Can Factory Install Victron Battery Monitor?

TNOutback

I seem to recall seeing a post on this, but couldn’t find it.  If I order a T@B, can the factory install a Victron battery monitor for me?

Yes, but it will not be done as part of the original production.  You need to make arrangements to have it done by nuCamp Non-warranty Repair following production.  You can email Austin to ask about arrangements:  repairs@nucamprv.com

@Sharon_is_SAM is correct, mine was installed at the factory before delivery to dealer. The dealer took care of that, it was in initial purchase quote, how that happened behind scenes, I don't know. I also had a hard wired EMS installed, for that, I ordered from Amazon, had it dropped shipped to factory and it was installed after the build by Austin and team and I paid the install fee direct to NuCamp.

I requested the factory install (just) the wiring for a BMV-712 before the build process started. They agreed, didn't charge anything, and when I received the trailer there was a BMV-712 installed.

Talk about stellar customer service...

That’s a good idea!  Seems like so many people are using the Victron battery monitor these days - maybe down the line the factory will make it an option for those who want a more detailed SOC.

Can someone send me some photos of their victron battery monitor installed please? I'm just trying to get a better feel for what wires go where. My email address is tabbyshack@yahoo.com

Here are a couple of threads with pictures and descriptions of Victron shunt installs, and ideas on how to get wiring into the trailer for the display, if you want to use it.
