Description
The EXPLORIST.life OEM RV Inverter/Charger Retrofit Splice Box allows you to easily integrate a high-powered Victron inverter/charger into an RV or Motorhome with a factory installed electrical system with 30A shore power.
The corresponding wiring kit for this splice box is sold separately.
This splice box is compatible with 30A OEM RV’s adding a Multiplus 3k OR 2k
In a typical RV, the shore power cable goes from the shore power inlet (or the OEM transfer switch) directly to the OEM 120V Power Distribution Panel. During an electrical upgrade involving a high-powered inverter/charger, the inverter/charger should be inserted in-line between the shore power inlet (or transfer switch if fitted with a built-in generator) and the distribution panel. The AC Input of the Inverter/Charger gets power from shore/transfer switch and then feeds power to the distribution panel.
Here is how a Typical 30A RV is wired from the factory. Notice how the OEM wire from the shore power inlet/transfer switch goes directly to the OEM 120V Distribution Panel:
To incorporate an Inverter/Charger into your 30A OEM RV, you will need to splice the Inverter/Charger inline on the wire going from your transfer switch (if you have an onboard generator) or shore power inlet (if you do not have an onboard generator) and then extend the wire coming from the shore power inlet/transfer switch to the AC Input on the Inverter/Charger and also the wire coming from the Inverter/Charger AC Output going back to the wire going to the Distribution Panel:
Here is what the EXPLORIST.life OEM RV Inverter/Charger Retrofit Splice Box and Wiring Kit looks all wired up. This is the 6/4 version for 50A RV’s. The 10/3 version for 30A RV’s will simply have smaller wire and the red wire and terminal block will be omitted.

This kit i s100% perfect. I did not know about this originally and was trying to piece it together with parts from Amazon. Watching one Nate and Steph videos, Nate mentioned this kit and I ordered it right away. No guess work. And wound up being less expensive than if I had tried to get the parts separately. Great job guys! Awesome kit and the VERY BEST instructional videos on the internet! Cheers!
