I know there was a discussion on one of the forums about this but don’t see it here. I am just swapping inverters and there are a couple of things in the manual have me unsure which way to go. Grounding: I don’t use the earth ground on the case of my inverter as never really been happy that it...

One of the stainless steel bands on the saddle that holds my calorifier down has snapped. I have been looking round a few chandlers as SureJust who made my calorifier seem to have gone AWOL, or at least their website content does. Anyone know where you can buy the stainless steel strap/saddle...

Just wondering if anyone has experience of the Photonics Universe badged Pure Sine Wave inverters either good or bad? I am tempted to get the one below to run my induction hob during periods of good solar harvesting. I know cheaper price can often mean unfit for purpose on what you think and...

I am not sure what the proper term for it is but I want to remove the plastic trim that sits in the door well (?) on the passenger side. It’s the bit you put you foot in before getting up to cab floor level. Driver side is easily removed by unscrewing the two very obvious Phillips head screws...

Silly me forgot to turn of my EBL100-2 during my recent retiring work and managed to spike my EBL and Control panel. This was towards the end of the week before Christmas. Half my van functions without the EBL but I do still have stuff I need going through it, 12V fridge, most interior lights...

Just a head up that Votronic now have a blue tooth module and also have a smart shunt. You cannot buy the smart shunt on its own at the moment though. Bit too late for me but may be useful to others as I do think Votronic more suitable to vehicles but only my opinion 👍 Bluetooth...

I don’t want a discussion on how bad generators are I just want to pick the brains of anyone with recent experience. I have been running my Hyundai HY1000i for almost two years without any problems except having to replace the pull cord but that’s normal wear and tear and probably my starting...

Can anyone tell me how many amps at 240v I would need for the Victron Blue Smart IP22 12v - 30amp and the Blue Smart IP22 12v - 20amp chargers please?

As far as I am aware nobody seems to have done this yet on a van. These slide outs are really getting some lateral (no pun intended) thinking going, love some of the things people are doing with them. Is this Dave’s next project? 😂👍

Has anyone come across a source for one of these units (pics below)? My electric step has stopped working and it’s looking like it may be the relay, tracked it back today and it’s not a simple relay. Seems I am missing a remote fob lol

Was going to post this in one of my other threads but think it its own thread. Winter is getting closer so time to sort what I am going to do with mains charging. My generator is a Hyundai 1Kw rated at 900W continuous. While a bigger genny would give me more options I can handle this one and...

Can someone explain what amps would be delivered on each output on maximum output, is it 20amps divided by number of outputs connected or 20amp on each connected output? Victron Blue Smart IP22 Battery Charger 12V - 20A 3 Output...

May not be something most people would do in their van but I know some of you have calorifier fitted like me. I have decided I am going to connect the 1Kw element that is fitted to my tank. The element has temperature control built in so I think I only need to fit a breaker and switch. Here are...

Whats thoughts on these? https://www.sunshinesolar.co.uk/Item/VP2000

What’s your opinion on these units? Shane sent me the link, he is looking for removable options for his Vw Cadi Maxi or whatever it’s called https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Caddy-Camper-Van-Sliding-Ply-Pod-Bed-Seat-Table-Drawers-VAN-FURNITURE/143579573555?pageci=0ab8344a-1055-4911-97df-afb05680de80

I have been trying to remove a dashboard switch in my Sprinter based van but can’t feel it releasing. So far I have been using strips of old credit card like I used to do with my Vauxhall’s without any joy. I do have the instructions for dismantling the dash but that seems a bit ott just to get...

I have a friend who is going to fit solar and I would like some clarification on which Victron controller he needs. Total of 600w solar which is made up of 4 of these https://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/12v-150w-xplorer-solar-panel-for-caravans-boats-motorhomes/ Using the calculator on the...

Just posting this for info/comment as it isn't something I know anything about but I have seen a few of you use Victron monitoring software that doesn't have Bluetooth connectivity. I may be reading this wrong as I say its not something I know about but I 'think' this will let you connect up via...

I know at least one person on here is running a calorifier for hot water so would like to pick their brains. I have a Sprinter based coachbuilt that has been changed quite a bit from original by previous owner(S). The hot water is produced by the engine coolant going through a single coil...

Thanks for setting this up so quickly ?
