RedArc Manager30

Since the home page has an article about the RedArc Manager30, I thought we should start a thread about it.

Field Tested: RedArc Manager30 - Expedition Portal

The scenario is all too familiar, the anticipation of a long weekend of camping interrupted by the click, click, click of the starter and a truck filled with dead batteries because that one light was left on. Or the remote camp on the beach and days of sunshine and fun followed by a dead house...

Anyone running this unit?

too pricey for me

Even for the price I might do it if it had the dual battery isolator controller built in

I have been seriously looking at this when I setup my BMS. The idea of having all of the required items to run shore, car and solar charging, the nice monitor system, priority charging for solar and a couple other things, in a single unit, is great. No having to figure out where to locate items, all the extra wiring to connect everything, etc. kind of justifies the cost. Biggest downside I can see is a single point of failure, should it happen. Having multiple different charging devices would allow 1 or 2 other sources to work if you had one item fail.

Still looking at the pros and cons but I have some time before I get to this point.

That is my hang up as well. I love everything in one box. Also hate everything in one box.

Any word on their costumer service? Say I was in Columbia and it failed within warranty how hard would it be to get a replacement?
