Thanks! We did not do enough research when we bought the truck, our salesman was not knowledgeable about the PowerBoost hybrid, the tow package, or that a 7.2kw generator was ann option, and whether a 7.2kw was available in the timeframe we needed it for. Thanks for your advice. For now, we are...

We were unable to figure out a solution and neither did the head engineer at Escape Trailer. Since we are hitting the road next week for five months, we bought a Honda 2200i. Not what we wanted but better safe than sorry. I just saw the work around that was posted and I am glad that worked...

Busy today but will check out the video and then check the settings. Thank you.

No worries. Thanks for answering.

The 2.0 is on a gasoline powered truck. The 2.4 and 7.2 are on the PowerBoost.

Interesting. Everyone with the 7.2 generator has no issues. I wonder what is different with the 2.4? I’m thinking about upgrading to the 7.2 this summer.

Follow up from Escape Trailers, Inc. head engineer: Dustin tried to power an E23 on his F150 PowerBoost with 2.4kw inverter. It failed. He did some research and is going to continue on searching until he comes up with a way to fix it. The problem is with the settings on the Victron Multiplus...

Thanks! Will check out the other post. The 7.2kw system runs other Escapes without issue though I’m not sure if they all have the newer Victron system (some do). Our older E19 was wired differently and used a GoPower 1500 watt inverter that we turned on when we wanted to use it. This whole...

A ground neutral short has not been ruled out. We did test it with a grounding plug in one socket and a dog bone in the other plug and the r truck shut down immediately. We have not tested on a GFCI outlet as the nearest one is in our bathroom (1984 AZ build) and we don’t have a long enough...

I think he’s not at the factory right now so maybe they will play with it next week when he gets back. It’ll be interesting to see what he finds out. The Victron system plays well with the 7.2kw system so I don’t what is different with this one. @HammaMan- Wish you were closer and could help us...

Update: 1. We tried a soft start yesterday which Tampa down the initial incoming voltage. It plugs into the truck then the item plugs into it. Unfortunately it did not work. The one supporting 20amp had the 20amp plug with the prongs going in different directions. The truck plug is a 15amp type...

When I emailed back, I added the exact specs of our truck and stated we had the 2.4kw. I also added other Escape owners had used the 7.2kw system without issue. Here’s hoping he really does have the 2.4!

I emailed Escape today. They said the head engineer has the same truck and he is going to test it out tomorrow and let us know! How’s that for customer service? Now we only have to drive 1700 miles to Chilliwack, BC to have them fix it! ? Actually, they will reimburse a local RV repair shop if...

Thanks everyone. This is a lot to digest so I will read it again and look try again later. I’ll look at the wiring and the Cerbo limit incoming power. Currently we set the incoming power on the screen like our solar tech showed us to do. The DC to DC charger is under the bed in the front of the...

Here is the schematic from Escape for the e23. In the second photo, I circled the solar and DC disconnects which I left on. Should I try again with those two off? Anything else? ??‍♀️

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you for the info. Did you do the work yourself ? If so, bravo! I’m not sure if trust my local Ford dealer to do this and we don’t have capability. What happens to your warranty? It’s just for emergencies in case our trailer batteries get too low and we are stuck boondocking without...

We don’t have the expertise to do that ourselves. We are retired from medicine so if a body needs fixing, we could figure that out. How would we find such a mechanic and would it void our warranty? Thx

We have a Houghton AC (13,500 I think) with a heat pump. It runs the fan all the time. The air or heat comes on after the fan is going. The thing is though that it’s not on and the main breakers are off so it shouldn’t be drawing power…right?
