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

T6 Highline SWB 102 Acapulco Blue Tailgate x2 Keys, 5 seats/belts. Private Seller Professionally converted by Sherwood Campers in Ollerton. Happy to show all invoices for the professional conversion. We bought the van new from VW van dealership and had it converted to the spec we wanted. Full...

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...

@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

I agree that there's nothing inherently wrong with a 110ps T28 campervan, but I'd expect an inverter to power those 240v outlets on "an off-grid adventure tourer". Perhaps I missed reference to one in the description? :unsure:

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...

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...

Inverter recommendation for 240v 1.65amp load (Bosch ebike Battery Charger BPC3400) I've got an ebike coming this week and would like to be able to charge it off grid. It has a 750Wh battery. I'll post a picture of the charger.

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...

Fully agree... makes very little sense that the MPTT provides a separate feeding interface... my opinion is that the MPTT output should feed directly the busbars. Another thing is whether that output has to be protected against reverse bias (the MPTT itself should have already inner protections)...

Why did you feel the need to add a second LB to start with? My factory LB can run my van quite happily (fridge, USB points, lights). I have upgraded recently so I can run 240v off grid and in the end just brought a power station to keep things simple and can take it with us if/when we swap vans.

My Clayton LPS1500 lets me run fully off grid with access to 240v (upto 1500W). BUT with a fridge running you are looking at 2 days, 3 days max IF you arent recharging it via driving or solar

@The Flying Scotsman We use a Ctek smart charger, which are you using do you know Only asking to see if there compatible with the Delta charger Do you get the approx full charge time of approx 2hrs as advertised

EHU just provides 240v into the van. If you want it to charge anything (LB or SB) you need a charger in the system. Some complete systems (e.g. CBE) may have one included. A custom solution will need one added such as a Victron ip22. I haven’t fitted mine (cables installed but not the charger)...

Hi, I hope you don’t mind I’ve just quoted this on my new post - this might be a solution that could work for me. Can I just ask what your run off this system and how long you can last off grid please? (Sorry to hijack your post @Whittle1000) Thanks

just double checked. The Victron Multiplus have an internal transfer switch that will switch L,N,E when on EHU LNE are pass through with no N,E bond when OFF EHU and on Battery - N,E are internally bonded. - so that onwards RCDs will trip with a L/N,E fault +++ the smaller Victron...

Your inverter is putting a pretty extreme load on the 12v system. If you want to be off grid with 240v heating loads like that you need more capacity and at least double batteries, as you are finding single batteries cannot supply the current.

The Renogy inverter is fine. If its powerful enough for your requirements. Maybe just fit it to a dedicated socket/s And have your standard EHU feed Via CU to different socket/s Or as @roadtripper suggested above. Use the inverter exclusively to run the sockets and have your EHU power a...

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...

I don’t know if this is the best thread to ask the question. I have a ‘traditional’ AGM leisure electrics install with a 130 w solar panel on the roof. It gives me 12v power off EHU and 240v on EHU. If I replaced the AGM installed under the drivers seat with a LiFePO4 would I need to add/change...
