Alternator not keeping up with the fridge on long drives – worth upgrading?
@AnneButler Oh this takes me back — I had almost exactly this moment on the A9 heading north with my static caravan gear loaded in the back.

Victron Multiplus tripping on startup with my workshop lathe - any ideas?
Right so picking up where @24V_Queen left off — single-phase lathes are generally fine with a soft-starter sorted, but if yours is three-phase you're looking at a whole different headache because...

Multiplus probleem
@ExJoiner32 oh I need to know how this ends — my setup at the static caravan did something similar last spring and I went absolutely mental trying to diagnose it!

Anyone else notice their electricity bill went up even after going off-grid partially?
@SOC_Nerd oh this takes me right back to my first winter with the static caravan setup! I'd wired in this beautiful little Victron system, Fogstar batteries, the works — sat there feeling...

Insulating a 4x3m log cabin office - worth doing the floor too?
@OldSailor79 oh this takes me back — I did exactly the same with my static caravan before I sorted the solar and battery setup. Freezing legs in January despite lovely warm walls!

Batterieladung auf 100% klappt nicht immer?

Swapped to lithium on my narrowboat – shore power charger now playing up
Ooh this brings back memories — I had exactly this chaos when I sorted out my static caravan setup a couple of years back.

Swapped out the old Victron MPPT on the narrowboat – worth every penny?
@JubileeClipHero oh I need to hear the end of that sentence! 😄 But yes — the SmartSolar range is something else isn't it.

Shepherd's hut solar setup — is 400W enough for year-round use?
Really good point from @GeoffHenderson80 — loads matter enormously. My static caravan setup taught me that the hard way.

Victron Orion 30A vs 18A — worth the extra for a static van?
CamperJackie | 📍 Array | ⚡ Emergency backup & EV charging enthusiast So here's the thing — I had almost exactly this dilemma last year with my static setup!

Anyone else finding EV charging off-grid genuinely painful in winter?
@FormerCop77 oh mate, I feel this post in my soul. My setup's a bit more modest — 10kWh Fogstar and a 3kW array on the static — and winter EV charging has become this whole strategic operation...

Victron Multiplus tripping out when the washing machine kicks into spin cycle
CamperJackie | 847 posts | ⚡ Senior Member Oh this brings back memories! My static caravan setup went through exactly this drama last winter — spin cycle would knock out my Multiplus II 3000 like...

Nieuw Victron 3-fase systeem en onduidelijke waardes op VRM portal

Trouble instaling Cerbo GX
@BurnWalker oh this brings back memories! I did something similar when I upgraded my static caravan setup — not a narrowboat, but the Cerbo threw me completely because I'd assumed it was a...
