    Best use of spare LiFepo4 battery.

    That’s what I’ve got. I don’t have an inverter and comfortably get 4+ days without any charging using lights, USB chargers, fridge and heater. The solar (a 200w Renogy flexible panel) makes the system everlasting in all but the worst prolonged period of weather. I hardly ever use the DC-DC and...

    Roadtripper's Caravelle tinkering

    So left the fridge running overnight and rotated the panel to better catch the morning sun and battery was full again by midday. So quite confident the fridge could be mostly self sufficient in the summer. I do then wonder how best to make use of any "excess" power but the fridge does have...

    Dellmassive`s Camper Van Adventure

    I’d suggest borrowing, hiring, or finding a van with a 112cm setup to test it out and see how you get on. As you’ve mentioned, compromises will need to be made between bed space and storage. If you find that 112cm works for you after a trial, then it seems like you’ve got your preferred layout...

    Sold 75Ah AGM leisure battery

    ...deliver or meet halfway. This would be ideal for a cheap, basic leisure battery setup with just some low power stuff like lights, or a small fridge. As it's AGM, the usable capacity if you have a DC-DC charger is 50% of capacity, so 37Ah, roughly. That's enough to keep a CRX50 type fridge...

    Hi All,

    I'm really looking for something that I can still carry a few small things around for work, (I deal in Antiques and Man Cave stuff) but use for days out with occasional overnight camps, don't need a full gas cooker type set up though, boiling a kettle and fridge would probs do but I'm here to...

    What do you always keep in your fridge?

    ...sites so when at site I tend to fill it with drinks and set it to about 10 (cellar temperature). That P18 is really impressing me as a small fridge @z1ts especially if you can find the battery pack for not silly money...

    Looking to buy a Compressor Fridge

    Got our first van / camping trip booked for August so just trying to kit the van out in preparation. I want to keep the van multi-purpose so today I picked up the Ecoflow River Pro 720Wh Portable Power station with 160 watt portable solar panel to keep us powered up. I'm planning to use this...

    Hi All,

    Welcome, sounds pretty much the same kind of build I have just started on myself. I decided I will add a very small sink and simple camping stove that slides out on runners to make a tea

    Evo motion design and Vanshades - can they work?

    Similar. On mine. The main cluster on the side beyond the fridge door so it doesn't foul them are 240v x 2, USB A & C, Rear & Middle recessed lights, Inverter control panel. If didnt use full length side panel would make a small panel and fit to carpeted lining for this cluster. I have two...

    Swapping my leisure battery to LiFePO4

    @roadtripper I'm normally off on a tangent and had assumed the fridge was 12 volt but powered by a charger similar to the setup I had with my Sargent ec160 panel. I did reply earlier in the thread about being able to isolate the IP22 charger and assumed that the fridge was fed directly from the...

    First use fridge query

    I have a 25l top loading compressor fridge. Took a last minute trip to the beach for dinner the other night. Put the fridge into freezer mode (-18c) with only about 25 min notice, put it in the van (using a power station to run it) and we had ice creams by the beach after a play. Has the benefit...

    Forty Winks Bed & Slideaway - initial thoughts, and some woodwork...

    Thought I'd share my experience of the FW setup (bed and slider) after first proper use. I fitted the bed and Slideaway last month before a trip over to France. Fitting was easy (just remember the Slideaway horizonal bars can go two ways, and one isn't right!). The bed is big and very comfy...

    Roadtripper's Caravelle tinkering

    I need ideas for a leisure battery to fit under passenger seat and a split charge relay please! I can't work out exactly what I need, and the more I read, the more confused I'm becoming! :D I have put this off for 3.5 years, but want to fit a cupboard and fridge so need power in the van! It's...

    Portable battery packs

    Got to make sure your kettle and electrical supply match. For instance, the Ecoflow is happy with 800w (1600w peak). I got a cheapie small kettle that runs 600w and does 2 cups. It takes about 22wh each boil. (3% of my 768W/h). I also got a 10l fridge which I had to lend out to someone before...

    Freezing ice packs in compressor camping fridge

    That compressor fridge I'm selling goes down to -20c and will freeze ice blocks no problems...... As will most of the compressor fridges. (I'm selling that one as I have another two Dometic units - don't need three.... But need two Beer+Food) If you wanted milk in the same unit. I'd just put...

    Caravelle Conversions!

    BR 30 x 30 Black anodised profile - KJN Aluminium Profile << I opted for 30 x 30 mm as the 20 x 20 would be too small for the size units I built and anything larger would have affected the storage space for the dimenions I was working with. I used the fittings you linked to by Stee FRee. They...
