We have a boiling water tap (which has it's own drain), but no sink and no built-in hob. We use a collapsible bowl for washing-up and usually cook outside the van using either a portable induction hob or a BBQ. To power the above, we have a reasonably large lithium power bank with a large solar...

They will need to get a new 240v charger as that CTEK will not charge a LiFePo - the 250SE will but at only 20A and if you intend to consume power at the rate 240v heating appliances will that's just not going to cut it so that will need replacing as well as (likely) the cabling to cope with...

I can get a full list of the build of course. Of top of my head its currently 8 individual cells giving me 544ah as it standa, with a 3000w inverter, so camper has full 240v at all times, no hook up required. I definitely know there is no victron in the system at all. has dc dc to charging...

Thanks, definitely looks like I need to upgrade my system then. Shame, but just what it is another learning curve. Thanks for helping me get this right, super appreciated!

Hi, I would be very grateful for feedback on my proposed refresh of the leisure battery system on my 2013 T5.1. Current set up is an 8 year old Travelvolts SCR with the addition of a 150w Solar panel on pop top. Van is currently used for weekends and weeks away using hookup. I am planning to...

This is something similar to what I have planned but I’ve already got a solar panel

if I'm right in my thinking the microwave should only use 5.17a based on the calculations that it will actually use 70% more power than stated. interesting read here: Here So I am thinking I should be able to get away with the pheonix 1200 or 1200w inverter. I think if I use the microwave a lot...

Top spec T6.1 plus the following upgrades Soft close sliding door + soft close tailgate Koni shocks with 50mm drop spring VisionTech VW badge electricity hook up point 4kwh lithium battery with 3000w inverter Charging options including alternator, solar panel and AC hook up Induction cooking...

Yep, that’s the sort of kit. I’m not very familiar with the Renogy stuff so someone who is may be able to recommend the best combo. I’ve got that solar panel but not fitted it yet so can’t comment on how good it is. Things to think about: Are your cables and fuses suitable? Does the battery...

You can work out how much energy you need for any AC mains device, just look at the power rating in Watts and calculate as follows. For a fag-packet calculation you can ignore losses in the inverter, assume the nominal mains value is 230V and the batteries supply 12V. Suppose you have a...

The lower power inverters can be cheaper and a lot easier to deal with the wiring and heat. The spec of your current charger is 48 x 5 = 240w, apply an 80% fudge factor for losses in the inverter and charger and we get 300w. So you could look at a 300w inverter, maybe a 500w with some...

I was going to suggest a power pack and charger as another option, if you already have the power pack and charger then that's a good thing to try. As the lithium battery in a power pack is a very different thing to your (I assume) AGM van battery you are going to need some conversion. Although...

We have a LWB conversion. Even with just 2 of us & minimal kit, space is at a premium. The only mains electrical gear we carry is a low wattage kettle/2kw fan heater/700w oil filled radiator & an electric blanket. The last 3 items, we only take in winter when we don’t take the BBQ. We’re...

Thanks for taking time out to respond I tend to use my van for two separate roles:- 1 - General camping where the current battery/solar set up has been fine in all but a few occasions but obviously the extra capacity of either the 100 or 200 Lithium would be a bonus 2 - Mountain biking for a...

Thanks very much. Seems a similar setup to mine; I am debating just going for a off grid power unit that can be carried rather than lithium just so I don't have to change lights etc. With regards to your captain seats; are they OEM? they look like the ones from Camper Beds & Seats Are they...

Thanks for the honest replies. Maybe i need to have a rethink... The Cerbo and touch i already have as they were gifted to me by a friend. The lynx was just because the rest of the system is Victron so thats the research route i went down so i will look for alternatives if its not needed. The...

Been a while since we lasted posted, but like to post good quality installs instead of regular updates of just the usual radio/audio . BigWipes back again for a panel to Kombi conversion plus many extras, including full vehicle sound deadening, insulation, 2 tone carpet line. Lithium battery...

What follows is my opinion. Firstly, as already mentioned, you need to do a power budget for your van. Mine looks like this (Standard VW California Ocean)... So I know I need a solar system that will provide 0,7kWh a day reliably, estimate on yield for a solar system based on your...

Have you found the leisure battery yet? What is the Ah figure on it? Minimum Standard for a T6.1 would be a DC-DC Charger between Starter Battery and Leisure Battery for a start. Leisure Battery nowadays AGM as minimum, Lithium as Gold, Size (Ah) depending on how much you expect to need it for...

Hi @DentedT6.1 , you have exactly the same base van as us, 2020 T6.1 T28. For the luxuries you so desire, as we do, have you considered the possibility of a modest solar set up? Ideally you would need a lithium set up, but there are products out there which seem to be getting cheaper all the...
