Thanks @Dellmassive, My intention would be to use something like this, nice and simple and cheap with the switch under the seat and also so I can turn the inverter on and off at the switch. https://amzn.eu/d/clzPyQ2 Attach a plug to the inverter and wire it into the crossover switch. Then have...

Hi, Sorry to be newbie like. so at the moment, the van battery has a system to charge the leisure battery. (relays and stuff). All works well. BUT, in winter, my plan is to have the EHU do the charging when on site. I am guessing that the Victron does that?. T

This is great thanks- you’re echoing our worries about some of the appliances! One of the reasons for having a camper is being able to do our usual camping trips but “with luxury”, but everything needs power! I suppose we could keep the purely Shore Charge AC sockets (so not drawing from the...

We are looking to sell our campervan, it's been much loved but as our kids grow and get too big for the pop-top up we're just not using it as much as it deserves. As you can see from the images it's in great condition and has been well cared for. We are the 2nd owners and bought it to have the...

Design your energy system to do what YOU need because there are a number of factors that influence how much battery capacity and solar generation to fit. Lithium has major advantages over AGMs because it will have many more charge cycles and can be discharged much lower than an AGM with no...

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...

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...

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...
