Learning to install a Solar system on my RV | My Experience at the Big Beard Battery Solar Clinic

RV solar installs: 12V or 24V battery system? Todd breaks down multiple options using DC-to-DC converters, backup battery systems, and when it makes sense to move from 12V to 24V (or even 48V) with Joe from @2KrazyKampers

In this episode of Todd's Two-Minute Tech Tip Tuesday, we answer a question that many RV owners face: "Why do my breakers keep tripping?" Todd explains how limited circuits in your RV—especially shared GFCI outlets—can easily overload and trip breakers, even if you're just making coffee while someone uses a hair dryer. Learn how a simple power monitor can help you understand your power usage and avoid those pesky trips.

This week, we’re diving into the Victron Autoformer (Autotransformer) and why it’s a game-changer for those running a dual inverter setup in a 50-amp RV. Todd explains how the Autoformer balances power across both legs, preventing overloads and optimizing your system for high-demand appliances like air conditioners and microwaves. If you're building or upgrading your RV power system, this one's for you.

Whether you're running a 30-amp RV or a 50-amp setup, this video will help you understand the key differences between these two Victron inverters—and which one fits your needs best. From space-saving considerations to subpanel setups, Todd walks you through it all in under 4 minutes.

Should you go with a 12V or 24V battery system? 🤔 From compatibility and wire thickness to inverter loads and solar controller output, Todd breaks down when 12V makes sense—and when 24V is the better choice.
