Not according to the Eco Cool/Gree user manual. ECO-COOL_Users_Manual.pdf Am I reading this wrong?

@Ronbrink From what I understand, they all use R-32 due to Gree being the manufacturer for them all and then they are distributed under different labels depending on market. Which is great since R-410A is going to be retired and R-32 is much more efficient. Thanks for making us aware of an exciting new option. @Shawna and Scott From what I have seen it will work perfectly due to having almost the exact same footprint. Curious to see pics of first install on an Oliver. TST-RV-GC15K-User_manual_230707.pdf PPI-SG-GREE-002.pdf Best, Mike

Looking forward to someone installing the Atmos 4.4 (Gree, Tosot, Eco cool) unit. Looks great from what I read on the Sprinter van thread. Compared to the Dometic PII it has almost the same footprint and weight. 2 1/2 inches longer in the back. No condensate pump or line connection (drains onto the roof) Remote control and WiFi thermostat available. Should make for easy install. Also, app controlled. Quite a bit more efficient on shore power and batteries. Very quiet! $1350 shipped. Not including soft start if needed. (Single or small battery bank). Or cheaper depending on which brand you get off of Amazon, etc. Definitely interested. @Ronbrink and others let us know how the install goes. Best, M Links for unit introduction and installation:

Shades are spoken for. Mike

@BigTexas Mine does have an easy start installed but I am not knowledgeable enough to know whether the black small capacitor is related to it or not. I took pics to order the spares like you stated, hope it helped. Most likely a fan motor will be my first purchase. My Dometic Penguin II 13.5K has run continuously for 6 years, summer and winter, heat and air. It has been very dependable so far, albeit loudly. Looking at serviceable parts at this point and then replacement when the time comes.

Soon after I purchased my 2018 E2 there was a collective warranty replacement sent out for the window shades. I guess some let a bit of speckled light through. I got mine and never swapped them out because it did not bother me. I decided today to do the swap. There is a little less light shown through and the color/material seems a little better made. Saying all this to say I have a set of window treatments available to anyone who needs them. Local pickup only due to size. Mounting hardware is available too. OLD BLINDSNEW BLINDS

So the unit is over 6 years old, thought it might be time for some maintenance. 😁 Also, making some high pitched screams (fan motor?) occasionally. and not cooling as well sometimes. Took the shroud off by removing 4 phillips (easy). Found a birds nest from early this spring, I guess, 2 hatchlings didn’t make it. Probably hatched while in FL. The nest and eggs look fairly fresh. Took out the big and small capacitors (5/16 screw that is needlessly hard to reach), both tested WNLs (Big silver one 55/15 +/- 5% micro farads and small black one 43-53 micro farads). Fan shaft had some wiggle to it but pretty tight. Maybe a bearing went bad? Not sure if it was a good idea but sprayed the shaft toward the motor with some CRC power lube. Thought maybe it would help give me some time before replacing fan motor. Got pics of everything for later if I have to order. Cleaned the coils with some mild soap detergent and low pressure water from hose. Let everything dry, cleaned the shroud and put everything back together. No noise and air coming out is definitely colder or I am just enjoying it more after being in the morning sun! Hope it helps someone tackle their maintenance. Really not that hard. Best, Mike

For anyone interested in integrating Seelevel II sensors into the Victron system. The kit includes a tank sensor that you don’t need to use but I couldn’t find the custom made cable elsewhere. Link: https://www.vanlifeoutfitters.com/store/seelevel-709-n2k-pm-tank-monitor-kit-for-cerbo-gx/

Approximately 11 3/4” L and 1 3/4” ID. I used a piece of wood that I spray painted white. No more HDPE laying around. Amazon link: https://a.co/d/bxglZqB Best, M

Used this… works great at well. https://www.hodgesmarine.com/soum5-7a-4342-8-southco-magnetic-door-amp-window-holder-proud.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwjqWzBhAqEiwAQmtgT_O4-HN0s5M1liP7fmVfmVecLki9siUfmoB1nRFs7Tt5uhGItsAC_BoCxC4QAvD_BwE

Not sure who to give credit for this but love it. Simple, convenient mod.

Simple install. Seamless integration.

I have been using this one for over a year. Used on bikes, motorcycles, lawn mower, Oliver, truck, and cars. It has been wonderful. 4 presets, put a quick chuck on it, hit start and done. Accuracy is better than most, especially on auto tires. Very portable and easy to use. Last a long time with extended time battery. https://a.co/d/fnRidVo https://locknlube.com/collections/air-tools/products/tire-inflator-adapter# https://locknlube.com/products/locknflate-locking-air-chuck If using with the Milwaukee you want OPEN option. $150 at Northerntool.com Quick chuck

The Wildpeaks don't just look tough, they are tough. If anyone has the rare opportunity to plug one I want to hear about their wrists and forearms afterwards. No comparison between my old beloved Michelins and the Falkens. I think I have said this before but I thought I was going to have to get the drill out after battling to get the professional sized T-handle reamer through the tire. Finally, after a good bit of sweat with all 200 lbs of me jumping up and down and around the tire I got it through. I could plug a Michelin LTX A/T without taking it off the truck. Just sayin'. I guess I should clarify that was the Falken Wildpeak A/Ts that I was working on, not the H/Ts. But the same HD badging is on both. Although the Wildpeak A/T 35s on the Tundra have the added Duraspec, which is 3-ply sidewall construction. There is a reason they have a huge following in the overland crowd. Next set on the Tundra will be the R/Ts and I will have tried the whole Wildpeak line. I paid $764 for (4) H/Ts shipped off of eBay.

The Falken Wildpeak line is hard to beat for price and durability. https://www.falkentire.com/wildpeak/ht02 The WILDPEAK H/T02 redefines the Highway Terrain tire, delivering industry-leading performance and durability all year long. Featuring rigid tread blocks and a rugged upper sidewall, the H/T02 is built to meet and exceed the demands of today’s pickup truck drivers, from construction site activities to towing and hauling duties. Advanced 4D Nano Design and 3D Canyon Sipe Technology demonstrate Falken’s commitment to excellence, and provide the H/T02 with enhanced all-season drivability. After rigorous tests using the latest ¾-ton diesel pickups, all LT-size offerings of the WILDPEAK H/T02 earned an “HD” badge on the tire’s sidewall, highlighting the Heavy Duty construction with which these tires were built. For those demanding durability and longevity from their truck tires, the H/T02 is in a class of its own.

Nice. I have some Mopeka's coming tomorrow as well for the propane tanks. They also play nice with the Victron system, excited to have most everything going through the Victron VRM. Always switching between apps to monitor things. Still have a separate app for TPMS, LevelMate Pro, EasyTouch RV thermostat, and my Grilla Grill. Ha! A lot of batteries to change but no more gateways to deal with or use up energy. Do you find the Mopeka propane sensors accurate?

Installed these today game changer. Simple connection to Victron system. Now I can get rid of the gateway for SensorPush in the attic. Seamless integration with VRM for remote monitoring. Have to get a couple more for the MP2 inverter and battery bank bay.

@rich.dev If you go their website and pick flat mount it is under the mount drop down menu. https://www.trioflatmount.com/contact-us M

I looked into this as well definitely an option with the LiFePO4 batteries.

It was a good idea but unfortunately after testing with MPPT off no difference in results. Battery SOC 50%. I also tried turning off the Epoch BMS and changing some other settings to no avail. I know you had shown some interest in the EPOCH batteries. This link has some helpful insight to their Pros and Cons. I still think they are great but there are some things you need to know about them. I am still using the Victron comms. Link: https://panbo.com/update-epochs-460ah-battery-what-weve-learned/

So went out for lunch and the Orion seemed to be maxing out at around 15 amps. Still double than what I was getting yesterday. The cool thing is I figured out how to remotely monitor the Orion through the Ekrano WIFI instead of the online VRM which is hard to see what exactly each device is doing. But if I go to the Victron Connect app and go to VRM => devices. Each device shows up individually through the Ekrano display, which is nice for monitoring while traveling down the road. The bluetooth direct connect does not work for me in TV, just out of range while driving. I wonder if the Epoch battery BMS which is controlling the charging may be limited charging? 2016 Tundra's 150 amp alternator may be getting tired? Mike

Voila! Immediately went up to 31 amps at idle then settled down at around 14 amp. Voltage output went up from 13.5 to 13.9 as set. @Ronbrink Thanks again. About to head out on the road to do a test run to see how well I can monitor it remotely.

That makes sense. I will give it a try!

Curious to what others with the Orion XS 50 amp 12/12 installed are using for their charge settings and engine shutoff settings. I have mine wired with the TV battery negative to my negative bus which goes to chassis ground and house Epoch battery negative. The positive IN is obviously from TV using 4 awg wire. Orion OUT goes to hot bus bar in rear. My voltage number IN/OUT are fine but the Amps are staying low between 7-11 maybe 14 for a bit on the highway yesterday. Just trying to problem solve. Used 4 AWG for all connections. 2 60 amp manual breakers Thinking about running hot ORION OUT to main pos bus in trailer instead of the rear one and taking neg directly to main chassis ground from TV battery and Orion instead of using neg busbar. Any thoughts @MAX Burner what kind of numbers are you seeing on your trip? Best, Mike
