So after 371 days of waiting, it is finally in our possession. Just need lockdown to end now! Nice quick semi contactless click and collect handover from Page Bros.

Very nice indeed. I take it those steps are standard on this model? Wouldnt mind replacing mine on the expanda outback with those.
Very nice. 371 days, that's extraordinary. That fridge is a whopper. Is the van white, or an off white

Ha, the van colour. The fridge is definitely off white. Amended it
The Outback models are a light grey.
The fridge/Freezer is 221L. Its a nice upgrade to the compressor model over the smaller absorption.
The bunks are 1830mm Long by 700mm wide

Been busy slowly installing my Victron setup. Just got to wait the ridiculously long time for the lithium cells to arrive by boat from China before i can build them, top balance, load test and install.
Got the 4x 175w solar panels ready to go to mount on the roof. Just need a decent run of weather that doesn't include the chance of rain.
Did a mock setup run using the factory battery yesterday just to make sure the extended HDMI and usb cables worked with the GX touch.
Need to get sparky in to wire up inverter and RVD when batteries are herd.
Got airbag suspension kit to install still. But fingers crossed the 80% dlb dose rate continues to shorten up in Victoria and we may possibly get to have a long weekend away over cup weekend. Not holding my breath though. Most likely another cancelled holiday

Very nice Victron setup. Mines identical, but instead of the Multiplus, I'm running a Enerdrive inverter and victron IP22 30a charger. In hindsight should have just gone the multi so it all talks together. Are you adding the fuses to the Lynx, or just using fused breakers? What size lithium setup are you building? Mines a 340ah with Daly 250a BMS
Yeah I just hacked up the lynx power in (much cheaper than the lynx distributor) with M8 bolts, nuts and washers. Some things are double protected. But yes all fuses in the lynx too.
The resettable circuit breakers act as an isolation switch in a sense too.
I'm building 2x 230ah lithium banks with 250a Daly bms on each.
In a way I should have just made 1x 460ah and used a UART cable so they Daly could talk to the Cerbo for accurate soc%, but couldn't be bothered. More programming needed that way.
Very nice setup Brente1982. I like it. I hope you get many years of happy running.
OK so the latest install. Airbags from airbagman. Took roughly 8 hours to install. Great bolt in kit for the MK2 jtech suspension. No modifications needed.

I've ended up going the opposite way, just changed my battery order to 2 x 204Ah each with its own 250amp Daly set-up, that way it's a bit easier to fit in and can increase capacity down the track if ever needed. Looks like our cells much be on the same slow boat from China!
Probably should start my own build thread too
Yeah I ordered my 2 programmed Daly 250a bms's from solar4rvs. They had decent price for them but not much stock left.
That there is. I ended up ordering through someone called Amy, who a lot of users on the diysolarforum go through for their EVE grade A cells.
