Thank you very much. This is the engine bay if this helps? I’m so confused still, so it would seem like I do have what’s required but the engine needs to be on? I was told by the fitter, to ensure the alternator is always turned off… unless it needs to be used (for off grid use only) The...

Sounds perfect for my trips coming up. I’ve come from a 6berth caravan. But now it will be just me and my son in the swb with awning and tow bar box. Travelling light and doing a thoughtful and cost effect conversion from now onwards. I am going for a ply guys install which will mean I can still...

Sounds like you have a bad connection on either the positive from the alternator or the ground - or some other cause of high resistance. The resistance, and subsequent voltage drop during load is why it measures ok when it’s not connected and drops off when connected.

Charging . . . . we started with the 240c mains charging. . . it comes with the mains lead and the fancy locking plug. . notice how the plugs are recessed into the unit so it be pushed back to a wall flat - a very nice design touch . . . switching the mains on you get a full rate...

I suggest that the following battery isn't fit for what you have your mind set on. 600W is still a whack of juice for a small AGM to provide and bear in mind you still need a cold fridge 24/7: You go on to say this, which doesn't really make any compromise at all, given that the proposed...

Hi Guys, new to this forum and having some difficulties with my PMS3 fitted to my T5. I have it wired to the leisure battery only as I don’t want do draw anything from the starting battery. I have a split charge relay topping up the battery on the move but plugged into EHU I can’t seem to get...

going from above unit we get some more detailed pics.. on EHU the red charger will most likley charger the LB (Leisure battery) on engine the CTEK charger will most likley charger the LB (Leisure battery) the only way the starter may be charged is when the engine is running . . . # or as...

A week or two off-grid... That's a big ask. I had the EF delta 2 at summer camp, running two fridges, usb , TV, camp lights etc etc... That lasted about 2days before flat..... Even with 400w solar in the roof it still needed up flat as we had a few grey days with no sun.. so still had to plug...

Hi All, I'm looking for some advice if you can help. I've recently purchased a T6 Highline converted camper and I have no clue what I should and shouldn't be doing to ensure that I manage and charge the leisure battery correctly. I've taken photos of what's been installed during the conversation...

@Dellmassive our van has a leisure electrics install with solar panel on the roof to keep the battery topped up but it will not deliver 240v power to run laptops, fridge or power a camping electric kettle or a small Lavazza coffee machine. The 12v (cigarette adapter) powers the Vevor fridge and...

Hi dellmassive Thought I’d post here on this thread as it’s a bit more recent than the seat base electrics thread from 2021. After a fair amount of deliberation I’ve decided to put half of the install on a bulkhead behind the drivers seat. The main reason being wanting to avoid stuff...

Right I am about to press go on having a Leisure style battery setup (traditional way of doing things) but before I do I am seriously considering a decent power source either Bluetti or Ecoflow with a foldable solar then just carry a camping 240v EHU Cable for when I’m on campsites. I am coming...

@Dellmassive. Lee - As you might recall from my posts a month or so ago ('Leisure Battery Cream Crackered'), I need a new battery (and DC-DC charger) and feel that I might need to move quickly on one of these before they all go! I'd be really grateful if you could give the 1 minute lesson on...

I don’t really understand the description of the green lights but 12.58v after a full charge isn’t terrible although you’d expect more like 12.8v from an AGM fresh off a good charger - if this dips heavily as you fire the heater up that would be bad sign though. What battery and charger are you...

Yes you can do that.. Provided the van draws less than the 200w the jackory can output.( Assuming you have a 12v power supply or changer on the van that charges the leisure battery from EHU) Spec says 200w and 240wh. So it won't last for ever.... But it will give you 200wh extra to play...

A 15A charger will keep up with those loads ... my average leisure battery load in a T6.1 Ocean is about 3A when camped up off-grid. If I turn everything on full, then 10A max on the leisure side. IMO a 25A charger gives a bit more headroom while still being well within the recommended charging...

Drivers seat has swivel base, so as you say, I’m limited for height. Currently we only have fridge, diesel heater, water pump, led lights and some usbs running on the leisure. But we are considering an inverter (or portable power box might be a better choice) to run an induction hob when not on...

thanks will try to remember to look , sometimes a quick answer from a forum buddy is useful if time is of the essence and a good way of getting to know peeps on here too that;s good to know - do you mean turn it on using the leisure battery or charge your van on your drive before you leave ?

Thanks very much. Seems a similar setup to mine; I am debating just going for a off grid power unit that can be carried rather than lithium just so I don't have to change lights etc. With regards to your captain seats; are they OEM? they look like the ones from Camper Beds & Seats Are they...

Hi so which route did you go down ?
