Would you buy an RV with an east-to-west bed if it made installing an off-grid solar system much harder?
In this video, I take you inside an Outdoors RV 270RKS featuring an east-to-west bed and explain why this popular floorplan creates unique challenges for an RV solar installation. I'll show you the under-bed storage, discuss the compromises that come with an east-to-west bed layout, and explain how we designed a complete Victron Energy electrical system around those challenges.
This installation features Victron Energy 200Ah 24V Lithium NG batteries, a complete Victron Energy power system, and a custom electrical layout designed for reliable off-grid camping. If you're planning an RV lithium battery upgrade, installing Victron Energy equipment, or designing an off-grid RV electrical system, this walkthrough will give you ideas for your own build—and maybe even influence your next RV purchase.
