Can’t remember what does mine, may be the EBL but when I run the genny I still get a trickle to starter battery. Relay would definitely be cheaper and easier than an EBL if that’s it lol

Should be an easy fix once you can get to the inside. Bonus really that you had other job to do in that area, mitigates the pain a little. My van has no vision to the rear except side mirrors and reversing camera but the camera makes it so easy to back up to things without contact. Mine is a...

My setup was dead easy with the Votronic gear, solar trickle charges 1amp to the starter battery so it’s always getting a top up. B2B just charges hab battery when engine runs, no relays needed. You would think Victron would have realised by now folks are fitting their gear to motorhomes/campers...

My van is a year older than yours Dave and it’s all 12, just a few 240v sockets for if you get shore power. Like Trev says 240v charges battery’s to provide lights. Saying that one of the son in laws worked for Swift (I think he said) years ago and kept trying to tell me everything is 240v lol

Do you need 4 going to Lifepo4 Dave? I have been doing fine with my pair and thought usage was similar?

Where is the £2500 coming from? Two infinity sub zeros are £1300?

OR... save the £200 notes on the Victron, spend half of the saving on a Chinese diesel heater and you have redundancy :)

It is expectations as well, if you buy a used van at circa £20 k and have a few problems you just sort it out and get on with life. If you have spent £ 60 k upwards on a new one i would expect perfection, in fact any amount on anything new I would expect perfection unless i knew about...

There is no legal requirement and nothing on my insurance

Anyone on here have or had lpg system on their car or van as alternative to petrol? I seem to think that you could have a remote shut off valve for these that ran off 12v for when you went on ferried and placed where it had to be isolated. If I am remembering right that’s the sort of thing you...

Not yet lol

I turn my gas off at the tanks when I refill and that’s it, both cylinders have crash valves and will switch off on impact

Too late for you now Dave but did you remember to ask Charlie for price for Gaslow bits? He can usually supply cheaper than anyone else

We are talking about commercial and here. They are supposed to get thrashed to death, a used the. Replaced. Do t think any of them are designed for long life are they?0 Isn’t it up to the owner to treat it?

Hmmm, I thought they were supposed to pull more on initial start then drop to or below rated watts. No can they call that an 800W model?

That’s no rabbit, look at the ears. Surely it a hare?

You do it the right way Debs, what other reason is there for a self build than to build it how you want it 👍

That’s what happened with mine Dave but much shorter life lol

Yes I can see them okay, dogs wanted out just as I finished typing but hadn’t pressed post. I like it so far, nice to see something different. Keep it up 👍😁

I haven’t done a conversion, my mind says I want to but my body says keep on wanting so I am in a coachbuilt lol. Your groundwork sounds good, I am much shorter but felt the same and went with a fixed bed. Never regretted that choice once and had van over two and a half years now. Mine is also...
