This bikes look great! Seen the play one what’s the range?

The one off the inverter is taking the 12v from your battery and converting it into 240v. The other is obviously taking it direct from the 240v EHU. As long as you have a battery charger that charges your leisure battery when on EHU I’d guess you should be fine using both/either. The charger...

I love the wheels and tyres what size and brand are they ?

There's no inverter on that spec so you won't be able to power mains items from any LB. Also conider that even single induction hobs are rated at ~800W for the 'portable' single Vango low wattage one & so you need to build in 'headroom above that' to run one

It's possible but you'll be robbing the bank as you'll need a serious investment in likely a double battery (or massive seat base battery) and either a lot of driving with a high capacity DC-DC or substantial solar to keep them charged. So the only thing you have that would be really re-used...

Thanks for this, it's all very new to me so I'm starting at the bottom. I'm installing 240v electrics very soon, so on site will be okay, it's just the off grid side of things I'm unfamiliar with

Q1. The rating on an appliance is going to be the maximum average load, it doesn't account for surge loads. Resistive heating elements are a dead short until they same up and the resistance increases, likewise a still motor until it starts moving. Those can cause surges at switch on 2-4 times...

I had considered the 240v controller option but discounted it. Can I ask what the point of this is? When on “shore power” my leisure battery receives 12v charging supply which goes straight out to the load(s) as needed. Why the need for a 240v controller? Is it an efficiency thing in the...

In inverter terms 1kw devices aren't really low wattage, they will put around an 85 amp load on your 12v system. You'd be doing this off grid as well (otherwise you'll just use EHU) so you need to consider how you put that charge back in. I would guess you have around a 100ah AGM system and as...

Exactly this, long term ability to stay off-grid is more about power in vs power out than it is about Ah storage.

I'm having a 250w solar panel with victron panel and a planar diesel heater installed very soon in my T6.1. however, I'm also considering installing an inverter for that extra option for 240v when off-grid. The battery I currently have is this XR-1750 The DC charger I have is this (BB1230)...

This isn’t the exact same model but is 24” 12v and has a dvd player. I use a firestick and hotspot it off my phone which has unlimited data. I stream hd movies on Netflix with 2-3 bars of 4G. It runs on 12v when off grid and 240v on EHU. I use the DVD player when I’ve no service on my phone...

...months of working away and getting work done. Ghost has now got dc to do charging, a 3000w inverter, and to now power everything with 240v off grid.....a 560ah custom built lithium battery, with solar charging as well we have 5G Internet on board at all times, and next 2 weeks, xbox series x...

Hi, Recently got our first T6, don't know a huge amount about electrics and didn't realise the 3-pin sockets only work when on the hook-up (schoolboy, I know). Got the 12V socket working again after changing the fuse but we often camp off-grid and wouldn't mind being able to make a toastie...

The second bike arrived this afternoon. I've charged that via the 12v charger that was supplied in place of a second 240v charger. The battery came with some charge, it has drawn 29% charge out of the EcoFlow in 2 hours 40 minutes to fully charge the bike battery. I reckon that is going to be...

Boil in the van, fry/grill outside. A microwave/oven/grill is a waste of space in a van imho, take up too much space, have higher energy requirements. There’s a very good reason that the gas burner/sink combo is the “trad” design….it works. We can happily live off grid in the Alps in -20C temps...

I'm a great fan of my smaller Bluetti that I use for doing exactly what you describe and keeping the laptop and 4G router running in the van (mine's a Caravelle) and it's handy to have around in case of power cuts. You can also get laptop chargers that work from 12v - look for aircraft type...

Basically any type of 240v that involves heating is going to use a lot of power, and will dictate the level of equipment/spend/space used. It's only when you try and generate it yourself (or do the calculations) you realise just how much energy heating takes. It's all doable but all the other...

Intended use case is ability to be off grid max 3 days. Most of the time we'd be moving around Europe mainly through campsites but having the ability to pull up for a few nights somewhere off grid if adventure takes us that way. As there's going to be no fixed toilet/shower/waste water going in...

Evening I’m now 90% sure I’ll be doing the base van + conversion route so a couple of questions around that… 1. I’m in Nottingham and want to stay fairly local so I can be around to check samples/ interior etc in person as it progresses. Anyone with fairly recent experience of converters in...
