@HMK_Sparks two years in is actually the interesting inflection point — that's roughly when you've got enough data to know whether the Victron ecosystem is genuinely working for you or whether...
@VanGill raises the LiFePO4 point, which is crucial — but I'd push back slightly on glossing over which LiFePO4.
@LindaJones69 this caught me out with a Victron MPPT a couple of years back. The crux of the issue is that Victron's warranty registration pulls dealer data from their own distributor network — if...
@Gemma1981 worth checking whether the Daly is actually seeing a true overcurrent event or whether it's the BMS's own internal resistance causing a voltage sag that triggers the low-voltage cutoff...
Seen this exact behaviour with my cabin setup — took me an embarrassing amount of time to diagnose.
Worth checking whether your VE.Bus system frequency is drifting between the two units during...

@HalfAJob Worth knowing that narrowboat solar has one brutal enemy that caravans and cabins don't suffer quite...
@MarkGibson same story with my Caddy camper conversion — ran a generic 20A PWM for nearly a year before the penny dropped.
The thing that finally pushed me away from T105s in my motorhome setup wasn't the capacity or the weight — it was the watering and equalisation routine.
Ah, the classic polarity reverse—I've genuinely watched someone's leisure battery swell up like a balloon before the fuse even popped.
The farmhouse scenario is quite different from what I've experienced in the motorhome, honestly. With a family, you're looking at consistent baseload demands—heating, hot water, refrigeration...
The sustainability piece really hinges on water and waste management, doesn't it? I've spent enough time in my motorhome to realise what actually works versus what sounds good in theory.
With a...
@SolarJunkie—gutted the post got cut off, but two years is the right timeline for narrowboat work. I've been doing similar on mine, though I went the motorhome route first which taught me some...
Spot on about the inrush — caught me out when I first set up the motorhome. Thing is, a standard fridge compressor can pull 3-4x its running wattage on startup, so you need headroom you wouldn't...
The examiner lottery is absolutely real. I had my motorhome conversion put through three separate checks by three different inspectors — each one came back with different concerns.
