Certainly a lot of £££££S will be spent!!

Here’s a curve ball, I've just upgraded my van, to have small scale off grid 240v system just to run a low watt kettle & hair drier. So Theres a shore/ehu 240v system the off grid system with a 2000/4000W inverter 138amp lithium battery with 120w fixed solar & currently 120w folding solar panel...

Selling our families beloved van, Denzil the Diesel. The van has been with us for 3 years before which it was the Demo vehicle for Denson who we bought it from. Whilst its higher milage at 145k, its only done 7k in our posession and since converted. I feel the milage is reflected in the price...

Thank you very much. I appreciate the time taken to write to me, this was really helpful. Would it be unreasonable for me to ask the company I purchased from to upgrade the DS300 as per your comment?

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...

12v system ----- hmm, so which way to go. well i was going to go down the CLAYTON LPS route, have have now decided against this. the LPS needs to be built into a cabinet, and as we are KOMBI + OVANO its just not right for the setup. by that i mean it needs placed somewhere, in space i havent...

Thanks for the advice. Not looking to be off grid for long periods so driving in-between would be topping the battery back up. I guess I would just like to have a modest amount of power that I could run up a coffee or use something from the 240v plugs now and again if needed.

Our T6.1 was ordered from new as a panel van with factory fitted 2 captain seats and leisure battery under the passenger seat - van was then converted to camper with Victron Blue Smart charger 12v/10a added as part of the electrics. So where does that leave me regarding a DC to DC charger if I’m...

Hello guys , thought I would put up a few pics of my recent install. I got some inspiration advice and ideas from some of your threads and info on here . I went for a 100ah lifepower lifepo4 battery from eBay , 2 x Lensun 110w solar etfe solar panels , a victron smart protect , Aili battery...

Update, we have had a long hard chat and it has been decided that we will not be allowed away from civilisation long enough to need a off grid hair dryer (in a way this was sort of a back down by both parties) so I’ve ordered this (240v); BaByliss Travel 2000 W Hair Dryer - Black...

yes it can, and no i dont. i havent got any EHU installed in the van yet. so im 100% off grid. but with a 230Ah lithium . . . . who needs EHU anyway lol. - Roamer LiFePO4 Gen2 230Ah Seatbase battery -- "How I Done It" -- Re Renogy inverter EHU, its not a charger, but will work as a...

Things I've added to the van since last years trip to the outback. *Changed 120ah agm to 150ah lifepo4 battery and onboard lithium 240v charger. *Added another 200w solar blanket so now have 500w of solar panels. *Additional driving light bar to help the standard h4 headlights if I have to...

2017 Kombi Highline DSG 2.0TDI with 56.5k on the clock, FSH, freshly Serviced and MOTd in march 2024. Unfortunately I am having to sell my campervan. It started life a kombi highline , and over the 5 1/2 years of ownership I’ve built it up to this beautiful spec. I’ve looked after it...

Hi guys in my van I have a leisure battery under the driver seat hooked up to my C-tek split charge and my fuse junction box which powers my led ceiling lights, some USB ports for charging and a battery monitor. Down the line I will add a fridge and sink etc via the 12v system. Im looking to...

Agreed. Cello are known for 12v/240v capability, which if you are off-grid a lot in winter you are potentially going to need 12v.

I'm in the process of spec'ing camper conversion and I need a bit of advice please. I have a T6 Kombi that I plan on fully converting in 2 stages: Stage 1 is roof, insulated, carpeted, electrics (2 x 12v sockets, 2 x USB points, 2 x 240v sockets, 4 x LED spot, 2 x led reading lights, dimmer...

Sorry also forgot you said about 240v. I run my kit on 12v as I go into wild places and wild camp but when I go camping at a site, I am usually off grid there too which makes it cheaper however if we do need 240v we use one of these bad boys. Sounds daft but its simple and works. Not much goes...

I think we all get the idea that if you have EHU installed then the Vans body ground needs to be bonded to the earth bar in the CU, and that as above the CU needs to have a RCD and DP MCB . . . ...... my take on this was, what about the scenario where you HAVE EHU installed . . . but you...

Thanks to you both. Yes the tv is both 12v and 240v, and yes Nigel W I have one of those connectors. Perhaps I'm being foolish but I'm assuming that the cigarette lighter in the cabin will run off the car battery, consequently I run the risk of draining it if I run the tv off it when off-grid?

Lead acid batteries are optimised for broadly two uses; either for providing very high current for a brief period (starter) or low current for a long period of time (leisure). Any battery isn't like a fuel tank, you can never fill a battery back up to where it was as it's a chemical reaction...
