It will not run the Air Conditioning units and some of the outlets. The inverter will run one leg of the trailer. I have no doubt that it will work as advertised and some will love this system. It will take some programing to get it dialed in to charge different battery types correctly. This system has some good parts, but it is a shame that the components can’t talk to each other. I use these products in my trailer and my installs. This, like all Victron equipment will come with 5 year warranty. My bet is on the Smart Shunt for ease of install and use. This will be a Victron product, either a Smart Shunt or BMV712. If you do charge below freezing temperatures, you must make sure the charge current is 5-10% of the capacity of the battery. RELiON LiFePO4 batteries can safely charge at temperatures between -4☏ – 131☏ (0☌ – 55☌), however, we recommend charging in temperatures above 32☏ (0☌). This battery does NOT have a cold weather protection circuit in the BMS! It will be interesting to see if a reduced charge current can be implemented into this system for cold weather. This battery should come with a 5 year warranty but I couldn’t find the fine print of the warranty online. Relion has a good reputation for entry level solar products. The battery used in the Game Changer will be RB200. Victron Smart Charge Controllers, in contrast, will allow bluetooth reporting and programing to battery manufactures exact specifications. If you want to program the charger accurately you will need a computer to use the RS 485 connection (cat 5 wire) and a Windows computer with Aims software. The programing can be done generically through the LCD screen and buttons to choose main categories of battery type, IE lead acid or lithium. This product is not highly regarded in the solar community from my years of research and I did not find any features that stand out to me. I found an Aims solar charge controller factory installed by ATC on one of my customer’s trailers. This device is 90% efficient and has the ability to charge a battery with up to 125 amps. It looks like it will be configured as 60 amps running one leg of the trailer. ![]() ![]() It has the ability to transfer two legs at 30 amps or one at 60 amps. The Magnum MS2812 inverter is a robust, well known pure sine inverter that is made in the USA with a 3 year warranty. There are other changes to the 2021 Game Changer models but I will only focus on the electrical system in this article. This is HUGE! Not only do they leave out any material that will rot or form mildew, now they include a solar system that can get you boondocking sooner than any other manufacturer. I have even heard rumors of ATC switching to a compressor fridge like I did a few years back!ĪTC did raise the bar with this stock RV! I am not aware of another RV that is configurable for up to 840w of solar on the roof, 2800w inverter/charger and 400AH of Lithium batteries. ![]() This is my best guess from what I have heard and seen from many different sources. The Game Changer PRO Series model specifications are not currently available and this article is about the components I believe will be installed.
