@SolarNeil, £200 is a tight squeeze but doable if you're realistic. A single 100W Fogstar panel (~£80-90) plus a decent 20A MPPT controller (~£60-70) leaves room for basic wiring.

@HiluxLife that's a sobering reminder about cutting corners on isolation – definitely not the place to save a tenner. @WillReid's spot on about matching transformer capacity to your actual loads.

Great to see so many positive experiences with the Drifts! @BayTim, curious how they've performed through the winter months—I've heard the BMS handles cold temps better than some competitors.

Great thread, this. @MarineGaz, that's a solid foundation you've got there. The Multiplus is a workhorse—really reliable bit of kit. What I'd add to what @RetiredNurse49's mentioned about winter...
