Thanks, I will do a couple of tests this evening and post on here with screen shots, I think the kettle was an issue so I will try again, do you think the 2kw inverter is TOO big for the bettery setup ? TBH I went 2Kw over 1Kw to future proof the setup, at some point I will swap put for Lithium...

I’m still finding my feet with the van to be honest @Dellmassive, but I am actually using it a lot off-grid as a day van. I’m very fortunate insomuch that because I’ve got decent comms gear in there, and a job which allows me to work wherever (ie., keyboard jockey) either when on the road...

Funny you should say that, turns out I just did as one of the other members of the syndicate wanted to reduce from 2 shares to 1 (y) We have replaced the main bank with slightly larger batteries and thankfully this time no questions, I think folks saw the benefits. We also changed our charge...

They will need to get a new 240v charger as that CTEK will not charge a LiFePo - the 250SE will but at only 20A and if you intend to consume power at the rate 240v heating appliances will that's just not going to cut it so that will need replacing as well as (likely) the cabling to cope with...

That d250 is ok for a 100ah lithium. But if your looking at 200ah worth it might be a bit weak... 20A for 10 hour drive? . Per day, if you was to run the bank down each day? So a good starting point, but you may quickly find out that it takes too long to recharge. Same with the solar, 100w...

If you are having a microwave fitted have you considered instead going the induction hob route? Currently you have effectively 3 fuel systems (diesel, gas, electricity) and maybe it would make sense to spend the investment on a fixed gas system on increased battery (ideally lithium) and...

Also for consideration if you have a 100Ah AGM you have about 50-60Ah of "usable" capacity so it full power you have max runtime of just over 30 minutes to the point you should start charging. You don't mention if you have a DC-DC charger, if you don't and you have a basic split relay and stop...

Here is the MW - 800w https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07N6KQQPD?ref=em_1p_0_ti&ref_=pe_2443661_447211501&th=1 Inverter - NDS 2000W Pure Sine Inverter with Priority Switch Touch wood. Never had any issues. :).

Took out the old lead acid leisure battery, CBE mains charger, cabling various and threaded through a new 16mm2 cable from starter battery to the rear wardrobe. Plan tomorrow is to fit a new Fogstar lithium battery, Victron DC-DC, Ablemail AMT 12-2 and busbars, fuses, isolator etc. I’m going to...

This is true, gas is better at heating water etc. but sometimes people just like a challenge. @czmate1999 has a microwave in his van for example. ( he runs twin 100ah lithiums and 3k inverter) @Rids has a very impressive setup (1600w vic` multiplus) @Samro has nice setup too. +++++++++++...

[Guide] Clayton LPS II 2500 - 1kWh (leisure battery + Inverter) -- How I Done It -- (@Dellmassive) its finally happened, I've dipped my toes into the dark side of 12v leisure electrics. The Clayton LPS II - the All In One ( 12v lifepo4 battery, dc-dc charger, 240v inverter, solar MPPT...

Glenhyrst I came from the motorhome world and thought I know a lot, but without reading Dellmassive's extremally will thought out posts I would have just left my campervan as is..... Now we don't use EHU 95% of the time on the road ( this may change when we visit Ireland for a few months...

I'm with @Salty Spuds on this one, when we do our outings we are rather power hungry. A coffee machine for me, wifeys various hair products, an induction hob for kettle boils, we started taking out an air fryer last year too. The list goes on. However we aren't constrained by underseat space...

Good move, especially as you are not buying a pig in a poke but know what you’re investing in!

Personally with anything managing lithium I'd stick to reputable brands from known sources. There is a huge amount of energy in them and you are fitting them under your seats. There are many areas to save some cash in, this is not. 1. You want MPPT in solar not PWM. All in one devices save...

I have the Van King bed and sliding tray fitted in my van it’s brilliant and very versatile, I carry our Alpicool fridge, porta potty, and 3 - 35 litre storage boxes on the tray. Behind the tray and my Kombi 3 seats I’ve built a box which holds 2 - 100ah lithium batteries, Victron charger, 1500...

Something is odd there! What does the control panel above the USB socket say about the state of charge of the 2 batteries? This needs to be done with all loads turned off and nothing being charged otherwise the reading is useless. The reading on those is not great anyhow, but it’s better than...

Thanks for the honest replies. Maybe i need to have a rethink... The Cerbo and touch i already have as they were gifted to me by a friend. The lynx was just because the rest of the system is Victron so thats the research route i went down so i will look for alternatives if its not needed. The...

We have a boiling water tap (which has it's own drain), but no sink and no built-in hob. We use a collapsible bowl for washing-up and usually cook outside the van using either a portable induction hob or a BBQ. To power the above, we have a reasonably large lithium power bank with a large solar...

Thank you for the photos, very useful to see what others have done! Back to the drawing board on my set up but I think I have it sussed now!
