarc system is worth its weight in gold!

[gardenparty]

Those with the need will certainly appreciate your input.

[xkbozjb]

Wow! There’s a lot more to that RedArc system than I realised. Really like the “programmable” options where you can take an input from the vehicle as well. Thanks for taking the time to step through how it all works!

[ryanjohnson]

Yes please cover a budget/ starter set up, thanks for everything you guys do!

[Florence_and_Vega]

Everyone in Oz seems to run red arc. You just explained to me why. Thanks man 🤙

[OutdoorAuto]

Best simplified explanation I’ve seen… 👏

[RobertsAdventure]

Best explanation of why you need a DC to DC charger I have heard. I just believed it was what you need but never understood really why before, it really was just sorcery! "Electrical pressure" is a great metaphor.

Nice work on this video, Kevin. As someone who has spent a lot of time on boats, it was very relatable with regards to engine alternator, solar power, shore power and house load relationships... including keeping that engine start battery healthy.

[JeremySlat]

You have an amazing ability to explain things in laymen terms. Thank you bro! I have been going over every scenario I can in building my camper van. Red Arc is amazing quality from what I've seen. Thanks again

Great set up. Getting my redvision added in with my manager 30 set up later this week. I also picked up 8 of the Rok 9s a couple days ago. Would love to see a "how to" video on your wiring install of the Rok 9s.

[VideoShowMeHow]

Great vid, redarc gear really is pretty dang trick 👌

[jailbreakoverlander]

I run red arc but I did it the long way, and always thought the manager was overkill for just a single rig, but in hind sight it seems viable.

[SasukeUchiha-zudw]

A Jackery or goal zero is a good option for those just getting started to run a fridge

[evankolpack]

Higher load outputs is simple, just use a low current circuit to trigger a relay with whatever current handling you need. Great video, you got me sold on this system!

As a huge fan of the RedArc Tow Pro Elite system, I badly want to upgrade to something like this. However, as most of my lighting controls and electrical setup are already complete, I wondering if just doing their DC-to-DC charging system will be a better fit for me. My Snomaster 56D definitely takes a chunk out of AGM batteries over more than 2 days. So, a dual battery system is definitely in the works. Great job as always, Kevin!
