Is anyone using a Wind Turbine to help gather energy for electrical systems ?

Yes that's true, the Panel I have is a domestic one though and Open Circuit Voltage is around 38V

Could it be Alternator maybe that caused the 20V spike though ?

Nope. I wonder if it could be the route back from the Alternator,I have a positive cable returning from older Battery at front to Newer battery at rear which I leave isolated often but on this occasion, as Van would be parked up for a while, I left the positive open so both batteries could be...

That's all I seem to get, it's slow as there is Lag. Sylvia is in Garage. Well Outside at Garage so a lot of Power lost from Battery when inside at Garage and now back outside I am getting Solar again

Yeah good point, I still have heating issues in Sylvia and the Carver Fire won't be sufficient as it is to heat her in the Winter. I am looking at second hand propex on EBAY and seem to go for anything from 190 to 250 As an interim measure I am tempted to get one of these...

If I go to Advanced on VRM for the past month I get this If I go to the console as you suggest I get this Not sure why that is ?

Anyone have any experience with these ? Are they any good ?

Seems very high to me, highest I have seen mine go to is around 20V

Found it https://motorhomebuilder.com/threads/violating-a-princess.66638 So you have two large vehicles, that would explain it. Do you live on a Farm ?

Ah yes, fair enough - not a million miles away from me. Missus would need to do another license to drive it. Looks good though. Would be interested when you are ready to sell and why are you selling ?

Think two battery chargers would make it all extremely complicated, just one BMV is OK as you configure it for whatever the system is so it would be like 2 x 120AH 12V = 1 x 240AH 24V I think

@SquirrellCook - Is Murky over 3.5 Tonne Limit, looks like and what is it Mercedes Diesel ? Engine ?

Thinking about it on Sylvia there is a long run between the two leisure batteries Would need the 240V charging system replacing as that is 240V to 12V Current Solar System would work with 24V fine QUESTION then is would it be alright to have a long run of cable between two batteries connected...

Maybe, on the look out for something bigger than Sylvia with a fixed bed A couple of photos would help in the interim, where are you (Murky) based ? Cheers Robert

I would if I had the: Money Time Space to do it :D

Looks good, one for conversion, would be a great project IMO https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-DAF-FA-LF45-150-AUTO-MOBILE-LIBRARY-MOBILE-OFFICE-EXHIBITION-UNIT-/264517103891

This is a standard motorhome. Just wondering what people think of the price it is at now and if anyone has any experience of these Models of Elddis Autoquest 2012 or similar type vehicle, whether good / bad / indifferent and what would be a good price for this, e.g anything up to £30K or £35K...

Thanks for the input Phil, yes indeed it is a bit of an old Van. I am sticking with what I have and upgrading Sylvia who is now in Garage getting some new front tyres and having tracking looked at.... More expense !!
