why do you use a water heater instead of a tankless? Do you plan to use shore power or the heat from the engine?

 

[rronning84]

I wil be using a lot of shore power. Also with as cold as the water will be that is coming in to the system it still would not be hot after a pass through the tankless heater.

 

[59apache]

sounds logical. With a heat exchanger you can use the heat from the motor for hot water and conversely with a circulation pump you can warm up your engine.

 

[rronning84]

Thats not a bad idea.

Just ordered me a new 6000 watt (12000 peak) inverter and automatic 3 way power transfer switch for the camper.

AIMS 30 AMP automatic 3 way power transfer switch (Shore, Gen Set, Inverter) and a Royal 6000/12000 inverter with hardwire kit that will be hooked to my 4 Optima Blue Tops.

Nice!

something like that was on my wishlist....but the affordable one was to small, the others out of budget and none has these options. So i've decided to use DPDT switch, works but not that comfortable.

This is the one I bought for the 109 camper. Got it off of Amazon. 24 volt input helps and the truck can run it when going down the road.

I like that one. Mine is set up to charge off of the engine also.

I got the cot closet pretty much finished today and got two of my Optima Blue Tops in.

Yeah, but I don't have that fancy dual volt alt.

 

[rronning84]

That thing was a great score. Its a direct no mods bolt on.

I finally got the formic laid down on the countertop's and the table.

Also have my 1600 watt heater installed and it cranks out the heat.

Moved all the controls for my generator

up on the closet wall for ease of access.

Got my fridge in place and chilling.

[59apache]
