Installation Notes

This installation was completed in October of 2022.  The owner of this 5th wheel purchased the Battle Born batteries from me in June of 2022.  He installed two of the batteries temporarily because his existing batteries were dying.  He then came to me in October to have a full system installation completed.  The system consists of four Battle Born 100 amp hour batteries, a Victron Multiplus II 3KVA inverter charger, a Victron BMV712, a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/70 charge controller, along with some other miscellaneous parts. All of the DC components connect through a Victron Lynx distributor for convenience and fusing.  The system installation went fairly quickly due to the fact this was the sixth time I have installed a similar system in this particular Grand Design floor plan.  I really like this floor plan, both for its livability and for the available space it has for system installations.
