Please don’t waste your money on these Chinese junk boxes the 1st generator. I bought ( bilt hard) did well for 1 month. Then when it acted up it ruined. Sulfated $2000 worth of my rv batteries, took 2 months dealing with these idiots from China you get 1 sentence every 24 hrs on an email response. So it takes 1 month to resolve / return this pos, then the next brand I bought runs ok until it doesn’t and the propane regulator leaks so that cost me 200 of wasted propane that was August now it’s dec but guess what they still never resolved that problem . I have all the emails about it and still no new part. I emailed them a video they req of my electronic leak detector showing the propane regulator leaking. They say they will send new parts out by Dhl but never did .. Now they have passed on helping me and say the useless California service center will expedite a replacement but that doesn’t happen either. This is after another video and pics of another issue. Fuel dripping from air cleaner box to carb inlet . And a 3rd issue is a full clean oil change that still didn’t resolve a low oil light/ no start for 3 days and a brainless service center that doesn’t know where the low oil wire is located to disconnect it so I can start it . They keep sending me the same pic of the wire which I keep responding to tell them that’s not my generator 7250 I don’t have any wires or sensor like the pic shows . So the generator has so much vibration that the main battery wire harness is being cut through by laying against the metal and that’s with the wire loom covering over the wires how many other places is that happening to ? And this engine has way too much noise it doesn’t sound good to my ears As A 30 year Ase master auto technician…. So my advice stay away from all this junk take a road trip and buy a good used generac with a real USA industrial engine w/ a pressurized oil system with a spin on oil filter and a true continuous output vs this BS junk that’s flooding our market I have such a unit but in storage and thus needed a quick on the road unit for my rv trip . Anyone wanting to see my emails to confirm all I say is welcome to see them .

Would something like 6 inches of insulation on every surface reduce the amount of solar you need? It would severely limit living space. Almost like living in a refrigerator. Refrigerators are very efficient. Makes me wonder how much insulation would be necessary to cool your space with 1.000 watts. Is there a point where insulation would have negligible efficiency?
@offgridphilosophy7959 Жыл бұрын
I sprayed expanding foam and it's 4 inches thick on ceiling and walls. The brand i used is called Foamitgreen. Insulation does keep some of the heat outside but generally all it does is slow down the speed in which the heat transfers into the van by means of radiation. It is a must have if you have cooling or a heater.

How many amps is your charger?
So I am having the same issue with the BMS. If I understood you correctly, I should connect the battery to the charger first and then plug them in. What should I expect after that? I have four of these for a food trailer.
If you're using a charger that Signiture Solar sales, you hook the charger to the batteries first and then plug it into a wall outlet. That should wake up your BMSs that are in protect mode.
@@offgridphilosophy7959 Yes i did do that. Thanks to your video, but unfortunately that did not work. The charger might be bad. I have a tech call with Signature Solar soon, so hopefully they have an answer. They haven't been great help. Thank again!
@@user-fo4vn3ey4l If your charger is reading negative five ( -5 ), it is good. If your battery went into protect mode you can put a slight draw on it to wake it back up. Just hook any 48 volt device to it and use that to draw even some slight current.
@@offgridphilosophy7959 Not sure what you mean -5. On a multimeter? There is no reading on the charge except a light that is blinking back and forth red/green. Signature Solar told me charger is bad and is working on sending another one. Any suggestion on a 48v device, been trying to think of something I have around to do that.
@@user-fo4vn3ey4l Don't throw it away. Put a multi meter on it and see if you get -5 volts. If so it's working correctly. You need to put a draw on your battery to wake it out of protect mode.
What is on the other door?
I was glad to hear that the compressor unit can be mounted under the floor. I haul a motorcycle on the rear hitch and don't really like the idea of it making my roofline any higher. There's a ton of vacant space under my extended 170 so that would work best for me. Thanks for the video. 👍
Happy to help thanks for stopping in!
This one can work but not a top loader! www.ebay.com/itm/323944304807?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20220706173935%26meid%3Da69e1e663fa9486b9231c19b9ad598b5%26pid%3D101526%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26mehot%3Dnone%26itm%3D323944304807%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2Mobile&_trksid=p2380057.c101526.m146925&_trkparms=pageci%3A2582da88-0f65-11ee-8518-32d766097fb4%7Cparentrq%3Ad8c1ca7c1880aa7116282b04fffabb8a%7Ciid%3A1

I can't find those AC/DC units for sale anywhere anymore. Also, I think that outside unit you have is suppose to be mounted horizontally, not vertically like you have it... otherwise you would burn out your compressor. is your compressor still functioning?
This has happened before. They'll be back up on amazon when they get a new batch. You can hang it in any direction. Some people have even removed their spare tire and mounted it down below. Still working like a charm, every single day.
@@offgridphilosophy7959 thanks for the info!
This hitch still work good? Im thinking about getting it for our mobile grooming vehicle
Like hasnt started to sag ect
@@Ohio19919 No sagging at all. Still operates like new.
Ive just got my hub motor and the dropouts on the typhoon fram seem to be ~.1-.2mm too small for the rear axle
Really creative. Question: The unit mounted on the other door, is it part of the mini split?
That's my fan. It's a Maxxairfan.
Amazon is out of stock and doesn't know when it will be available. 😢
@@tommcdonald1746 If you're talking about the mini split, this has happened before. They just need to get another shipment in.
Where do you store extra fuel ? The box doesn’t look big enough to keep a gas can in.
Five gallon can in my trailer.
Thanks for the introduction. Nice to have options that don't add to vehicle height.
You're very welcome!
What about dirt and road grime , how do you keep it clean and from effecting performance on the outside unit over time?
I assume just spraying through the cooling fins with a garden hose will keep it clean and functioning proper.I only drive about 1,000 miles in a years time so i may never need to clean mine.
Why do you need to use that adapter on a 30Amp RV cord?
The gen comes with a twist lock outlet and I'm using a standard rv plug. The generator comes with the adapter incase you use a standard rv plug in.
