Nearly finished with this and ready for the road. Just waiting on a bulkhead to mount the Anderson connector through the seat base cover. All tested and working though and despite only being 100W it can and will make a huge difference to time away from a hookup! It will easily out-charge the...
Unfortunately that is where I got to - sold the Ecoflow and went back to installing a dc-dc charger, lithium leisure battery and Victron mppt for the solar. And I don’t have a fridge or diesel heater so my power requirements are more modest than yours.
The Ecoflow and other similar products...
My Clayton LPS1500 lets me run fully off grid with access to 240v (upto 1500W). BUT with a fridge running you are looking at 2 days, 3 days max IF you arent recharging it via driving or solar
I saw it when I was watching a Aussie DIY convertor on Youtube fitting the cabling. Others have suggested using the rubber grommet hole on the left of the batter, over the small wall in the main engine bay, low down on the fire wall near where the AC & files lines etc go. But this was simple and...
Long time reader but first time poster.
We’re kitting out the t6 and have installed the van furniture U-Shape White Laminated Ply VW T5 T6 U Shape Bed System — Van Furniture. However trying to find a dual burner hob that can fit in the drawer above the fridge is becoming tricky. It’s a...
Hi and welcome you need to list some more details for the guys in here to help and advise is your van New is there warrenty on your fit out to replace the fridge fan and paint problems take it back to your supplier
the lights have switches are easily found and yes stay on with a...
cool, pictures would be good to see. I’ve only be sorting out and taking the plunge and buying at moment!
I’m i correct in thinking you also have charger on EHU side of things for lithium battery or will existing setup do the job?
Cheers Ian
Ok, Im going to see a couple of convertors in the next few days regarding finishing my van by doing the final stage of putting the units in.
However I have spoken to a few people and this has got me wondering about the way to go, so here are my dilemmas.
1. I dont want to install gas, so first...
I've got a Ecoflow Delta waiting to go in my van in July when it's delivered. Will be used to power a small Alpicool fridge, phones and charge an ebike. Used an inverter in my previous transit to charge the bike which was fine but a pain to have to keep the engine running. I'm hoping the Delta...
You don't need double MCBs if your needs are simple. Having more than one MCB allows some discrimination so for instance if someone trips the sockets MCB with a kettle it doesn't trip out a mains fridge on a different MCB. If you have simple needs in a small van you should be fine with one...
yes your BMS is out of calibration . .( it thinks its 90% but really is 10% so flat)
this happens with the BMS self discharge or very small loads that the BMS cant detect. ( the Renogy cant detect loads less than 500mA)
a common symptom with an easy fix - just fully charge the battery.
you...
Apologies if I have missed the answer to this, (I have read thru @Delmassives extensive thread but couldn’t see a reference).
As per the OP I am intending to install a standard EHU set up for 240v side, but utilise a power station (haven’t decided on brand yet so open to suggestions) for the...
That's a compressor based dehumidifier so a few things to be aware of, think fridge.
The startup surge is a motor based surge, so the initial draw could be up a spike up to 8 times the average draw, so you need an inverter that's happy to do motor starts.
Compressor dehumidifiers are rated at...
We found a blue ABB plug to European std so have cobbled together a second mains lead for the fridge! Yay! (Small wins add up).
Huttopia is a wonderful site with lots of tree cover, to keep the sun/heat off whilst camping. The downside, moving the solar cells regularly. (No pictures of the tent...
I like your style! I’ve been considering a remote compressor fridge, as it gets a 75l fridge in a small space. Thinking about mounting compressor under the driver’s seat in a future van. Point the exhaust to the back, and it’s an extra fan heater.
How noisy is the exposed unit? I was...
I have a SWB with cali bed, the one and only drawback I have is that I can’t open the fridge door with the ‘standard‘ camper furniture layout. Not a show stopper but requires a small amount of planning for breakfast in bed.
Just saying as if you position the rails as far back as possible on a...
