FLYnGATOR Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Has anyone heard if OTT has switched 2023 production from Xantrex to Victron inverter equipment? I heard a rumor that they had, to enhance compatibility between the inverter and battery Victron Battery Monitor.

dewdev Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 According to this forum in the Oliver Service Center General Knowledge section they are still listing Xantrex 2018 Oliver Elite II, Twin Bed, Hull #354 2024 RAM 1500, 4 x 4; Gas. 5.7L V8 Hemi MDS VVT Torque; 3.21 rear axle ratio Maine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted October 24, 2023 Moderator+ Share Posted October 24, 2023 Oliver is currently still using the Xantrex inverter/charger. At one time I believe they investigated the Victron I/C for improved compatibility but I think that weight or space was an issue.

Ollie-Haus Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 We're just six months in but to date the Xantrex 3000w inverter charger on board has been flawless. The Bluetooth app is easy to use and makes adjustments to the charge rate a simple process. If we have to plug into a 15 or 20 amp outlet the change only takes seconds on the app. I too was toying with the thought of "upgrading" to the Victron down the road but if the Xantrex continues satisfactorily it will stay in place until it dies. I would be interested though to compare the efficiency of each brand and model in the interest of wasting less power while inverting.

Same here, was also thinking of switching to the Victron Multiplus, but 5 months in and so far happy with the Xantrex. Like @Ollie-Haus will keep it until it dies. I do like the Victron multiplies power assist feature, ie. If more power is needed to run devices that is available from shore power, the Multiplus can pull the additional power from the battery bank, and add that power to the under performing shore power connection…..like so beautifully explained in the attached video by Nate from Exploristlife!

Ollie-Haus Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Funny thing is I already have six apps to monitor systems on our Oliver and for the most part they are on the phone just in case. I really don't do very much with them other than take a look once in a while. Having the GX Cerbo sounds nice but the stuff I monkey with the most are already on the Truma control. So like the inverter/charger, it would really just be a replacement. I do love the Victron equipment and also wouldn't be surprised if Oliver continues to move that way in the future. 2 What's today?............. the most frequently asked question as a retiree 🙄 Chris and Stacie Neuhaus Greenfield, Indiana 2021 Ford F350 7.3L Tremor (Redzilla) LE2 #1373 - Ordered 10/21/22 - Delivered 05/10/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolind Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I explored a victron multi plus as a means to run our Truma ac with a single Honda EU2200. I had some concern that the multi plus would not accommodate the in rush of current needed for compressor startup. Does anyone have any experience with this or a similar setup?
