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...

Have to agree with the need for a lithium profile charger as I've only used mine once prior to actually using the setup when actually camping, since then the battery hasn't dropped below 86% full. My ambition is to get rid of the gas bottle especially with the Renogy 2kw inverter being £230 and...

What I find remarkable is that with lithium it's now viable in a small van to do this if you're happy with the budget and space. I've had full independent mains on the narrowboat for 20 years but that relies on a massive shelf of bubbling lead acid vats in the engine space and an industrial...

Out of curiosity I did a back of the envelope calculation. Assuming a spend of about £1000 on a 200ah system with solar + inverter and 20p per unit of mains electricity: £1000 will buy 5000 kWh of mains 200ah at 12v is roughly 2.5 kWh So your break even is broadly 2000 complete cycles I...

So my factory fit LB is now 7 years old and had another hard winter with van in storage. Was struggling last year so suspect it's on its last legs now. Been looking at replacing with a lithium but under seat placement restricts size. Also would need to upgrade B2B (plus add inverter). All...

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...

Thank you for the photos, very useful to see what others have done! Back to the drawing board on my set up but I think I have it sussed now!

Personally with anything managing lithium I'd stick to reputable brands from known sources. There is a huge amount of energy in them and you are fitting them under your seats. There are many areas to save some cash in, this is not. 1. You want MPPT in solar not PWM. All in one devices save...

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!
