I’ve got a portable fridge, so for me I’ll be building a “space” that can take the fridge but it won’t be permanently installed. Ours is going to be a daily driver too so ittl be in the kids legs way when the seat is pulled forward, but unfortunately it’s a 12v plug in so not the most...

Hi did this work on your van As I have 6 mm wires connected to the dometic ones at the back off fridge , is this the problem . Thanks

...One could build or buy a small cupboard mount hob on top fuel container below, perhaps even mount a battery in the cupboard or and a small fridge. We used one in an ex military Landrover and did not even need a leisure battery to run it. They have outlets in the UK https://wallas.fi/...

Bags of room there!:thumbsup: Be aware of the currents involved with the various bits of kit and cable sizes required. Under my driver's seat I've got a Renogy DCC50S for the b2b and mppt combined, a small fuse board for the fridge and Webasto, bigger fuses for the battery the inverter (mounted...

I would never say its worth going into an overdraft for but maybe just wait a month and order a few bits, if your having a fridge you could run conduit to that to save money on the larger cables. but running small cables and a 20mm conduit down each side front to back is pretty inexpensive...

I think it's the same everywhere. I have a friend that had an old small fridge freezer that went bang. He only has a small car so had to borrow a van to take it to the tip. He had no idea about permits etc that are now required to take a van. He was turned away and told to apply for a permit and...

IMO a grey water tank is a waste of valuable storage space. We usually let the water drain into a collapsible bucket/bowl (or, if appropriate, straight onto the ground). Having said that, we don't have a sink as such - just a drain for the boiling-water tap - so our water wastage is minimal.

How about the Alpicool 12l? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B9X6VN83 On the downside it's quite a lot of buck for the bang but being compressor it will be more effective and efficient. Potentially has second uses alongside your main fridge either running very lightly to chill drinks or turned...

Even without power if you pack the fridge with a mixture of chilled / frozen food and resist opening the door unless you need to you’ll have fresh food for 2-3 days. Put a thick towel in the bottom to absorb any condensation.

The ctek has two internal fuses apparently. Can you not charge the battery fully at home then have your weekend away being careful to use as little battery as possible? Fridge compressor will hardly come on in this weather, lights use very little power. Take a portable power bank to charge...

I’d suggest borrowing, hiring, or finding a van with a 112cm setup to test it out and see how you get on. As you’ve mentioned, compromises will need to be made between bed space and storage. If you find that 112cm works for you after a trial, then it seems like you’ve got your preferred layout...

If/when I sort a new van, I'm foregoing cooking and storage facilities and getting a full width bed arrangement along the lines of a Ovano or similar. We just want somewhere to sit and sleep. Everything else can be done in the awning and toilet tent. This is based on cost v usage equation. I'd...

So left the fridge running overnight and rotated the panel to better catch the morning sun and battery was full again by midday. So quite confident the fridge could be mostly self sufficient in the summer. I do then wonder how best to make use of any "excess" power but the fridge does have...

...deliver or meet halfway. This would be ideal for a cheap, basic leisure battery setup with just some low power stuff like lights, or a small fridge. As it's AGM, the usable capacity if you have a DC-DC charger is 50% of capacity, so 37Ah, roughly. That's enough to keep a CRX50 type fridge...

Cheers for this. Did you go for split or unsplit conduit?

Got our first van / camping trip booked for August so just trying to kit the van out in preparation. I want to keep the van multi-purpose so today I picked up the Ecoflow River Pro 720Wh Portable Power station with 160 watt portable solar panel to keep us powered up. I'm planning to use this...

That’s what I’ve got. I don’t have an inverter and comfortably get 4+ days without any charging using lights, USB chargers, fridge and heater. The solar (a 200w Renogy flexible panel) makes the system everlasting in all but the worst prolonged period of weather. I hardly ever use the DC-DC and...

...sites so when at site I tend to fill it with drinks and set it to about 10 (cellar temperature). That P18 is really impressing me as a small fridge @z1ts especially if you can find the battery pack for not silly money...

@roadtripper I'm normally off on a tangent and had assumed the fridge was 12 volt but powered by a charger similar to the setup I had with my Sargent ec160 panel. I did reply earlier in the thread about being able to isolate the IP22 charger and assumed that the fridge was fed directly from the...

I have a 25l top loading compressor fridge. Took a last minute trip to the beach for dinner the other night. Put the fridge into freezer mode (-18c) with only about 25 min notice, put it in the van (using a power station to run it) and we had ice creams by the beach after a play. Has the benefit...
