    1000w Renogy inverter question

    Running 240v heating devices off grid really makes you appreciate what sort of energy we just draw from the grid without a thought :cool:

    Feedback on proposed electric configuration

    Hi, I have been working on a spec for my electrics and plugged the numbers / spec into vunked to try and confirm battery life etc. I had a chat with vunked and they were very helpful. Would really appreciate it if anyone can provide some feedback on my proposed set up before I start buying all...

    Fair doos. I toyed with getting only a Jackery but I like the idea of having a fitted electrical panel in the van for charging bits and bobs

    Off Grid help.

    It was never planned but yesterday we purchased an Opus Trailer camper. Never thought I would own a trailer but it's fantastic build and ideal for our family needs. It comes with a hook up and leisure battery setup, but I need to adapt this quickly as we camp off grid without hook up the...

    Portable Power

    @The Flying Scotsman Is the alternator charger as simple as they say, just connect the positive to the battery and an earth Did you put it on the main van battery or on the leisure battery connections We’re did you place the box in the van and route the cable Thanks

    What Have You Bought Today?

    I use it for my off grid 240v. Run kettle, air fryer etc on it. I've only just rewired my van to include an invertor. The state of the vans electrics when I got it, it made sense to just buy and all in one to get me through the first 12 months before I figured out the full setup I wanted.

    Portable Power

    Similar to my set up Wayne. Same LB and I use a delta 2 for 240v. That’s why I didn’t fit an inverter I wanted to keep the power in my LB so I could stay off grid for longer. I can now fast charge my delta 2 with my 800w alternator charger. As well as use a suitcase solar panel. I’m really...

    Electrics self-build help…

    Think carefully if you actually need the mains - these days a solid LiFePo install and staying 12v/USB may be all you need. Any mains device that is a heater is, as @Sim60 has already pointed out, a very different thing and a very significant load indeed. It's not impossible to do (several...

    All electric van - better to use low wattage kettle or induction hob?

    Our new off grid van will have the Clayton LPS with beefy solar.. no gas, except in the stuff we bring if we decide to. So with that in mind I am wondering whether kettle duties are now better served via a low wattage 240v kettle, or the induction hob? From what I can tell, the induction hob is...

    Lithium LifePo4 12v Batteries - Time For An Upgrade?

    Cheers I was tempted by the 160 but knowing I may also then need to replace B2B I may need spare funds towards that! Also concerned with cable lengths and positioning so the 105 should give me more options, would be nice is a smaller variant comes available in time We mainly just run fridge and...

    Lithium LifePo4 12v Batteries - Time For An Upgrade?

    In fairness we now take out a Bluetti AC180 (90Ah) power bank which does the 'heavy lifting' in the awning, leaving my Roamer 230Ah to sit in semi retirement in the van. Saying that it does look after 2 compressor fridges and all the van electrics, wifeys hairdryer and straighteners in the van...

    How smart is your van?

    I like tech and shiny things. I've recently upgraded and rewired my van and in doing so have introduced some tech bits to allow to remote monitoring and control. Interested in what others have in place. Currently I have. Renogy shunt 300 and One core system for battery, solar and overall...

    How smart is your van?

    With the seat base battery, do you have the DC-DC charger somewhere else in the van?

    Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station

    I've got 1, love it. WiFi connection is a game changer for me with my use case. I have it buried under the bed so with the WiFi/Bluetooth I can turn it on. I use it as my off grid 240v (I have a hard wired extension lead) and I also have a 20A leisure battery charger I plug in to top up the van...

    Electrics self-build help…

    Do you know your usage exactly from previous experience or is this a new adventure? What do you need/want the EHU for and do you really need the air fryer? If you don’t need 240v I’d recommend not bothering with the EHU element and invest in a better off-grid solution. Being free of EHU...

    Basic Off Gridding

    I run a mixture of both. Leisure battery with a 1000w invertor to run the starlink and charge a Jackery when needed. I have a Jackery 1000 v2 with a 20 amp charger to my leisure battery. But have also run a mains extention lead to run starlink when needed. I have an unusual setup but I can...
