Over the last few weeks I've been diligently working nearly every evening after work and three weekends in a row adding a few upgrades and an inverter to my recently acquired AF992.
I pulled the inverter out of my Nash 17k that I sold back in March. I planned on installing it in the ORV 24RLS I bought to replace the Nash, then the RV market went nuts so I decided to sell the 24RLS and my AF811 and get a different AF truck camper, and be done with 2 RVs.
The inverter/charger is a Victron Multiplus 2000. I also have the Color Control GX remote panel, Bluetooth Smart Dongle and a BMV-712.
Here's
part 1 of the projectI mounted the inverter under the range. That's a common place for AF owners to mount inverters.
It has been a very time consuming process since there's a few other upgrades that needed to happen before the inverter got mounted.
I am upgrading (downsizing) to a 17" range, which will give more clearance between it and the inverter. I listed my old range on Craigslist Saturday night and had a buyer for it Sunday afternoon. The buyer is installing it in his skoolie conversion.
I still haven't finished up the control panel mounting. I have to fab up a panel to mount everything in. I haven't gotten motivated on that project yet.
I use a program from Front Panel Express to layout the design of the panel, then print it out and use I that as a template to cut my holes in the wood paneling.
