Do any of the RV AC Systems have a variable speed fan for pushing the climatized Air? I had a few mini splits in homes and I never saw one that had a variable fan for the climatized air. All were 3 speeds L, M, H and Auto. None shut off after the cycle completed. This is what makes the Cielo Breeze Max T Stat so good it shuts the fan off after the cycle completes if you want that to happen.

I don't think the numbers will change one bit. It cools the Ollie so effortlessly there's not much load in cooling an insulated cooler! ;*))

Have you used it camping? Not Yet Still getting the same numbers? Yes Is it truly quiet or how would you describe it? You can have a conversation with it running For every hour of use on a summer day, how many Ah are used in battery SOC? It only runs a few minutes every 30 minutes or longer. Mine is stored in the Vault in the AC Answers to any of these Qs would be helpful. Also, did you keep the fiberglass platform that OTT had mounted behind the 14x14" A/C opening? Yes I don't believe our hull has that add-on. I'm trying to finalize if this is the right purchase and is now the right time to buy the Turbro Greenland which is now at $1,275 plus tax. Except in warranty and perhaps temp range, the Pioneer and Greenland appear to be the same. minutes or so. Only you can make that call Sorry I can't give you more info.

Got the Secondary Solar Power System finished. Works well.

I watched a video and it indicated the amperage will be limited to the highest rating of the Victron. I think that's why you never get full power? In any case I ordered the bigger 100/50 and am exchanging my 100/30 thank you very much for replying.

I miscalculated. I know big surprise! I need a 100/50 for 450 watts of solar. I figured it using the panel voltage not the battery volts originally. It must be Friday.......

I have a mini split at my house and I bought the Cielo for it. I use the scheduler and let it run with the fan like a normal mini split in the day but at night it automatically switches over to a different mode I set up where the fan shuts off with compressor. It's a great little Thermostat. You can set up multiple modes with different names within Comfy or Comfy Max and set it up to use them at set times and days.

@SeaDawg I checked the Polarity. Waiting on the Panel to see the length cable extensions needed. Thank you.

Ordered the ZoupW 450 Watt Solar Suitcase and a Victron 100/20 Bluetooth MPPT. The Zamp Outlet has a fuse under the Streetside Bed. It was not Installed. Waiting to recieve the Suitcase to see how long to order the cables with reverse zamp connector.

Hi Everyone, I am interested in adding a portable Solar System to the Ollie 2. I have the roof mounted Zamp setup already this will supliment that. How should I go about it? thx w

@Ronbrink yer a genius. Thank you!

@Ronbrink did you mention there's a way to have the fan continue running for a few minutes after compressor shuts off?

Thanks for posting this Thermostat @Ronbrink. I would have never found it without your original thread. Here is the way the Pioneer cycles in the Ollie 2. It is in an A/C space kept at 80 degrees with the Pioneer set to 76 for testing.

I went ahead and started a thread for this Smart Thermostat. I just installed it for my Pioneer Inverter and it works like a charm. Fan shuts down with the compressor. A wonderful little gadget. Thank you folks for showing us this. All I did was use the USB port in the Ollie for power and it was a "Breez" to get connected. Thanks for schooling us on the comfort modes too.

Turn off AC Breaker and Remove Furnace Fuse Step 1 Remove Interior Trims and Screws. Step 2 Remove the 4 Mounting bolts from Inside cabin. Step 3 Take a picture of the wiring Step 4 Disconnect all wiring to the Control Box and disconnect drain hose Step 5 use a little Braid fishing line up on the roof to cut the seal on 1 corner of the AC mounting gasket. Step 6 Break loose the unit by picking up on the Braid loosened corner then working your way to each corner until unil is no longer attached Step 7 Remove old rooftop unit Step 8 Clean the residue from the old gasket with any type of oil even vegetable or olive will work, Scrub the oil off after. Step 9 set the roof top unit in place. All the foam seal and leveling is attached don't overthink it just mount it. Hole is perfect size already. Step 10 Open Dometic Furnace and use a continuity tester to ID the 2 wire from the Furnace. They were blue on the Furnace but changed to blue and green somewhere before arriving up at the interior hole on my Ollie Step 11 Remove Dometic Thermostat and ID the wires to the Interior hole. I had a 3 wire Green, Red, White. Step 12 wire 2 wires from Furnace to Red and white going to ThermoStat. Push the wires into the channel the wires are in up top to get them out of the way Step 13 Cut off drain pipe even with opening. No longer needed Step 14 Eye up 4 mounting bolt holes in the square hole and make them even spaced to each corner. Mine used the 2 inch one. Step 15 Apply the correct thickness foam seal to the Unit or bottom bracket. Step 16 Mount the bracket make be sure to feed the wires through the big opening. Step 17 Connect the connectors and hook up power wire Step 18 Torque the bolts to 3.5 lbs Step 19 Install the trims Step 20 Install the batteries in the remote. Turn on the breaker and fire it up Refrain from using the LED lights for at least a day the Joy of the New AC and then the lights will be too much for your body to take in 1 sitting! Get a 2 wire Heat Only Thermostat for the Furnace. I will post the one I got later. Wire it up and install the fuse. Enjoy I may of forgotten a few things but you Geniuses can help me with that. ;^)) The Interior trim is much smaller than the Dometic, There will be 2 screw holes showing, I am thinking just get 2 screws with finish washers and fill the hole. Let me know if there's an easier fix.

I have the Xantrex XC 3000 as shown in pics and 2 LifeBlue 200 AH Batteries. Here is with AC Compressor running and the lower wattage is compressor cycled off and fan running. It will drop down to near 500 watts as it cycles. It starts up around 200 watts and ramps up to 720 and settles in a few seconds just under 700 watts on start.

It has a DeHumidifier Mode. Have not tried it yet.

The New Blue and White XC 3000 is installed and communicates with the remote panel perfectly. It's quieter than the previous one. The Bluetooth is great and makes setup easy as can be on the App. Now that turning it on and off is easy my batteries hardly use anything each day when not in use.

I installed the Pioneer A/C. Went very smooth. They make it easy. All the foam insulating collar and vibration pads are adhered to the unit. Just clean up the residue from the old unit and install it. Much quieter than the Dometic. Draws anywhere from 64 watts on fan and 500 to 700 watts when the compressor kicks on. Runs effortlessly on my inverter with no shore power.

I tried it and it did not "Power Assist". Contacted Xantrex they said the XC does not support power assist only the SW models do.

Is the below search info below not correct? I am thinking you would set the Xantrex to only input 15 amps from shore power or generator then it would kick in and provide the next 10 amps or so with a 3000 watt inverter? How would the Xantrex know the difference between shore power and generator? Yes, Xantrex has a feature similar to Victron's Power Assist. Xantrex Freedom SW inverters and chargers include a "Generator Support Mode" that enables the unit to assist a generator when AC loads exceed its capacity. This functionality allows the inverter/charger to provide additional power from the batteries to supplement the generator, similar to how Victron's Power Assist uses battery power to supplement a limited input. Here's a more detailed explanation: Victron's Power Assist: This feature allows you to adjust the input current to a level lower than the output power without affecting output power. It allows the inverter/charger to use battery power to supplement a limited input like shore power or a generator. Xantrex's Generator Support Mode: This mode is specifically designed for RVs and boats. When using a generator, it allows the inverter/charger to draw power from the batteries to assist the generator when AC loads exceed its capacity. Key Difference: While both achieve the same goal of supplementing a limited power source, Xantrex's Generator Support Mode is more focused on generators and RV applications, whereas Victron's Power Assist can be used with various power sources.

I put a 32 inch Samsung Q60 a few back with no issues. Didn't change the existing mount. Just a simple plug and play.

Good morning Folks. I have a friend who has a car lift in his Mancave at Treasure Coast Vault and we are going to use that to lift the units on and off. I am giving him the Dometic for his Race Car Trailer for installing the unit. I ordered a 2 wire Honeywell battery powered thermostat for the Gas Heater so that I can give him the control box for the Dometic. I am thinking the drain will prolly be abandoned.

Let's just go with Xantrex Customer Service is Excellent now
