These guys are absolutley amazing they are super responsive and helpful in emails and helped me plan out my solar setup and roofrack for my van build project as a college student. It feels amazing to support a small business like these guys and to receive the type of customer servicer and support that I did. Can't recommend orion van gear enough!
My original build plan was to build a conventional Victron system from the ground up, but having little electrical experience I was super anxious about risks involved. Orion turned me on to EcoFlow and it was a game changer. Truly a plug and play system, simplifying getting power in the van enormously. After a year of use with only a couple of minor start up issues (which helped me solve) itās been exactly as advertised. My 10kwh system is configured 12v on the output side but 48v on the input side and with three input ports that means I can use 2 for the 5kwh batteries and the third port for my Nomadic X2 48v air con unit which generates close to 13,000 btus- perfect combo. The UI is super simple, elegant and easy to use both on the van mounted console and the smart phone app. With simple hook ups for solar, alternator charging and shore power the system has been powerful and reliable. I see and hear about more and more pro upfitters installing EcoFlow systems rather than conventional systems - thereās a reason for that. Great system - highly recommended.
We are thrilled to hear that our system has simplified the process of getting power in your van and has been reliable for you. We are also glad that the UI has been easy to use and that you have been able to integrate our system with your Nomadic X2 air con unit. Thank you for recommending our product and for choosing EcoFlow. We appreciate your support and are always here to assist you with any questions or concerns. Happy travels!
This rack, custom designed for Promaster is perfect. Easy to install with super clear video and print directions. Orion was super helpful all the way thru my build and helped me design the solar array to maximise space. I love the low profile design that allows you to securely and easily mount the panels flush with the top of the rack so they are not visible from the ground. My friend who has had panels stolen from his van roof is quite envious⦠He also turned me on to my EcoFlow power kit which after a couple teething issues I love. Matt was also super helpful helping me get the minor start up issues resolved. Quality products from quality people - canāt recommend Orion highly enough.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful review. It was a pleasure working with you to dial in the solar layout and make the most of the space. That flush-mount design really does keep things sleek (and secure ā sorry to your friend!). Weāre also glad you stuck with the EcoFlow system and got it running smoothly. Appreciate your kind words and thanks again for trusting Orion with your build!
Installed these on the 1010 cross rails on my Sprinter Orion Rack. They work like a charm: very easy to adjust, allow easy panel removal, and are strong and nicely finished. Good stuff!
Thank you for your review! We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing our product. Have a fantastic day!
We had one of these in an previous trailer. Our new trailer had a four-speed maxair exhaust fan and we wanted to have the fan draw cool air into the bedroom, so we made the swap.
I expected that I would simply remove the old fan and slot this one in, but the flange and mount is different, as is the hood that came with the fan on the trailer. It necessitated scraping off the old sealant, removing the exterior and interior flange and making some adjustments, such as drilling new holes. It's not a plug and play swap. This is not a criticism of the fan, but a heads up for anyone making a similar swap.
We are glad to hear that you are enjoying your Maxxair Deluxe fan. If you can update your review to include which model of fan you swapped that would help future buyers.
Everything was as advertised, but the vinyl decal was WAY too large. I had to cut nearly an inch off all the way around. When you put them on the hood, they overlapped and looked terrible. I havenāt hooked up the charger yet, but am assuming it will do the trick and keep the chassis battery topped off.
Update: Orion refunded me for the vinyl and is contacting the manufacturer. Really happy with their customer service.
Thanks for the honest review and for sharing the photos. We appreciate you sharing as it helped us relay to the manufacturer and make improvements. This issue has been addressed going forward, and all updated units reflect the fix. Let us know if thereās anything else we can do to help.
