Fantastic Detail... Thanks
Awesome detailed vid, thanks 🙏
One question; do you have a duel battery setup (not that I saw that) if not does the Anderson for the trailer or camper trailer or possibly a caravan run off the single battery?
I don't have a dual battery setup in the car permanently. The Anderson for the trailer runs off the start battery/alternator, and powers a DC-DC charger that's in the trailer which charges the trailer battery. I've just made a removable module for the back of the car, which includes a fridge, inverter and a slimline LiFePO4 battery, which is charged by its own DC-DC charger, fed from a second Anderson plug that's mounted in the load area. I'll be doing a write-up/video of that setup in the future.
Looks like a big job. But it appears that Toyota kept the possibility of after market modifications in mind when designing the detail of the car.
Seen a video they did so Toyota themselves could plug and play and still charge the same. That and to resolve the issues of hack job work that causes other issues
@@ausguy4385 interesting! Do you mean “still change“, or indeed “charge”?
Better still go to a electrical supply store and get waterproof glued heat shrink.
A 50amp with chassis return...
That junk.... by the time it at the dcdc in the van the voltage drop with that size cable it not 50amp draw no more...
The cable in the kit is 6B&S (13.5mm2). Chassis return gives less loss than running that size cable back to the battery, but even assuming loss would be the same, given a 50 amp draw, voltage drop is only about 0.8v at the trailer. REDARC 25/40/50 amp DC-DC chargers have a rated minimum input voltage of 9 volts. Given a nominal alternator output of 13.8v, that means you'll get at least 13 volts at the charger input when drawing a full 50 amps.
Anyone have a 300 without tye 3rd row?... whats where the seat would have been?
The floor level is lower, and there's a bit of a void.
