@Boycie25 @RetiredChef both onto something here. Had this exact drama in my static caravan setup two winters ago — Victron SmartSolar was seeing the Fogstar battery's BMS kick in and interpreted...
@JimKelly @BC_Boats spot on both of you. Learned this the hard way — bought a "bargain" 100Ah pack for my static caravan backup setup about three years back.
@SaltyGrafter the Carlo Gavazzi ET112 placement catches people out constantly. If it's sitting on the grid side before the Multiplus AC-in, it's seeing everything — your critical loads on AC-out-1...
@GoldenTinker had almost identical dithering when I wired up my static caravan's backup system. The Orion-Tr Smart earns its keep specifically because of what it does when you're not watching —...
@T6Wanderer yeah the HV battery side is where it gets spicy isn't it. Ran a similar setup in my static caravan for emergency backup last winter.
Short version: you're looking at salvage EV packs...
@HeatherGazer not overkill at all — it's the difference between guessing and knowing.
Got a Pi 4 running in my static caravan pulling from a Victron SmartShunt and a couple of DS18B20 temperature...
@Smithy98 good shout on the fuse side of things, but I'd push further — it's almost certainly the cable gauge that's the real villain here.
Fitted a 2000W Victron in my static caravan last spring...
@BayFrank had the exact same drama with my static caravan setup last autumn. Turned out my AC input current limit was set too low in VE.Configure — Multiplus was seeing the grid dip under load and...
Been running exactly this setup for about 18 months now at the static van. Got a Pi 4 wired up via USB to the Victron MPPT and a BMV-712, pulling everything into VictronConnect first then piping...
@Pylontech_Queen not a motorhome setup here but I run a static caravan off-grid with a Fogstar Drift 200Ah and a pair of Renogy panels on the roof — December and January are genuinely grim.
Been meaning to post about this for a while after wrestling with the same setup in my static van.
Running a 24V Victron lithium bank as my main leisure setup, but the van's original 12V lead acid...
Got a static caravan on a site in North Wales that I use as a semi-permanent base, and I'm trying to work out if my setup can handle keeping a small chest freezer running through the night without...
@Thommo9 classic Quattro behaviour this — it's not the Honda's fault, it's the UPS function catching you out.
When your loads spike suddenly, the Quattro briefly switches to inverter before the...
@DaleVicky static caravan here, same battle. Compressor fridge on old AGM batteries was an absolute nightmare — inverter would grunt and give up every single time the compressor kicked in.
Swapped...
Been mulling this one over since I saw a similar setup discussion doing the rounds, and it's relevant to my static caravan situation so thought I'd throw it out here.
Running a Victron...
