Every Victron Inverter/Charger COMPARED!
EXPLORIST life - DIY Campers 2023-06-04 | In this video, we will be comparing every single Victron Inverter/Charger available. We will cover the EasyPlus, the EasySolar, the Quattro, the Quattro-II, the EasySolar-II GX, the Multi RS Solar, and the MultiPlus 500VA-1600VA, the MultiPlus, the MultiPlus 2000VA, the MultiPlus-II, the MultiPlus-II 2X 120, and the MultiPlus-II GX. An inverter charger is an electrical component that serves two purposes. Number one, converting DC power stored in a battery bank into AC power to be used by standard household devices. And number two, using AC power from the electrical grid or a generator to charge the battery bank. Victron currently has 74 different Inverter/Chargers, and this video will break down all the available options and hopefully help you figure out 'which multiplus do I need?' For example, the Multiplus vs Multiplus-II, and the "old" Multiplus Compact vs the Multiplus 500VA-1600VA. ➤Shop the EXPLORIST.life Store: shop.explorist.life ➤Shop Battle Born Batteries: http://battlebornbatteries.com?afmc=explorist_bb67 ➤Binge the Transit Van Build: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVfA4XCYJBkzfUXunSON1zX 00:00 Introduction 00:21 How Many Different Inverter/Chargers are available? 01:09 Deciphering the Numbers (on the front of the Multiplus) 02:10 How Volt Amps Relates to Wattage Output 03:18 List of All Inverter/Chargers 03:51 EasyPlus 04:20 EasySolar, EasySolar-II GX, Multi RS Solar 05:36 Quattro, Quattro-II 06:40 MultiPlus Overview 07:26 MultiPlus-II GX 07:46 MultiPlus-II 2x120V 08:54 MultiPlus 500VA-1600VA, MultiPlus Compact.

See Camper/RV Temperature from Anywhere in the world & get alerts!
EXPLORIST life - DIY Campers 2023-05-28 | In this video, we will show you how to connect a Bluetooth Temperature Sensor to the Cerbo GX. We are using RuuviTags to monitor the temperature of our plumbing enclosure as well as the temperature of the camper van. RuuviTag is weatherproof, wireless, and measures the temperature and air humidity in our camper van. We wanted to get notifications on our phones whenever our water tank in our plumbing enclosure was in danger of freezing as well as when the van was too hot for our dog, Pyros. So, we are placing one temperature sensor inside our plumbing enclosure, and one just somewhere in the living space of the campervan. In order to receive notifications when we were out of bluetooth range of the Ruuvi tags, we are syncing the sensors to the Victron Cerbo GX to relay all that information to the VRM portal. That way, whenever we have internet signal, we can monitor or be notified of those temperatures. ➤Link to RuuviTag: amzn.to/3PgS8dS ➤Victron Cerbo GX: https://shop.explorist.life/shop/all-products/monitoring/victron-cerbo-gx/ ➤Victron Touch 70 GX Screen: https://shop.explorist.life/shop/all-products/victron-gx-touch-70/ ➤Victron Cerbo GX Wiring Kit: https://shop.explorist.life/shop/all-products/system-monitoring-wiring-kit/ ➤Link to VRM Portal: vrm.victronenergy.com ➤Shop the EXPLORIST.life Store: shop.explorist.life ➤Shop Battle Born Batteries: http://battlebornbatteries.com?afmc=explorist_bb67 ➤Binge the Transit Van Build: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVfA4XCYJBkzfUXunSON1zX Here are some additional resources that you may find helpful with planning and installing your DIY Camper: ➤ FORD TRANSIT DIY Camper Van Electrical Install: youtube.com/watch?v=E5q7_4FH4LQ&t=2874s&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=3&t=1897s ➤ DIY Sprinter Camper Van Electrical Install - Full Tutorial: youtube.com/watch?v=01F4QDVJUq0&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=3&t=1897s ➤ DIY Camper Solar Wiring Diagrams: https://www.explorist.life/solarwiringdiagrams ➤ How to Perform a Power Audit: youtube.com/watch?v=a406IxiU-Xg&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TU6HlMaQiCUwC20DBlyv6s_&index=3 ➤ Basic Parts & Components of an Electrical System: youtube.com/watch?v=xuZg4NasCVw&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TU6HlMaQiCUwC20DBlyv6s_&index=1 ➤ How to Cut Wire: https://www.explorist.life/how-to-cut-wire/ ➤ How to Strip Wire: youtube.com/watch?v=ca45dL2X4SM&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=10 ➤ How to Crimp Wire: youtube.com/watch?v=JmiX2XW48F8&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=9 ➤ How to Make MC4 Connectors: youtube.com/watch?v=YFAKK491wj0&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=7 ➤ How to Wire Solar Panels in Series-Parallel: youtube.com/watch?v=b2H8vpj8rQg&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=3 ➤ How to Crimp Wire Ferrules: youtube.com/watch?v=h8CHAVmpPFw&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=8 ➤ How to Wire an AC/DC Breaker/Fuse Box: https://www.explorist.life/how-to-wire-a-power-distribution-panel/ 00:00 Introduction 00:29 Connect RuuviTag to Cerbo via Bluetooth 01:25 Renaming RuuviTag in Cerbo 02:04 Change from Celcius to Farenheit 02:31 VRM Portal 03:09 Set Up Alarms on VRM Portal 04:20 Testing - RuuviTag in Freezer 04:36 2nd RuuviTag - Van Temp Sensor 05:02 RuuviTag App 05:19 Outro
WIRELESS WATER TANK SENSOR FOR A CAMPER VAN (MOPEKA PRO)
EXPLORIST life - DIY Campers 2023-05-21 | In this video, we are going to show you how we set up our wireless Mopeka Tank sensor for our gray water tank in our Ford Transit Campervan conversion. We will show you how to set up the sensor on both the Cerbo GX and your phone through the Mopeka app. For this video, we used the Mopeka Pro Check-Water Sensor (Bottom Mount w/Collar) mounted onto the bottom our 7 gallon gray water tank. The sensor uses ultrasonic sensing to measure you water levels and bluetooth to send that information to your phone and Cerbo GX (viewable on the GX Touch 70). In this video, we will show you how to mount the Mopeka pro sensor, how to program the Mopeka to the app on your phone and to the Cerbo GX, and finally test the tank when full and empty. ➤Shop the EXPLORIST.life Store: shop.explorist.life ➤Shop Battle Born Batteries: http://battlebornbatteries.com?afmc=explorist_bb67 ➤Binge the Transit Van Build: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVfA4XCYJBkzfUXunSON1zX Here are some additional resources that you may find helpful with planning and installing your DIY Camper: ➤ FORD TRANSIT DIY Camper Van Electrical Install: youtube.com/watch?v=E5q7_4FH4LQ&t=2874s&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=3&t=1897s ➤DIY Sprinter Camper Van Electrical Install - Full Tutorial: youtube.com/watch?v=01F4QDVJUq0&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=3&t=1897s ➤DIY Camper Solar Wiring Diagrams: https://www.explorist.life/solarwiringdiagrams ➤How to Perform a Power Audit: youtube.com/watch?v=a406IxiU-Xg&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TU6HlMaQiCUwC20DBlyv6s_&index=3 ➤Basic Parts & Components of an Electrical System: youtube.com/watch?v=xuZg4NasCVw&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TU6HlMaQiCUwC20DBlyv6s_&index=1 ➤How to Cut Wire: https://www.explorist.life/how-to-cut-wire/ ➤How to Strip Wire: youtube.com/watch?v=ca45dL2X4SM&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=10 ➤How to Crimp Wire: youtube.com/watch?v=JmiX2XW48F8&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=9 ➤How to Make MC4 Connectors: youtube.com/watch?v=YFAKK491wj0&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=7 ➤How to Wire Solar Panels in Series-Parallel: youtube.com/watch?v=b2H8vpj8rQg&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=3 ➤How to Crimp Wire Ferrules: youtube.com/watch?v=h8CHAVmpPFw&list=PLmvhcyi4n0TVgcroqXl5QvJM0afUes_zX&index=8 ➤How to Wire an AC/DC Breaker/Fuse Box: https://www.explorist.life/how-to-wire-a-power-distribution-panel/ 00:00 Introduction 00:43 Mopeka Pro/Mounting to Tank 01:27 Programming with Mopeka App 02:46 Testing Sensor with Mopeka App 03:00 Sync Sensor to Cerbo GX 05:00 Testing Sensor with Cerbo GX 05:40 Final Thoughts

BUILDING A UNISTRUT CAMPER VAN BED PLATFORM
EXPLORIST life - DIY Campers 2023-04-09 | This video will teach you how to build an elevated bed module for a DIY camper van conversion with unistrut, a headboard, side shelves, and a custom mattress from Tochta. In this van bed build, we decided to use unistrut for the van bed frame because it seemed easier than 80/20 and sturdier than wood. We are so happy with how this platform bed turned out because we can now fit our mountain bikes easily under the bed, and still have easy access to both our electrical enclosure and all our plumbing.

Making a DIY CAMPER STORAGE MODULE
EXPLORIST life - DIY Campers 2023-03-26 | This video will teach you how to build a camera storage cabinet for a DIY camper van conversion with one drawer, one shelf, a built-in USB charging block, a 120V outlet, and under cabinet lighting. We use a lot of camera gear and wanted the option to bring all of our gear on the road when we take the van on trips. We wanted to make sure we could charge all of our small lights, camera batteries, gimbal, and mics. With this in mind, we made sure to make an organized charging station with a USB hub inside one of the drawers to minimize the mess of wires. Instead of building multiple drawers, we decided to build a drawer with two shelves in our camper van. These shelves are perfect for sliding our packing cubes in and out, and we used a bungee cord to prevent anything from sliding out while driving the van. This camera storage cabinet build was the perfect solution for all our gear and can be modified for other uses down the line. Thank you to Peak Design for sponsoring this video!
