I hope your festival trip was great. Hopefully we'll be able to attend next year. I have to say I am so excited to do your lithium exchange in the spring. I really think this is the cleanest install of this model Airstream I've seen yet. We have a 25 FTB GT and do just enough boondocking for this amount of lithium and best of all, it is easily owner installed. Thanks again for posting this info.

Thanks so much. The festival never disappoints. The weather this year was absolutely perfect. Stay tuned for an update on the battery. Spoiler - we're going to add another!

I am so glad to see you guys back!!! My husband and I missed you. We can't wait to see the tour of your new guest house. We have the exact model of your old trailer, but it is a 2022. I'm curious how you like the Girard water heater? We don't like it at all as we do a lot of boondocking. It wastes so much water waiting for it to get hot. As clever as you are, have you found a solution for that issue? Thanks and welcome back!!

Thanks so much!! Hmm - the Girard water heater - I have a love hate relationship with it. We may install a sink miser and if we do, we'll post a video. Thank you so much for watching.

That would be great it you do. We have looked into the Shower miser but not sure about getting over to the fresh tank from the shower of our FBT23ft. Thank you!@@EastCoastStreamers

Thank you. Probably want to now add a lock to that battery compartment too!

One last request, can you add screenshots or at least info on the Victron charge controller settings for it? Or do they provide it with the battery anyway?

Absolutely. We actually purchased a combination lock for the box for just in case.

When you log into the App, go to settings and update the "Battery preset" setting to "Smart Lithium (LiFePO4)". It's the 4th setting from the top.

Wondering where your boondocking spot is that near Urbanna, unless you care not to disclose. LOL Great hookup ideas and description of the lithium install. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Fred and Lori - We will be fairly near the festival. Highly recommend if you are within a reasonable driving distance. On Friday night they have a fire engine parade (bring ear plugs) that is really fantastic. Of course, you wouldn't want to miss the Oyster shucking contest on Saturday.

Looking at your tools list, did you only use the Hyclat crimper? There were a few others listed.

We used 2 different crimpers. The Hydraulic Crimping Tool (amzn.to/3Mgar0g) and the Hammer Lug Crimping Tool (amzn.to/3FxzSql).

Great video. Thanks for posting… I actually just purchased all the supplies you listed and will attempt to copy your install… We just purchased a new to us 23 AS GT 27FBT.. is there anything else I need to do? Some FB posts indicate you have to swap out the converter and adjust the Solar Controller… Can’t beat Big Batteries price and it seems to have a great deal of positive reviews…

The 2023 model has an auto switching converter so you should be good to go! For the solar controller, you would need to use the app to configure the battery settings based on the size of your battery.

228aH with one battery versus (2) 100aH batteries in less space! Any drawbacks using one versus two? Seems to me a better way to go, getting 28aH more.
