2k or 3k inverter?

Curious what you're using for monitoring your propane levels? Mopeka via bluetooth?

Yes, Mopeka via bluetooth

Here is the widget on the home screen of my phone and a picture of my Cerbo screen.

OK - is that widget in the App store? Need that! Way more useful home screen! Thx

Yes, (Apple). You need the VRM app (separate from the Victron Connect App) and then there are a variety of widgets for the home screen they have available.

OK I have the VRM app...do not see any options for widgets?? Maybe my iOS is too old. Where to find them? Thx

Long press your home screen (as if you were moving an app around) hit the + in the top left and search for VRM. Then you can scroll to the right through the choices. There are a bunch there.

ncitro is a little further a long than I am with the custom cerbo interface and hardwired mopeka mod. But, so far - I have had good success with the propane monitoring and temperature sensors back to the cerbo via bluetooth. I did add a USB bluetooth antenna to the Cerbo in an attempt to boost range to the rear of the camper for a temperature sensor. This has worked out fairly well as well. I really just ran the other antenna closer to the other side of the pass through - haven't even made it permanent yet.

Let me know if you have any questions!

What a timely post! You're questions and all the answers were like someone was reading my mind.
I also have 2 100AH Lithium iron phosphate batteries and after reading the posts, decided to go with Tucson Jim's 3000W Renogy inverter suggestion. (Just paid $332 Black Friday price at Renogy.com). I'm going to see how it works for me before jumping into the MPII and maybe adding a third battery.
Jim, will you post the link to your 297RSTS (OLD trailer) solar/electrical improvement thread? Im not having success finding it...
Anyone out there have other Non-Multiplus wiring diagrams and write ups for adding inverters?

The Renogy 3000w inverter shows $366.29 when I just looked at my ammo-zon page. Pretty good deal.

I’m sitting here at the campground and I’m looking real hard at this now for $346. I may just pull the trigger on it this morning.
