I noticed the heat strips not heat pumps. Second or third time I have seen heat strips on nice coaches/rv's recently
  Victron are 5k watts 24/48 volt.
2 batteries?
Mine has the heat strips and I had to use them this spring as my furnace blower motor went bad.  I ran the off my my 2 house batteries and the Gen started when they got low.

Victron are 5k watts 24/48 volts max?

2 batteries?

Their published technical chart shows 85% at 3000 watts.  Two units would put the efficiency well Into the mid 90% range using two inverters at 1500 watts each.

The Victron marketing people sent me a link to their 24/48 volt chart when I asked for the 12 volt chart.

Asked them again. We will see.  Just want the facts, mam

Here's the facts mam. Not sure how they feed the coach seeing they are 220 volt 50 cycle but very well could be specially made for Staley Conversions. Thinking the two batteries are start batteries or maybe two lithium ion 48 volt batteries modules.

Perfection?  My race buddy and I talked today about the upcoming $60k mid motor 3 second vette.

The FTP and center tub of the vette is a excellent crash structure.

I had a 78 silver anniversary vette I sold new be pin wheeled on the freeway in the rain at an estimated 120mph plus.

Every corner was smashed in several feet plus. 

I got out a tape measure and measured the interior dimensions versus a new exact car I had in stock to see.

Interior had not moved.  People walked away.

No blood.  The 60's models had bloody interiors.  I was the lot kid and hosed out the totals that the shop bought

Except for tv's and radios other than light bulbs what non USA parts are on our Foretravels.

C.M. Fore and Ray and the staff  bought everything USA. 

"Graded" steel to insure it was made here.  USA paneling and carpeting 

Even the suppliers that called on Foretravel drove USA made cars long ago.

PHH the largest company car leasing only leased American cars then.

No way Foretravel bought anything non USA unless no choice.

I have one of these in my coach, works great. Like David has posted, no way to know where things are really made anymore.
