    2023 National Rally Furrion Battery Monitor Seminar

    17 Nov 23 Update: I've made a video of the presentation. Why? Because GD is no longer installing the Furrion Battery Monitor in GDRVs, so the presentation will not be given at future rallies. (The hope is the video will help a current owner who has a Furrion or perhaps provide the rational for why a monitor is a great addition to an RV for owners who do not have one.)

    Youtube video link here: https://youtu.be/AfjQCZpgplg

    Modified PDF of the seminar that was presented is attached (all animations were removed). Added a version with notes, too, to hopefully add context and clarity.

    Clear interactive session. Great examples of how to use this in troubleshooting.
    Thank you.

        As noted in post 1 (updated today) there is now a video of the Furrion Battery Monitor presentation available on YouTube. Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/AfjQCZpgplg
        Here’s a list of the topics In the video (and approximate timestamps):

        • Introduction: 0 – 2:39
        • Why Have a Battery Monitor? 2:40 – 4:01
        • How it’s Wired in a GDRV 4:02 – 6:14
        • Controls & Display 6:15 – 13:00
        • Calibration 13:01 – 21:45
        • Demonstration 21:46 – 30:17
        • Victron Monitors 30:18 – 31:35
        • Conclusion 31:36 – 32:06



        Keep in mind I did the best I could with the limited equipment available to me and my (barely) beginner+ editing skills. The video isn't perfect--there are minor goofs that weren't worth the time and effort to go back and fix. None of them (IMO) detract from the point of the presentation. I also don’t think Audible is going to be knocking on my door to hire me as a narrator. Hopefully the viewer can glean useful information from the video even with all of these issues.

        FYI it took about 1 hour of work for every 1 minute of video, so I’d greatly appreciate feedback. A private message is probably the best way to send the feedback, and don’t worry—I readily accept (and want!) constructive criticism.
