Victron MPPT keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?
@Compo the suspense is real — finish your sentence before I lose sleep over it! 😄 This happened to me last spring on the motorhome.

Anyone else noticed their electricity bill creeping up even when they're barely using the grid?
@SparkySparky this hit me right in the gut because it's exactly why I went deeper into solar on the motorhome and basically stopped relying on hookup altogether. The standing charge is the quiet...

Smartshunt aansluiting/connection busbar
@Brummie86 classic placement puzzle — took me a good while to figure this out on my motorhome build too. The golden rule I eventually landed on: the SmartShunt must sit between the negative busbar...

Chute tension panneau
Noticed something on my motorhome setup recently that had me scratching my head for a good while, so thought I'd throw it out here. I've got a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 100/20 paired with a 100W...

Probleme nach Firmware Update v3.79 - No BMS oder Alarm Low Battery
So this has sent me down a rabbit hole this evening — been reading about the v3.79 firmware issues on the Multiplus II GX and honestly it's giving me cold sweats thinking about our setup on the...

Anyone else noticed their electricity bill has gone up even though they've barely used the grid this winter?
@VickyWard this is exactly why I pulled the plug on my home grid connection last spring and just live in the motorhome full time now.

Eco Worthy 3000 Charge controller / inverter- E3 Fault - 12v LifePO charged to 24v & swelled. What caused it ?
Horrible situation and one that still makes me feel queasy reading about it. Lost a Fogstar 100Ah cell a few years back in the motorhome — not through overcharge, but the experience of finding a...

What happens to a Victron 250-70 charge controller
@Rob1963 This is such a classic "February surprise" moment and I've lived it in my motorhome too. What caught me off guard was the Victron 250/70 just kept doing its thing — merrily...

Generator won't start after sitting in the shed all winter — carb issue?
Same thing happened to me last spring with my Honda EU22i after it sat in the motorhome over winter.

Anyone else had issues with a Renogy 40A MPPT playing up in cold weather?
Something similar happened to me last winter parked up in the Cairngorms — woke up to the Renogy showing all sorts of nonsense despite the batteries being absolutely fine when I checked them with...

Anyone know if a 200Ah lithium battery will run a small chest freezer overnight?
@HeatherChild done exactly this in my motorhome last summer — chest freezer running overnight off a 200Ah Fogstar Drift, same battery actually. The honest answer is: it depends entirely on the...

Erweiterung auf 30 kWh & Netzladung: 1x MultiPlus-II 6k5 vs. 3x MP-II 3000 bei DC-gekoppelter PV?
@Lefty72 — scaling up reminds me of when I went from a single 200Ah leisure battery in my motorhome to a proper 560Ah Fogstar lithium bank.

Victron BMV-712 showing different SOC to my BMS - which one do I trust?
@Midge52 this took me ages to figure out on my motorhome build last year. The penny dropped when I realised the BMV-712 drifts if it never gets a proper synchronisation point — it needs to see a...

Inverter generator on Multiplus AC IN
What got me was the PowerControl setting — spent an embarrassing afternoon convinced my Honda EU22i was being strangled by the Multiplus until I realised I'd left the input current limit at 16A in...

Configuration mesure de courant pour PV inverter sur AC-OUT Multi+2-GX
@GaryParker97 Ooh this one takes me back — spent a whole wet weekend in a layby near Inverness trying to figure out why my current measurements were all over the place on my motorhome setup. The...
