Adding batteries and solar power to an RV or off-grid cabin has never been easier.
Fabian came away so impressed that he’s redesigning the Victron-based interiors of his custom adventure vans to accommodate the EcoFlow Power Kit. It’s not a perfect system, especially for Roel’s smaller van, but EcoFlow’s solution has far more pluses than minuses.
One combo port that works with both EcoFlow LFP batteries and the company’s dual-fuel Smart Generator The Power Hub is a 48-volt system that uses a step-down DC-DC module to make it compatible with campers built around common 12V or even 24V systems. 48V has a number of advantages including lower current for the same power output, allowing for much thinner cables to be used throughout the vehicle.
The Power Hub’s alternator port is wired directly to the van’s starter battery . The Power Hub stops drawing current when the vehicle is idle by default, although that can be overridden in the app. The Power Hub is the central point of connectivity. The EcoFlow Smart Generator can also be a third battery like Fabian’s setup.Both Roel and Fabian had the same comment upon receipt of their review units: “It’s all very Apple-like.” The experience starts with a gee-whiz unboxing that reveals great looking hardware and an app experience that overdelivers — all highly unusual in the world of van builders.The power button on the Power Hub is neatly hidden below this mechanical flap.
