Nice setup! I am on the verge of ordering the X3 and EcoFlow power kit 5k. Would you still go with this combo?

Great install instructions, super helpful! I happen to have the same x3 and EcoFlow bundle with the 48v cable that I purchased from Campervan HQ. I want to bench test the setup but I’m not sure how to connect the 48v cable to the x3. I have the Nomadic diy kit with the Anderson connectors and cable. Did you put a fuse inline on the positive side? What size and type of splice connectors did you use to connect the 48v cable to the Nomadic diy cable? Thanks

You can get a 48v cable from CampervanHQ that goes from power hub direct to AC unit. Power Hub is already fused internally on each connection so an additional fuse is not necessary. My Nomadic AC unit came with a 48v plug. I did have to rewire the male and female plug ends to the AC unit and 48v ecoflow wire.

Can you share a link to the splice connectors you used to wire the 48v CampervanHQ cable to the Nomadic 48v cable with the Anderson plug? Thanks!

@@davidholdan7882 at 16:27 in the video you can see the 48v plug that came with the AC unit. On the left are the wires from AC unit. I cut-off the ring connectors and installed the plug. On the right is the wires from EcoFlow unit. They are connected with butt connectors such as these. 6 awg to 8 awg is probably what you need depending on wire size: amzn.to/3ScEV72

I ended up talking to Nomadic and used terminal rings bolted together and got it up and running connected to the EcoFlow with the 48v cable. The weird thing is that I don’t see watts being used when the X3 is running. Are you able to see the realtime or historical power used by the X3 in the EcoFlow app or console anywhere?

@@davidholdan7882 Unfortunately the direct battery to AC cabling bypasses the power hub and does not show the power being consumed. The power hub continues to show the remaining capacity of the battery but unfortunately no real-time stats.

thanks!

What's the verdict, sir? People say the weaker nomadic A/Cs have inadequately cooled the sprinter. Does this really do the trick?

Where is the review of the performance?

Why 48 vs 12 volt?

48v uses smaller wiring throughout the system, lower cost and easier to work with. I'm using an EcoFlow 48v power kit so there's no conversion to go straight to 48v on the AC also. When I build 12v systems w/ 12v battery I do use a 12v AC unit, or 110 through the inverter.
