I have a Xantrex 3000 watt freedom inverter/charger with auto gen start. I also have 4 Trojan T-105 6 volt batteries. The inverter would handle it easy and but I don't like to put that kinda drain on my battery bank. I didn't think it was that many watts. I can still run it when I have my...

LOL, wow, I had no idea that It had an electric hot water heater, nice! I can just run this off my inverter and save my propane for the furnace. Thanks guys! Grey

I have a clear light switch that illuminates red when turned on just under my sink in my Cyclone 3210. it does not illuminate when just running 12v but illuminates when switched up and the 110 is on. Anybody know what this does? I could not find it in my owners manual. Grey

Can you post pics of what you did? You mounted it above the door under the TV? Also does you AUX surround sound still work? You just ran the RCA's from the DVD player under the TV to the audio head unit? Grey

Thanks for the info. I was hoping to get something to go right into the same hole, but can't find anything. I guess I could put the Blu-Ray player in the cabinet above the entertainment system, but I don't think it will fit.......

Anybody?? I can't find anything ot buy.....Should I change it to a Blu ray player?

Does anyone have the freezing problem on the VS755? I found one thread where someone reported keeping it cooler and it didn't freeze. I don't really want to sit there with a fan on a DVD player that is dangling out of my Entertainment Center. Does anyone know of a replacement for this...

Well, I got the hauler back and the battery bank and inverter worked awesome during the whole trip! I don't even think I need solar.....The battery bank would just not get low, around 12v was as low as it would get running the TV's lights furnace and everything all night! Here are some...

Yeah, that sounds like a better idea. Do you think the 200 amp fuse is good enough for my dune trip? I'm not running the A/C or Microwave....Also what size breaker do you think would be good? The manual says 400 amp max. The biggest I could find on the net was about 150amp.

Should there be a sub-panel? is it necessary with this inverter, if I'm not going to use the A/C's or Microwave? http://www.xantrex.com/documents/Inverter-Chargers/Freedom-SW-3000/Freedom%20SW%203000%20InvChg%20Owners%20Guide%20(975-0545-01-01_Rev-A).pdf...

Well, Camping World blew out my 400 amp fuse by turning on the A/C. The service manager called me and told me. They also said did you consider putting in a subpanel? I told them the guy that did the appraisal said I wouldn't need one if I didn't care to isolate from the two A/C's. I said I...

Looks good, the Xantrex I got was soo heavy it had to be installed on the floor of the compartment. I will make a thread on mine also. It is getting installed for me though. I did buy all the wires, fuse, wire the batteries and stuff though. The installers are going to make all my outlets...

Well, I wired all the batteries in. Camping World is installing the inverter to my specs. I went and checked on it on Saturday and all looked good. They have to call Onan tomorrow to get some info on installing the automatic generator start. I forgot to take pics, but I will when I get back...

Another question....If you look at the pics on the earlier pages of my battery box.....It has the holes on the corners to allow cables to come in. It's not a truly selaed box, do I have to totally seal it and vent it? Grey

I got these Inverter cables http://www.solar-electric.com/49075.html and this fuse... http://www.solar-electric.com/cf400ampfuwi.html

Is this the fuse I would need? http://www.solar-electric.com/fb-400t.html

How long did it take you to get your cables from Genuine Dealz? I see you are in CA, I am too, hpoing to have them by Wed, but that probably won't happen since they are in GA. Where are you going Prez weekend? If the weather is nice We're going to Sand Mtn NV, if it's bad weather we will...

Nice, I ordered from the Genuine Dealz site. I will have all my cables for wiring in series/parallel. I also got the post for grounding the battery bank from genuine dealz, and it was half price of the Jamestown place. Thanks for the help! I wanted to order the inverter cables too, but since...

I got out there today and got the old battery trays out. I also took all the old 6 gauge wire out. There was black on some of the ends like it had a lil too much draw on them and they got hot. What size do the terminals on the back of my Perko switch look? I am going to get the wire and...

Yes I am leaving the option for expansion in the future. I didn't want to skimp on the inverter, then have to buy another in a year because I had more ideas. The manual says max 400 amp fuse.

I got the Xantrex freedom SW 3000 inverter with the automatic gen start and system control panel. Later down the raod I am going to add solar, probably 300w. I talked to the guy over at AM solar, I liked what he had to say, so I will probably go that route. They are found here...

I have absolutely no other options......

I'm not going to have very much amps, basically two TV's. The inverter is the Xantrex Freedom sw 3000. I don't have it yet it should be here Wednesday, but the manual here...

Thanks for the info Porthole. What size shrink tubing do I need if I go with the #2 gauge wire on the batteries? Also what end lugs fit on to the Trojan T-105 battery terminals? Thanks for the help again! Grey

Nice job. I am going to go get some welding wire #2 gauge to wire the batteries together, and go to the switch. I'm also going to do Series/Parallel. How much wire did it take you? I'm going to go pick up my wire on monday. I'm gonna have to go back out and do some measuring. I went to...

Mine does have the hydraulic stuff to the left in the compartment. Looks like I might have to do the same thing you did......

Has anyone wired four 6 volt batteries in series/parrallel? Like here.... http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/yago88.html Is this a good idea? If I wire them to the 1 spot on my switch and use them as one big 12 volt battery with 450 amp hrs? Grey

I got my 4 Trojan T-105's and the Dyna box. Gonna go try to take all the other batteries and trays out and get these installed. Do I have to cut a hole in this tray and connect it to my vent hose? here are pics.... Grey

They are all on the first page.........

Anyone considering buying a Ford with the 6.4l Navistar/International motor. i would think again. Go take a look in some of the Ford forums and read the horror stories. I wish I would have! Now the 2011 6.7l motor is actaully made by Ford. Hopefully that is a solid motor. Grey

Your first comment makes no sense in realtion to this topic. If my truck dies on the highway and leaves me stranded on the side of the road do I think it's bad? Yeah I do. If something like this happened to you I'm pretty sure you would feel the same way. but you probably haven't spent 60K on...

Well today I was driving home from getting one of my quads dynoed in Reno and all the sudden my truck just shut off at about 65 mph on the highway. I barely was able to get to the shoulder without getting hit. The computer said I had 35 miles until empty and I was waitin for a turn off but...

I just bought the Xantrex Freedom SW 3000 inverter with the system Control Panel and Automatic Generator Start. I want to install it myself but. Don't want to jack anything up. I have electrical experience and I'm pretty handy, but I also don't have a ton of time to do it with work, kids and...

Ok, how would I wire it then to put it on one switch. Like just on the one position? Or I guess I could just wire it to both and always leave it on all.........Oh and I bought the Dyno 4 gc battery box with starps. I didn't really like the white but it looks solid and was priced reasonably.

Well I got four Trojan T-105's today. If I wire two pairs in series and connect to the two way switch the same way it is currently hooked up I will still get 12V when the switch is on all right? then a set of two when on one or two? Does the terminal in the third pic just look like a place to...

Thanks for the input guys! Well, I have decided not to go with this kit. I have been looking at the Xantrex ProSine 2.0 or Magnum MMSG and then getting a 125w kit with the MPPT from AM solar. The MMSG has the flow through power concept I think. Does anyone know if the Xantrex does? Anybody have...

I'm in the process of going to 2 Trojan 6v, inverter and solar in the future. I went to go measure the area next to my generator for a Norco battery box and finally took the cover off of the one black box to the far left and found it was another battery....I bought the hauler from a repo auction...

I'm wanting to add a solar panel kit to my 2008 Cyclone 3210. I only use it dry camping at the dunes with the toys. I find my family using the genereator ALOT to watch movies and I don't have an inverter. Does this kit look good? It's mainly to watch movies and maybe run a lap top. 1500W...

I have a High Pointe microwave model EM925BSC in my 2008 Cyclone 3210. I have verified it has power, but after running it for a min or two the display goes out then it does nothing. If you let it sit there long enough it will come back on then work fine. No breakers are tripped, no blown fuses...

I just bought the one you are talking about in Winters........... Grey
