Apologies if there's already a thread on this, I checked this one but can't find what I'm after (unless I missed it). Anyway... I’ve got a Starlink Mini that I currently just stick on the roof with a magnetic mount and run the (700000ft long) stock cable through the window into a 3-pin plug. It...

Do you know your usage exactly from previous experience or is this a new adventure? What do you need/want the EHU for and do you really need the air fryer? If you don’t need 240v I’d recommend not bothering with the EHU element and invest in a better off-grid solution. Being free of EHU...

the Renogy kit is Chinese made, like the rest of it., but Renogy kit is very good. I've got the older version of that panel: https://www.t6forum.com/threads/guide-mobile-solar-panels-how-i-did-it.13225/post-260864 ... more info...

Thank you! Last two questions. As per the diagram below, isn’t there already a fuse for the battery? (Red arrow) and if I just disconnected the white clips and the solar (the green arrows), this should be safe to keep the controller connected to the battery when the solar is not in use?

@digitalsteve1970 Hi Steve, Yes, I installed all of my gear back in March/April in good time for my 10 days over in the IoM for the TT. As you know, I have an All Seasons van as well, also using the EC700 consumer unit and control system, plus I did have the PX300 shore charger. I replaced the...

- defo dont go on the NEG post for the charger. . . . only use the NEG post for a just start. that becasue the sensor on the battery wont see the power coming in from the charger. . . . use a chassis NEG point, like ligh bracket bolt or other. +++++ +++++ Charging: Battery...

Thanks @Dellmassive

looks to me like the panel has failed.? is you get volts say in morning, the sun come out and you loose the volts, its normally thermal expansion causing micro cracks in the cell connections go open circuit. so cut the panel off. . . fit vinyl wrap and stick down a new panel to that. +++...

This is exactly how I am doing my Van. They have a built in inverter so can run the microwave and I have changed to an electric hob so I no longer need Gas in the van. My solar panel also wires directly into the echo flow without needing another control unit.

See how the van handles, if it feels light and skittish drop some air out, if it feels a bit smeary on corners and your sidewalls are a bit blue looking then blow them up a bit. Going back to the Euro plug to blue 16A SKT adaptor lead don't leave it on a shelf in the garage at home... yep, I...
