Finally Charging and Inverting

I finally finished the install of the Xantrex Freedom Xc 2000 charger/inverter, remote panel, Xantrex LinkPro monitor, the Victron IsoFet battery isolator, and Trick-L-Start.  This got way too complicated, but it works.  The charger/inverter is installed in place of the original one behind the steps in the cargo bay.  The original 120 VAC breaker panel has been replaced by two smaller ones, one as the master and one as a subpanel powered through the inverter.  I ran 10 gauge wire through a pair of liquid-tight flex conduits from the breaker panels to and from the inverter using the raceway.  The remote panel and the LinkPro were installed in the end of the counter by the door.  You can actually read them through the window.  I had to pull the drawers and move the doorbell chime down to make room.  The battery isolator was dead so I replaced it with the IsoFet and relocated it to the electric compartment under the bed.  I only had to replace the wire from the starter relay to the started solenoid, the rest of the wires were long enough.  I took the picture before I remembered to install the energize wire.

Anyway, it is all in an working quite well.  The microwave works much better on the inverter off battery power than it does on the really low voltage (108) in the building.

I added pictures of the install to my album.

For now the coach is just 2 O'riellys 8d agms, but the charger has an adjustable lithium setting.  We shall see what the future holds.  The engine is on another 8d agm.

That inverter is setup for those AGM's if selected it seems.  Should be a good match for your other stuff.  I like the power pro gauge also
