Took out the old lead acid leisure battery, CBE mains charger, cabling various and threaded through a new 16mm2 cable from starter battery to the rear wardrobe. Plan tomorrow is to fit a new Fogstar lithium battery, Victron DC-DC, Ablemail AMT 12-2 and busbars, fuses, isolator etc. I’m going to...

Realistically have a good think how many times you are actually going to change over from EHU to Inverter before doing something complicated. And how often you are going to use it. It's perfectly viable to use it via the inverter all the time and rely on a good EHU charger to replace the...

Thanks, I will do a couple of tests this evening and post on here with screen shots, I think the kettle was an issue so I will try again, do you think the 2kw inverter is TOO big for the bettery setup ? TBH I went 2Kw over 1Kw to future proof the setup, at some point I will swap put for Lithium...

Funny you should say that, turns out I just did as one of the other members of the syndicate wanted to reduce from 2 shares to 1 (y) We have replaced the main bank with slightly larger batteries and thankfully this time no questions, I think folks saw the benefits. We also changed our charge...

Just to check on the fridge - it is a compressor fridge? Assuming so, your 12v loads are a pretty typical off-grid set-up so shouldn’t be an issue assuming an adequate recharging strategy (usually a DC-DC and preferably solar too). The inverter running 240v loads is another matter, it’s...

My kit purchased consists of Renogy 50 dc to dc with Bluetooth Renogy 1000w inverter Renogy 100h lithium battery 12 x fuse box I've part installed (first fix) my 12v bits using multi core 2mm flat cable.. I actually need to get someone to come out and install my kit.

This is true, gas is better at heating water etc. but sometimes people just like a challenge. @czmate1999 has a microwave in his van for example. ( he runs twin 100ah lithiums and 3k inverter) @Rids has a very impressive setup (1600w vic` multiplus) @Samro has nice setup too. +++++++++++...

That looks like a competent kit for a smart alternator van, the Victron units are popular choices. Some thoughts: If you want to make tea off grid I assume you will use the gas hob. You'd need an inverter included to run a mains kettle and it would use a huge amount of energy - the added...

Thanks that looks a decent set up. What I think I will up doing is sorting my 12v system so it runs for longer and then buy a stand alone inverter that I will just charge before I leave if I’m going to use 240 plug ins. Think I would rather have 1 or 2 lithiums and a decent solar system for...

Hi all, I'm currently in the planning stages of my T6 camper conversion and working through the electrical system. I’ve attached below the diagram I've created of the layout I’m going for. I’d really appreciate any feedback or advice from those who’ve been through a similar build or have...

Glenhyrst I came from the motorhome world and thought I know a lot, but without reading Dellmassive's extremally will thought out posts I would have just left my campervan as is..... Now we don't use EHU 95% of the time on the road ( this may change when we visit Ireland for a few months...

Fyi, a 100ah lifpo4 lithium battery holds about 1200wh. Those 3x batterys together would be about 1000wh. So, I would recommend a 100ah lifpo4 battery. And a 30A - 50A DC-DC charger. And a 1000w inverter. .... I'd look at the Renogy kit. They do all the above. 100ah smart lithium. 50A...

Also for consideration if you have a 100Ah AGM you have about 50-60Ah of "usable" capacity so it full power you have max runtime of just over 30 minutes to the point you should start charging. You don't mention if you have a DC-DC charger, if you don't and you have a basic split relay and stop...

Thank you !! I have a portable fold up solar panel 150w a tronix….. if my maths serve me correct which may not I am a builder after all haha it should put out enough to power everything i have, Alpicool cooler box, lighting, and inverter with the tv…. I will know by middle of next week as I’m...

If you are having a microwave fitted have you considered instead going the induction hob route? Currently you have effectively 3 fuel systems (diesel, gas, electricity) and maybe it would make sense to spend the investment on a fixed gas system on increased battery (ideally lithium) and...

I'm with @Salty Spuds on this one, when we do our outings we are rather power hungry. A coffee machine for me, wifeys various hair products, an induction hob for kettle boils, we started taking out an air fryer last year too. The list goes on. However we aren't constrained by underseat space...

Good move, especially as you are not buying a pig in a poke but know what you’re investing in!

That d250 is ok for a 100ah lithium. But if your looking at 200ah worth it might be a bit weak... 20A for 10 hour drive? . Per day, if you was to run the bank down each day? So a good starting point, but you may quickly find out that it takes too long to recharge. Same with the solar, 100w...

I’m still finding my feet with the van to be honest @Dellmassive, but I am actually using it a lot off-grid as a day van. I’m very fortunate insomuch that because I’ve got decent comms gear in there, and a job which allows me to work wherever (ie., keyboard jockey) either when on the road...
