I just wanted to drop a comment letting you know we enjoyed the video and watching your channel. Thanks.

Excellent video! I am sold on this conversion.

Thanks Tom great video! I’m saving this for reference when I’m more ready to upgrade 👍🏼🍺

Thanks so much! We upgraded to lithium but I didn’t realize it still shows 13.6 even when it’s 40%. We killed our lithiums overnight because we thought we had enough!!! Now I know why!

As an long time RV'er, I hope to see a concise, no hype, video on what to buy for a typical DIY, cost-effective, NON-SOLAR, Class C RV conversion to Lithium power, including Lithium converter/charger, lithium battery voltage monitoring , battery heating, and other special devices needed. I use a "Trikle Start" (sp) device and home AC power to keep house batteries charged/healthy/ready for use.

Love your videos. I have watched to batter upgrade videos several times and can't seem to find the answer to something so simple. I just upgraded to Lithium in my new TT. I just received my Victron Smart Shunt in the mail. My question is.......where does the negitive ground wire connect to that is attached to the side of the trailer tongue? Does it go back on the battery or to the shunt?? Looking forward to another video and and answer to my nagging question. Thank you.

After doing my due diligence, I determined that I needed a lot more battery and solar than I had first estimated! I ended up with a 2kw solar panel setup, with 1000aH of LifePO4 batteries to get what my small (25 foot TT) needed for boondocking power. I even have a still to turn gray water into fresh water, which extends my boondocking time tremendously. So as soon as I'm done with the cancer regimen, we will be out of here! Cheers from the Boondocking Brewer™!

Great Information!!! Thanks!!!

Some good 12 volt fridges are very efficient.

Like the simple explanation with diagrams😊

I wish you were my camper salesman. I feel like I know more than my guy selling my camper especially with my wifi and solar

16:49 You should have shown the two different bus bars. Some folks don't pay close enough attention and might think one can use just one bus bar, as that's what you've shown.

Heard you recommend the camco box for lithium to be stored on the tongue of a travel trailer. Do you have to worry about moisture with these boxes? This placement is where we will need to go with our batteries.

My 12v fridge with freezer off at sundown bat is 13.40 and 13.25 at 9am.Only getting 3 hours of sun per day where in at.

What in a lithium battery system negative doesn’t go to the ground? And so the shunt 1 side to ground the other to the the negative post

13:18 Not the best way to wire your batteries. If using more than two, use equal length wires from each positive to a common point, i.e. a bus bar, then hook up from the bus bar to the load. Do same with negative wires. This will five all the batteries equal charging and discharging, PLUS allow taking one battery out of system for maintenance without having to shut the whole system down. I've lived off-grid for over 30 years now and have found this much better than what is shown here.

Will my on board house charger work for lithium

I know that you have advertised for Brooklyn bedding in the past. FYI they won't / don't honor letters or prescriptions from Dr.'s to take care of the taxes. That would be worth mentioning in your ads.
