Motorhome RV Solar & Lithium Upgrade - Start to Finish DIY Installation

This video will show you, start-to-finish, how we upgraded an existing electrical system in a 30A Class C Motorhome RV. In this DIY 30A RV electrical install, we cover a wide range of topics, so we have included chapters at the bottom of this description if you need to find a specific part of the install. This comprehensive tutorial will cover installing a two 270aH Battle Born GC3 batteries to create a 540aH battery bank, wiring a Victron Lynx Distributor with a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor and master disconnect switch, replacing the lead acid battery with a battery relocation kit, installing 1200W of solar panels connected to a solar charge controller, wiring a Victron MultiPlus 3k and splice kit so we can run 120V outlets without being connected to shore power, and alternator charging. Each chapter will also include a segment on programming and testing each component so you can best understand your system. ➤ Shop the EXPLORIST.life Store: https://shop.explorist.life ➤ Shop Battle Born Batteries: http://battlebornbatteries.com/?afmc=... ➤ Blue Wire Duct: https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/...
