We have the tow package in our Jeep so I think that comes with a slightly higher capacity LVB. When out camping, I have run our Dometic CF50 for 3 days without any issues. Still plenty of power available to start the EV systems and if not, I carry a jumper pack powerful enough to fire up the computers and bring the HVB online. I have one of these in each of my EVs.
Shane,
I haven't had an opportunity to get a 4xe in the shop yet, although my sister just bought one, so I'll try to get hers over here for a visit.
When I had mine apart, with the OEM battery tray and fuse panel removed, those coolant parts (circled in blue in picture below) that are looking for a place to mount to, are connected to coolant lines (see green arrows in pic below). There isn’t much play in those coolant lines. My original plan was to simply drill 3 holes in the bottom of the Genesis tray, and bolt the parts to the bottom of the Genesis tray, using some bolts with low-profile heads. But when I pulled on those coolant parts to lift it up to the height of the Genesis tray, it was placing too much strain on the coolant lines. That little coolant pump (or whatever that thing is), naturally wants to sit a few inches below the Genesis tray. That’s why my solution involved bending that DIY bracket a couple of times to create a space between the Genesis tray, and the coolant parts that I was supporting.
Great info, thank you for the clarification!@Senrusho, I’m not sure that this approach will work:

So, I don’t think you’d be able to snug up a heavy duty zip tie to bring the coolant parts up to the bottom of the Genesis battery tray. And while a large, heavy-duty zip tie could certainly support the weight of those parts as a temporary fix, I wouldn’t want them bouncing around as a permanent solution.
That having been said, maybe there’s another spot that I didn’t see - where you could secure those parts.
Here’s that pic:
That's a lot lower in there than I was thinking. I was picturing it just barely below the tray. Thanks again!Here’s another pic that shows the height differential. This is the DIY bracket, with coolant parts mounted, just prior to me putting the Genesis tray in. I’ve marked the height of the bottom of the Genesis tray with a blue arrow, and the height of the coolant parts with a red arrow. I can’t recall exactly, but I’d guess it was a 3“ or 4” difference in height.
You’re welcome.
Jeeperz Kreeperz,
I probably should have tagged Genesis so they see it. My only concern on the mod that @Jeeperz Kreeperz did is that it looks like it is only supported on that one side? I am sure the metal is strong enough to hold it, but didn't know if it was held up on the other side or not.
