...size and power and types of charging source. Their placement and power will drive cable size and fuses. For example, no need for a mains charger if you are off grid or no need for an inverter if you don’t need 240v off grid. No inverter means a smaller battery, means smaller gauge cables etc...

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

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)...

Just buy a ridge monkey that does brilliant toasties on the hob, excellent mess-free fried eggs and loads of other stuff too. In 3 years we’ve never plugged anything into our 240v sockets in the van. Adding solar should be easy and it’s a no brainer really if you are going to be off grid for...

That is absolutely class. I’m so new to all this I had no idea this existed. I got a projector solution but it’s a faff to sort out. Where do you get the power from to it out of interest? Does it work OK off grid?

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

So I want 240v smart charger on hook up and solar panels when off grid but when the smart charger is connected to the battery but not on,it will light up by drawing power from the battery how do I stop it

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

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...
