Two red lights on the Hughes Autoformer! Now what?
Переглядів 2267 місяців тому
After several failures all at the same time we are on the repair road. Today we swap out the built in surge protector on the Hughes Autoformer. No too difficult, I think anyone slightly handy can do this job easily. After much thought I believe the ultimate cause of failure was my powered electric cord reel. That is a future repair we have not got to yet.

I have a setup question for a class c motorhome power addition setup. What is the best method of wiring to keep setup more "default wiring setup?" I'll have the built in 12v system setup, but I want to add a 24v battery setup with inverter. Should I take the line going to the inverter breaker and bring this as my "AC in" on the 24v inverter? Then bring the "AC out" on the 24v inverter to the inverter breaker in the panel?
Thank you this is the best explanation and demonstration I’ve ever seen for why you would want to use two inverters instead of one
@@orangecrocks Thank you for the positive feedback. I have quite a few victron videos.
Thank you this is the best explanation and demonstration I’ve ever seen for why you would want to use two inverters instead of one
Thank you Sir, it looks delicious! You answered all the questions I had on using the convection setting. Gonna try it now for the first time. 😊
@@alewisscott hope it turns out well for you. I find it very simple. Enjoy!
Hi Gary and Carol. Nice park, thanks for sharing.
@@CowboyBikerAdventures Thanks for watching Don, Merry Christmas 🎅🏻
@@RVLIVINGLIFE Merry Christmas
I spotted a drone at the end 😂
@@OurEndeavor that’s my new hobby!
Best Pull in sight we have ever been to in Florida.
Hello, Thank you for coming to the premiere, please give us a thumbs up 👍
left a slick type film on the wife and I that we didn't like
@@dadams19111 that is the first time I have heard of that so googled “on the go water softener leaves a thin film on skin”. There was quite a bit of info on that. Seems when going from hard water to soft your skin feels different with the lack of soap scum hard water leaves behind. We have used it for quite a while now and we love it. The appliances are better off as well and the shower glass is much cleaner. Everyone is different though. Hope you find something that works for you.
Did it catch on fire because I’m terrified because i have a normal surge protector
No it did not catch on fire. The reason we use surge protectors are to prevent fires.
@ thanks for letting me know because I have anxiety and austim and everytime I look something up that has burn spots on it I unplug it i know I’m being paranoid but i know my dad wouldn’t get something that wouldn’t catch on fire but I was just terrified so what happened if the surge protector stopped working does it burn out or it just stop working…?
Gary, which model Victron inverter chargers are you using
Hello. Thanks for asking. There is a direct link to the inverters in the description as well as all the other components I used.
👍
👍 👍
Great Explanation and directions thank you !!
Hope it works for you as well as it does for us.
Is filter needed for using the softener for just car washing?
I would imagine there is some difference. I do know some people use the soft water provided by this system for washing vehicles but I think you should contact the manufacturer to find the real answer
You forget to mention, the exact terminology for that function from VICTRON is "Power Assist". To find in the manual of your Multiplus or Quattro. 🤨
That is true, thanks for that
Going to give " flat " a try, at home settings. Love the trees! 🤯
Great! Let me know how it works out for you!
Thanks for sharing!!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
if I can give you some good advice,. you need to get a new or alternative camera with a gimbal to achieve better quality video. I like your content its just harder to watch when its shaky and foggy. otherwise great video, keep making videos !
Thank you for the advice, I will consider it.
I love this dog❤
Thank you for this informative video. IF I only was to use 50A shore power or Generator OR drive to Europe where we do have 240 volt everywhere I could get by without the switch and fiddle with the Victron programming ? correkt ? And all my panels , outlets are now 240 volt IF I use L1 and L2 ? How do we make sure we have proper ground and security ? Any change to Ground and neutral in inverter or fuse panels ? TIA.
The switch I installed is not necessary. I only installed it for convenience. You can just use the wiring diagram for split phase in the video.
@@RVLIVINGLIFE Thanks.... a follow up... I watch your videos and try to relearn technical school from wayyyy back.. 1980. On your final solution, you can go parallel and get either 30 amp or 50 amp from shore. Then both panels only see 110volt.... When you go 50 amp split phase and reprogram inverter... each panel then get both hot L1 and L2 ? But you still only use one leg pr panel as it is wired that way with circuit breakers etc ?
Does Starlink have a support email or phone I can call to see if my obstructions will cause an issue. Currently the app says some interruptions, but what does some mean?
@@Ramdinohikes Starlink has great customer support through their website. Not sure how good it would be if you don’t own it yet. You can try it, Starlink is fully refundable.
You monitized installation instructions?
Yes, like many videos, this video was time consuming and a lot of work. if you don't want to support the channel feel free to block me so you don't see it.
Where did you get the fitting for your grill
There is a link in the description of the kit I purchased
Wow ,see does great! Like she enjoys it. Such a good girl 😊
@@lifewithlennie she does enjoy it and is always willing.
The negative watts is the inverter sending power to the grid. The inverter has to raise the voltage to assist, so when the air conditioner first cut off, it hadn't lowered it's voltage yet.
@@travismartinson1813 makes sense. The interesting thing is if you watch other videos of me heavily testing the victron stuff it has never gone negative before. Since it did it this time I left it in the video just to show it doing that.
never pull your air brake when going thru
As a former truck driver with a fair amount of border experience, I respectfully have to disagree. I have been told by the agent to put my brakes on in the past. Customs officers wants your engine off and brakes on.
Enjoy relax and have a great trip
Yes, thank you
Wow that was short and sweet I would love to RV IN Canada one of these summers, but I’ve seen and heard so many horror stories of Americans being hassled at the border that it has turned me off a bit. The fact that I’m an Arizona native apparently guarantees I will be searched. I guess they think everyone from Arizona is attempting to carry a gun over the border and I do travel with firearms so I would have to secure them on the US side before I go. It was nice to see my German shepherd isn’t the only one that sits up and watches where I’m going 80% of the time. Thanks for sharing your border crossing. 👍👊😎
There are simple obvious rules to go by that you can download right from the border control website. You can easily rent a storage locker for anything you can not cross with. I would not hesitate to come to Canada. You will love it here. It is a beautiful, safe and friendly country. Lexi loves the RV life. Not real excited about travel days but she loves it hen we open the door in a new place to explore.
@@RVLIVINGLIFE absolutely
@marketshare3969 you can rent first to learn I've had a lot of tribulations
Where did you get the rack set? 😊
Thanks for asking, there are a few links in the description.
Thanks for the video my unit was exact same one. This helped immensely took less than an hour. 👍👍
@@capodad2u Happy to hear it worked for you. 👍
Hopefully one day soon we will travel to Canada. Safe travels
Thank you. Safe Travels to you as well.
Just wanted to thank you for making this video, I watched it about 10 times and when I installed the Coleman Soft Start today everything went smoothly, Once again, thank you very much 😃
Happy to hear it went well. Thank you for your positive comments.
Hi Gary, this video was incredibly informative. I have a unique system I setup but have not yet had both inverters on at same time as i wanted to be certain I wasn’t going to mess anything up. I have 2 Victron inverters one is multiplus ii 12/3000 2x-20 the second one is a 24/3000. Yes, I have 2 battery banks, one 12v and one 24v. I have read that to stop Victron in parallel the unit must be same units. Which mine are not. Would your configuration work for me?
Interesting question. This is only an opinion but I would think that because the inverters are different it likely will not work in parallel. Too run both inverters at once I would consider splitting the power panel into two separate panels and wire each system separately.
Hey Gary and Carol, glad you see you back in the US for a little bit.
Thanks 👍It was a short but fun visit. 7 days with Lennie and Angela of @lifewithlennie
Heading the opposite direction at the end of August... Will see if it's as easy. Doubt it :)
You should be fine, just tell them you know us!
Smooth.... 😎
And Easy!
Thanks for the video. Convinced me to buy the Coleman Mach product. Installation went smooth, the Coleman instructions made it easy with clear directions. Only downside was my local RV dealer took me to the cleaners on the price. Should have bought online.
@@EICOPhotography I do find buying anything from RV dealers is usually way over priced. Amazon seems the best way to go, but I have learned researching all options is the way to go.
Hope you guys are having a great trip -loving my life in the Cove!!
Yes we are, we love the cove and miss it a lot. Especially card Bingo lol
Solid video. I have to ask, how many amp hours and watt hours is your battery bank? Also how many watts of solar do you have up top? Just ordered 2x of the soft starts for our Colemans and have been giving some serious thought in upgrading our batts/solar to run ACs without genny. Thanks!
Thanks for the positive comments. We have 800 amps of renogy batteries and 2 425 watt solar panels. The solar was an after thought as we were headed to Quartzsite for a few weeks and decided to add solar. I explain more about it here ua-cam.com/video/qybpfHfq0nM/v-deo.htmlsi=lU2DkjWivhDrJUhx
@@RVLIVINGLIFE I appreciate the reply!
Sandhill cranes.
Thanks! Just did the install on my unit without any issues. I was half way through when I realized I was doing it from memory after watching your video and probably should at least glance at the instruction manual. Some of the best instructional videos seem to come from Canadians. (But then I'm slightly biased)
@@johnconnor818 Thanks for the positive comments. I am glad it went well.
Thank you for demonstrating the power draw with and without the Coleman mach and microAir soft starts. We have a 3000w Victron inverter with 600AH lithium. Ran the microAir soft start on our previous AC jwhic just lost refrigerant. I put the new Mach 10 iin and I decided to go with Coleman. The comparison between the two different soft starts was what I was interested in. We had no problems running our AC for three and four hours with the micro air. So You inspired confidence so I went ahead and purchased a Coleman and am installing it tomorrow. Looking forward to similar results of as you.
Hope everything goes well. It is a fairly easy installation.
Can you help me find a source for the clear high heat tubing you are using from the AQ unit to the reservoir? All I can find is max 150 degrees. Thanks
I believe I bought it on Amazon. There is silicone tubing that can handle 500F. I am not sure this is the one I purchased but they do have high heat clear tube. amzn.to/4cOpR6K
Lovely to see, she is calling her pack. It is instinctive and lovely to see.
Great job..I am about to do mine. I liked your process of changing out the fluid compared to some others I've seen. Thanks for the post...Keep RVing Tiffin Allegro Bus 43qgp.
Thank you, have fun!
We had dobbies that would “sing” when the ambulance would go by, not the police or fire, just the ambulance.
That is amazing, Lexi only ever did this once and I was happy to capture it.
I set my starlink up in a hurry late one night next to my RV down in Yuma, the first 24 hrs it self pointed straight up, then corrected itself to point north northwest. I’ll have to try the straight up technique next time I’m up in the Arizona white mountains right now where I stay I have to put it on a 12ft foot pole to shoot it over some trees. I do have a fairly wide clearing where straight up my work and keep me off a ladder and pone. 👊👍😎
If you have any obstructed view I would definitely experiment with flat vs tilted and see your own results. I can definitely picture times that flat would be better.
German Shepherd, the smartest dog i’ve ever owned, except for I just finally broke her from chasing wild Elk in northeastern Arizona
I love Lexi. The best German Shephard I ever had!❤
