Victron Multiplus II 2x-120 (3000VA inverter) Installation Introduction - AC Power Basics

This is a quick intro to what will become a deep dive into a full Victron inverter charger setup in my Grand Design Reflection 28BH 5th wheel, along with the setup of all of the Victron accessories.

This particular video touches on how I solved the issue of extending the main power wire to the front of the RV by terminating it into a transfer switch first, then running additional new wire as needed.

Big thanks for Battle Born for their batteries, as well as answering lots of technical questions for this setup.

For the price of one of those GC3 batteries, you can get 16 grade A prismatic cells and BMS's to make four 280ah batteries that are each the size of the 100ah battleborn batteries. I don't understand why people are paying 4x or more for Battleborn batteries. Is it just like having Calvin Klein on your underwear or Jordache on your jeans?

I'm curious. Why did you put your batteries in the basement storage area? Would they have fit in the front compartment next to your Inverter/charger?

keeping me up a night would be - worried about your "cord" inside the conduit, oh right - hiding behind wall :)

What was the brand of the first battery that you tried before the BB? I have a Progressive Dynamics hard wired surge protector installed in my rig (303RLS) in about the same spot as you transfer switch. So, I’ll run from that to my Victron Multiplus II

Why did you put an ac transfer switch in. The Multiplus II has a automatic transfer switch built in.

Oh man you are so wrong. All you need is multiplus 2. That is it. The wires that comes to your main subpanel take them off and insert them in to your multiplus 2 in side. Out side buy new set of wires and run them back to your subpanel. Done.
