Camper Van Components| AGM Battery System - DO Model

Power Overview DC Power DC power is stored in the batteries and will directly power components such as your fan, Espar heater, and rocker switches without the need for an inverter. AC Power Just like in your house, you will have the 3 prong 120 volt outlets throughout the van. To facilitate AC power, we are converting DC power through the inverter into AC power in your outlets. You can toggle this power to the outlets on and off through your inverter controller. Up to 5 outlets mounted throughout the van allow you to plug in your AC powered accessories. Each outlet contains two USB chargers. Note that appliances will draw a small amount of power while plugged in, even if not in use. Plugging into shore power automatically powers outlets. For more info, reference inverter information. Power Tower The Power Tower, located in the rear on the driver’s side, houses all the important controls, displays, batteries, and fuses of your electrical system. Through these controls and displays, you can view how much solar power you're taking in, how much power the van is using, the status of the batteries, monitor the carbon monoxide and propane detector, and control most of the electronics in the van. Inverter (AGM System: GoPower 2000 Watt Inverter Charger) The Inverter is a 3-in-1 inverter. It converts the incoming DC current from the batteries to AC current for 120V wall outlets, charges the batteries from shore power, and has an AC transfer switch which allows AC-powered devices to be powered directly from shore power when plugged in. The inverter charger remote tells you the rate of charge, voltage of the batteries, and state of charge. The inverter needs to be turned on for any of the Vandoit-installed wall outlets to work. Toggle the inverter on/off button to turn the inverter on or off. Turn it off when you are leaving the van, as it will draw a small amount of power. Your van has 2000 watts of invertering power. The inverter will automatically turn on and show “Bulk Charging”, “Multi Stage,” or “Absorb” when shore power is plugged in. Plugging into shore power sends electricity directly to AC devices. You will not be able to turn the inverter off while plugged into shore power. You can adjust the shore power max amperage through the settings. To do so, reference the Knowledge Base article related to this topic through the Van Owner Support portal. Vandoit sets it to 13 amps from the factory. Shore Power & Solar Input Socket One way to charge your van’s battery system is to plug it into shore power. The socket for shore power is located at the rear of your van on the driver’s side. Use a 15 gauge extension cord that is no more than 30 feet long. Be sure to unplug the extension cord before driving away to avoid damage to the cord and socket. The ground solar input socket is located next to the shore power socket. This socket can be used to plug in extra ground solar panels, which provide an additional way to charge your van’s battery system. Solar Power/Solar Controller Solar works to trickle charge your van when sunlight is available. It will always be working when light is available. The solar controller displays the charging status, how many incoming amps you have, total solar collected, and voltage of the battery. The GoPower solar controller is expandable up to 600 watts of solar. Charging Relay This large, yellow, tear-shaped switch in the Power Tower controls the flow of power under load between the factory car battery and the 300ah battery bank located in the Power Tower. You will hear an audible “click” shortly after starting the van, when plugged into shore power, and during certain times of heavy use. This click is indicating your system is connecting or disconnecting the battery system from charging. In an AGM battery system, the red 3-position switch allows you to manually override the automatic switching of the batteries, this switch should be set to “auto”. The top “On” position will connect the factory car battery and the battery bank, allowing you to start your vehicle if you ever have a dead car battery. The middle “Auto” setting is the factory setting and lets the system automatically decide where the power should go during the charging cycle or under heavy load. The bottom “Off” setting will disconnect the factory car battery and the battery bank. Fuses There are two sets of fuses located inside the Power Tower. You will find bigger fuses that tie to batteries and the inverter, and a smaller DC fuse block to control all of your DC accessories. Breaker Switches There is a set of 4 circuit breaker switches on the Power Tower. Much like the breaker switches in your home, an overloaded circuit will trip the breaker switch. When turned on, the switches should have green light. If a breaker turns off, check the operation of the appliances in your van before turning a breaker back on.
