MultiPlus II Performance and Install!

The Multiplus II 2x120 is a great Inverter option for 50 Amp RVs. This video is what we have learned from using it and how it has worked for us. This Inverter is the best power solution with the most features I have seen. It has impressive output and gives a lot of capabilities to your RV. While it has many things it can do, the main feature is that we can have clean reliable power anywhere without a generator including power for our RV fridge while we drive and supply a boost to our shore power when 50 amp isn’t available. In the video I also walk through the details of installing it on our RV. Here is the link to the install diagram.

Great Review Jared! Just want to make sure I fully understand your setup. Tell me if I've got my couple of points right. 1) Your switch marked RV Load Disconnect cuts power from the MPPT to the Batteries. 2) Your Bus Bars are used for 12V supply to your 12V Breaker panel section and your Tow Vehicle Charging from either the MPPT or Battery as situation permits, if MPPT has higher voltage than Battery, it will charge batteries and feed 12V Fusebox. (Sorry not sure if MPPT is powered from Solar only or 12V battery or Both as available.) Thanks for all your hard work!

@burtmccormick4727 2 жыл бұрын

Such an in depth walkthrough, so much to unpack! I’ve watched this scores of times and studied the wiring diagram, but still have a few questions. I understand you run the AC wires from the MP II to the breaker panel through PVC conduit. Should I use the same 6 gauge THHN wire from my Automatic Transfer Switch to the MP II, and should I also use conduit for that run as well? If so, can I use the same conduit to run both sets of wire? (My ATC & breaker panel are close to each other, but a long run from the MP II). I don’t yet have a solar system, but plan to add it in the future. Is there any reason I shouldn’t use the buss bars now when wiring my system to connect just the battery bank, MP II, ATC, and breaker panel? (don’t plan on incorporating a DC to DC charger) My thought is that this will simplify a future solar integration. Thanks so much for all you do!

@PKriger 2 жыл бұрын

I have similar questions. Look at the video again and at 1:17 you can see the conduit for both runs into and out of the inverter. Also at this point it looks to me that the THHN wiring is different gauges. The green ground looks thinnest (10ga?). Black and red hot wires look about the same (8 ga?) and the white neutral looks to be the largest (6 ga?). Using THHN allows you to do this where you can’t with Romex. THHN wires have higher amperage ratings than their Romex equivalents. And it makes sense, as more current (from both hot legs)will return through that white neutral wire.

Dammit! I just installed a multiplus in my 50amp RV with with your manual buss switch . Ugh! Did not know about the multiplus II, I would have gone with that if I did. Oh well. Your recommendations and directions were great for the way I installed.

Well, you could have been like me...ordered the original Multiplus and received it 31 days before the Multiplus II came out...so I can't return the 30A version. Just waiting on the new Multiplus II.....

@@leoreap2703 I'm finding the multiplus single phase is working just fine for me . So I'm just having extra feature envy. If I get another 50 amp trailer I will get the multiplus II split phase.

Nice & useful video !! Very clean schematics diagrams. Are they produced with VISIO? Is there any Gallery of Victron Modules to build or edit those diagrams?

Hi Jared, great video! What materials did you use for the battery shelf? Love the idea for our 28bh

Great video! I’m about to pull the trigger on Victron equipment and I’m curious since I have a Onan on my coach would it be beneficial to go with the Quattro 2 since it has dual AC inputs or use a Multiplus 2 and continue utilizing the factory transfer switch in the coach

Great job on the install! Do you happen to have any pictures of what route you took with the main AC conduits to get from the front bay to back by the main breaker panel? I have a 28BH and would like to do a similar install. Thanks in advance!

I have a 2020 28BH. My breaker panel is behind my couch - in previous years is it at the back of the camper? I’m thinking if I put this right next to the breaker panel then I don’t have to use conduit, right?

Hello, thank you for all you do for us, thank you. We have a 2021, 50AMPS, 8332sb Travel Trailer, and I would like to upgrade the two batteries for a larger 12 Volt, 300ah, 200A BMS. Also, upgrade the WFCO 5110RS 1000w inverter for a 3000w. Is this a unplug one and plug the other work?

Do I still need to install a T fuse if I'm using a Lynx distributor? Also my RV already a small inverter installed to only run our refrigerator, how can I keep that installed and still use my new Victron? Thanks for all of your videos, I've learned a lot!

great video! Im unable to install solar panels in my location because of residencial restrictions. I have 2 questions: 1) My location average temperature is around 85°F, will I never see 3000 watts of continues output power?, 2) Can I program the multiplus-ii like a UPS? The idea is to program the inverter in AES mode, trying to reduce the standby consumption and only activate or invert when there's an outage. thxs

Thank you for your research and insight. Question, I’m building a Skoolie from scratch, can I omit the transfer switch for generator and use shore power connection for shore power or generator? Next, how could I also access the alternator on bus engine to charge batteries too? Ric

Hi Jared very nice info, my toy hauler has a transfer switch but it does not come with a generator from manufacturer. To be able to do same setup, and instead of buying generator, do i need to remove transfer switch or should i leave it for future generator if i need one down the line?

As I type this we are currently at a campground that only provides 30A service and the weather is hot! We have tripped the service breaker twice just running one AC, I have just answered my question of when would I need a set up like this!
