Ecoflow Delta 3 Plus to run all 12V through a fusebox, Anyone done it?

[RogueOne]

Looking for some help, advice and inspiration on this please, as well as photos of your similar set ups.

For some context:

We have a 2020 T6.1 Kombi twin sliders that we are installing rear slide pods in to make into a camper when we need it.
I have on order an Ecoflow Delta 3 plus to use as the main power source when camping and not on EHU (Yet to install). Will probably also have portable solar.

So what I was thinking was to run the 12v power from the Ecoflow to a fusebox that will then power all and any 12 V items (Lights etc) anyone don ethis or have this set up?

Will not be installing a leisure battery as we want the flexibility and ease of use of a power station and we will also be on EHU most of the time.

Many Thanks

It's not an ideal setup.

The EF D3 is same as the D2.

It's a regulated 12.6v @ 10A max.

Which is not enough to run the 12v system in a campervan, unless your just running the basic LED lights.

It won't run a fridge or diesel heater.

And you get volt drop straight away over the cable runs.

Then there is the capacity with is around 1000wh, which is ok. But you need the mains or alternator charger to charge up quick.

You will need 200w solar to get any decent charge into it.

Its perfectly feasible, I power my entire van with just a small Bluetti AC70 which powers everything in the van, fridge, diesel heater, lights, water pump ect. the only difference is I use the AC70 to power a 30A 240v to 12v PSU which then sends power to a 12v fuse box then onto my appliance's, this gets around the limitations of the 12v 120w socket on the PowerStation

I use a 200w solar panel on the roof which more than covers all of our power usage during the day, combined with one of the new DC fast chargers. (a Bluetti charger 1)
I have been really testing our set up over the last 18 months during all weathers including -8 in January and it works great, the absolute game changer is the DC fast charger, we are just back from weeks wild camping in the borders and not once did we need or go near an EHU, between the Solar & Fast Charger we are completely self sufficient now.

Thread 'Bluetti AC240 / AC200L + D40 question'

26 Feb 2025

Evening Everyone.

I’m after a little advice if anyone can help.

It’s highly likely that I’m going to use a Bluetti to power my van, it’s mainly on a EHU with the odd days off grid.

My question is The AC240 has a 30amp output that I could wire into a fuse board and has enough power for my 12v fridge, LED’s and diesel heater etc.

The AC200L does not have the 30amp socket but you can buy a DC battery charger that I believe will allow my to connect everything in a similar way to the AC240. The AC200L has more storage.

Can anyone advise which is the better of the two?

The AC240 is...

Soz, extra but from above that didn't send.

You would be bettery off making a 12v batterys box from a 100ah lithium,

Them charge that at home.

Or use the 12v charger on the EF D3

That's great, so it can be done then. Will check out your post now. Many thanks

There are a few members on here with this type of setup,

Using a vicron charger in power supply mode, A10, 15, 20, 30 amp charger depending on your loads.

Please set up does work well but is very inefficient with all the conversion.

Ia 12V to charge up the 54 volt battery pack to change up change up to 230v, to run the charger which then converts back down to 12v to run your kit.

If you can find a way to overcome the inefficiencies then this works fine..

I need your case you have 200 watt solar and the engine dc dc charger, which will easily overcome the inefficiencies and losses in the system.

But at that point you might as well just drop a battery under the seat and be done with it.

portable power packs are awesome I have about 12 of them, I've got eco flows anchors, blue etis, jacqueries, mobile solar and the vectron chargers etc etc etc.

Excuse the typos trying to do this using Google voice to text in a bad signal area.

Its by no means a perfect system compared to the standard camper electrical setup of leisure batteries, split charge, solar ect as there is some significant compromises to be made using Powerstations, but the main advantage is complete modularity & flexibility.

I have been doing a lot of testing with my setup and really been putting it through the wringer, I have gathered quite a bit of data on endurance times, power usage, lessons learned ect, which I have written down in my diary. once I am finished testing and have a bit more data I will write up a "How I did it/How to" guide on the forum so other folk can assemble their own Powerstation setup armed with the pros & cons beforehand.

Look forward to seeing that, and pictures of your set up please.

Thanks for the Info Dell. I plan to run an Alpicool G22 compressor Car Fridge freezer from the Ecoflow Delta 3, tha Alpicool has a DC cord so I'll probably use that.

Was thinking of having some 12v USB sockets and Led lighting with switches off a 12v fuse box!

What do you think?

Here is the link to my van & setup its changed a bit since this post, and there is no information on how its set up electrically, see the other thread I gave you.
But it will give you some idea how I have laid it all out. its taken nearly 2 years to design, build & iron out all the kinks but it now works great for the two of us.

My First Build.......


As for your lights & USB, yes put the lights through the PSU & Fusebox, but save yourself some hassle and just use the USB ports on the Powerstation that what we do.
