RV Electrical System Solar and Lithium Battery Upgrade - Start-to-Finish Guide

This video will show you, start-to-finish, how we upgraded an existing electrical system in a 30A Travel Trailer.

In this DIY 30A RV electrical install, we cover a wide range of topics, so we have included chapters at the bottom of this description if you need to find a specific part of the install.

This comprehensive tutorial will cover installing a 270aH Battle Born GC3, wiring a Victron Lynx Distributor with a BMV-712 Smart Battery Monitor and master disconnect switch, replacing the lead acid battery with a battery relocation kit, installing 800W of solar panels connected to a solar charge controller, wiring a Victron MultiPlus 2k and splice kit so we can run 120V outlets without being connected to shore power, and alternator charging using Anderson connectors. Each chapter will also include a segment on programming and testing each component so you can best understand your system.
