Unlock effortless power management in your recreational vehicle or marine setup with the Xantrex Freedom X Combox. This compact RV-C communication device bridges your Freedom X and XC inverter/chargers to RV-C or NMEA2000 networks, letting you monitor and control essential systems from a single dashboard. Imagine syncing battery levels, inverter output, and charger status with popular RV displays or marine multifunction units—no more guessing games with your off-grid power.
Standout Features for Seamless Connectivity

Why RV and Marine Enthusiasts Rely on This Combox
Power systems in RVs and boats often feel fragmented—separate apps, clunky wiring, endless troubleshooting. The Freedom X Combox changes that by centralizing data flow. RV owners get real-time insights into power usage during long hauls, preventing surprises like dead batteries at camp. Boaters appreciate NMEA2000 harmony with chartplotters and autopilots, ensuring reliable charging even in rough seas.
It's not just about connection; it's about peace of mind. Reduce wiring clutter, minimize errors, and extend equipment life through proactive monitoring. Users report quicker setups and fewer service calls, making it a smart upgrade for anyone serious about mobile power independence.
How It Integrates Your Power Ecosystem
Connect the Combox directly to your Freedom X or XC inverter/charger's communication port, then link it to the RV-C backbone or NMEA2000 drop cable. Once networked, third-party systems like Victron displays, Garmin MFDs, or RV-specific monitors pull live data—amps in/out, SOC, fault alerts—all without proprietary apps.
For best results, ensure your network terminators are in place and use shielded cabling to dodge interference from alternators or motors. It's plug-and-play for most setups, but a quick USB config lets you fine-tune PGNs for your exact needs.
Proven Compatibility Across Freedom Series
- Freedom X models: 817-1000, 817-2000, 817-2000-21, 817-3000
- Freedom XC models: 817-1050, 817-2080
Works hand-in-hand with a wide array of CAN-based RV and marine gear, future-proofing your investment as networks evolve.
Ideal Applications
- RVs and Caravans: Full-time travelers and weekend warriors streamline house battery management.
- Marine Vessels: Sailboats, yachts, and fishing boats integrate power with navigation for all-day reliability.
- Off-Grid Custom Builds: Vans, trucks, and tiny homes benefit from scalable monitoring.
Pro Tips for Optimal Performance
Mount the Combox in a dry, ventilated spot away from heat sources. During installs, power down everything first to avoid network glitches. Regularly update firmware via USB to unlock new features and PGN support. Pair it with quality backbone cables rated for your system's data rate—80kbps is standard for RV-C.
