Not foolish at all, very sensible questions. You are correct the cig lighters in the cab do run off the vehicle battery so not a sensible option other than for brief use. If I were you I would instal, or get installed, some cig lighter power points in the back of your camper wired into the...

I've ordered a new t6.1 with amg battery and terminal block this is required and not a option for the second battery, from my understanding you have battery monitoring in a digital display above your head in the Center console , the terminal block under my passenger seat allows for cables to be...

4173Wh (330Ah) Lithium Battery Box -- How I Done It -- its that time again. . . battery box build time. but this time i need MORE POWER, were off camping for a 4/5dayer at the racing track - But the weather is not looking so good. that means Solar will be poor for the recharge. . . . . and...

p4 after this weekend at T6F summer camp, I've decided to get a second compressor fridge . . . looks like the 4x4Raptor ones i posted abovce have been very popular and sold out !! so I've done some digging and found some similar cheaper units. . . i went for this one . . Portable 40 Litre...

The reason is that a lithium rest voltage is way over 13.5v when charged..... and SLA is way lower. Because it's just a diode an a box with an inline current limiting resistor it works on the principle of the 0.6v drop across the diode. The lithium will always be higher..meaning that it will...

I bought the Raptor 4x4 Polarbox 42L fridge after @Dellmassive posted about it. We drove to south west France over the weekend and we are impressed with it. On 12v off the starter battery it drops the voltage from 12.4v to 12.3v after 7 hours, this is the most we have run it for so far without...

Not necessarily . . . a MSW may work. though i did have issues with a Dewalt 24v battery charger once that just got HOT and made a funny high pitched noise (so i stopped using it). i think the the Step mode switching power supplies (that are in most modern PSU / power supplies) can have issues...

For sale is our beloved 2018 VW T6 2.0l manual gearbox Long wheelbase camper van. We originally purchased the Camper along with a hire business however between working full time jobs and having kids we have seldomly hired the camper out or used it ourselves. The Camper can be purchased either...

if only I could find one in stock

looking good . . . . get some more Beer in there =]

Cheers mate, appreciated :thumbsup:

I'll probably go for the Votonic at least for now, as the Van battery is lead acid. Thats 4 charger's i'm up to now! (B2B, MPPT, 30A EHU, 2A trickle). I'd contemplated one of these VOTRONIC - VBCS 30/20/250 that will do all of the above, but I quite like the idea that with separate chargers, a...

- nearly all the B2B / DC-DC chargers rely on the Solar being connected to reverse charge the starter battery. . . . this is due to the fact that they are only charging when the engine is running and alternator producing power and charging the starter too.. so you can choose a MPPT that has a...

Hello to everyone, I have been watching the forum a lot over the last half a year to which i finally made an account a couple of months back. I've now paid for the membership as i believe the information on here alone is worth tenfold that. I just want to start by saying what an amazing team...

If you want to run a battery/inverter system to provide mains power, you need to see how much power you want to draw. What are your lights and power tools rated at in watts? When you specify an inverter you’ll need to over specify so you’re not taking it to the limit. The next thing is the...

personally for a camper I can't see the need for an inverter unless your really off grid and need to run a hairdryer. Our thoughts were if we need any 240V's we would be on a site and out setup is to have a 240v hook up that connects to a couple of sockets in the van, so they only work when...

Good morning, After our brief conversation with a Moderator yesterday I was OK'ed to advertise a friends unwanted competition win. He’s not very tech savvy so has asked me to help out!! He only received it a couple of weeks ago but due to his partners deteriorating health they think it would...

Hey, GoatBoater, Do you have any information about your set up, battery charger location, what battery charger you have etc etc. Most van set ups have everything that you use day to day, lights, usb, fridge etc running off your leisure battery, 12v. Then when you plug into the grid, 240v, the...

Here’s a handful that are advertised on this forum that are around that price range (listed oldest to newest advert)
