@Dellmassive That's a very useful post! May I ask, how would you wire the output of the inverter to a CBE socket for neatness?
Would you wire up a 3-pin plug with a flying lead to the back of the socket?
As a schematic for what gets connected where it's fine. I think you need to look at your fuses though, for one thing there are no cable sizes marked so it's not possible to say whether the fuses are correct with respect to the cables. And some fuses look odd - for example, a VictronOrion...
Hi All,

My question is - Is the Victron unit worth the extra cash over the Renogy?
Renogy w/bluetooth adaptor £139.99
VictronOrion XS around £250-£270 dependant on deals available.

I couldn't explain how I've shoehorned all this under the driver's seat, just made it up as I went along, but I've got:
Roamer Seatbase230 LiFePo4 (JUST fits in that orientation)
VictronOrion Smart DC-DC 12-12-30
Victron SmartShunt

Hello, i am reading numerous threads regards connecting a leisure battery under the passenger seat. Now i got the live feed coming from factory and i would like to take the main cable and connect to the victronorion tr smart 30a charger.
I read on the threads saying i should take power from...
Started using the Bluetti more and more when camping and wanted to improve how I was charging it on the move. The ciggy lighter socket and plug kept popping out which was annoying, and I looked at swapping to an Anderson type plug but couldn’t find a flush mount option that would integrate...
Just installed my Roamer Seatbase4 battery into the double passenger seat. New Victron IP22 charger and Orion XS DC-DC charger added to my existing Victron mppt charger. I had the factory fitted utility battery so just used the live feed and the black engine on signal cable that was connected...
Right, a morning well spent. I’ve inserted another isolator before the VictronOrion XS DC-DC, so I can isolate the entire LB system. I’ve wired into the isolator the positive from a IP65 blue smart 12/15 mains charger (earthed to my earth busbar). The second isolator cuts off the 12v output...

230Ah Seatbase Battery (still to buy)
VictronOrion TR 30A DC-DC charger
Victron Smart Shunt

I don't currently have any monitoring on my leisure battery so I was hoping to install the Victron Smart Shunt to give me some visibility of state of charge and voltes etc. After lots of research (and I'm still learning) I don't think it will work with the Non-Isolated version of the Orion-Tr...
Evening,
Started to plan a leisure battery under the passenger seat in my Kombi..
The plan is a
VictronOrion-Tr Smart 12/12-18A Isolated DC-DC charger
There is a feed from the battery (16mm by the looks of it) under the passenger seat from the battery already....
Question is: Charger...
Depending on what the current draw is low current VictronDC-DC voltage stabilisers are not outrageous price wise:

Hi all,
I’ve just picked up a 2018 T6 Startline and found this under the passenger seat (photo attached).
From what I can tell it looks like a factory auxiliary battery setup, but it doesn’t seem to have the usual visible fuse board / split charge setup that I’ve seen in other posts.
I’m...
Hello everyone!
Just wondering how to go about adding an inverter to our T6.
Current setup has VictronOrion tr-smart DC/DC converter and a solar charge controller connected to leisure battery, usual EHU connected to fused consumer unit with Sargent PF200 switching Battery Charger and two...
Thanks I had the seat out again today to better secure the battery underneath. I spotted the problem this time, the 16mm² ground cable from the LB had come out of the eyelet securing it. The Orion was still grounded correctly which must have allowed it to charge at all.
So battery secured and...
I collected my 2017 T6 from the converters the other day & there are a few issues with the leisure battery setup. I knew it was a basic setup using a PMS3 & Dc-Dc charger but it suits my needs at least for now as I’ll mostly be using EHU
main issues are the VictronOrion Dc/Dc charger doesn’t...
Recently successfully installed a Victron MPPT and SmartShunt under my drivers seat with a bit of help from the forum and the next thing in my sights once all that is properly mounted is to think about changing the VSR for a DC-DC charger to enable a later upgrade from a Lead Acid battery and to...
