Thanks for the review. I'm referring 2 friends to your site & this review (and all the others). One does not have a built in transfer switch & needs one. He had an issue last Summer & had no idea if he had one nor if he needed one. I assumed he had one when trouble shooting why he had no power. Batteries were DEAD ! His generator wouldn't light things up. After about an hour we got a reading on his battery and after much trouble shooting I discovered why it went dead. My fault for assuming it was built into his inverter that he had installed at a shop.
You're welcome; it often can be hard to figure out what is going on in an RV electrical without spending a ton of time digging into things. :) Not much standardization in the industry. I usually avoid it unless it is a really good friend I know won't hold me accountable. haha
You got that right, sir ! Crawling back behind the bulkhead (at night with a couple of my flashlights) into the spiderweb of wires was a nightmare trying to trace it all out. The lack of using anything but yellow wire didn't help. I added dimmer switches to our new tt and it uses multiple colors of wire without regard to any "common code". Sometimes changing color from one end to the other. Finding a ground wire was a challenge. Thankfully I had my Multi meter and a couple of jumpers. Never would have guessed an ivory colored wire with a yellow stripe would = ground". @@LoveYourRV
Hello from Missouri so you know my friend Gary and Vickie I have been watching you over 9 years now and have used at lest 4 of your hacks and fix it’s thanks for all the information
You should be able to use the manual buttons on the inverter to disable the ignition lockout. Check the manual xantrex.com/library/inverter-chargers/freedom-xc-pro-inverter-charger/freedom-xc-pro-owners-guide-english/
I'm not sure why mine is so high; maybe I was playing around with the settings. Looks like the default is 13.1V. So I'm high and you're low. :) Manual says: "The range is from LBCO voltage + 0.2 to 16, adjusted by 0.1 increments. Selecting OFF or a higher value than the battery’s actual fully-charged voltage level will disable the auto-recovery feature. You may manually reset the inverter/charger when the low battery cut off event occurs." I didn't pay much attention to it since I was always here to manually reset.

Cool! :)
This is awesome... I accidentally hit the ignition lockout and now the inverter doesn't power on> I can't get to my settings. Any thoughts on this?

Looking forward to seeing your new set up. It's been a while since i've looked under the hood see u someday
Yeah, it's a pretty slick-looking system now. :)
Isn’t 13.8 low battery recovery voltage kinda high? I have 3 SOK lithium 100AH in parallel. I have my LBRV at 12.3.

Mines set at 10.5v now
