Pennine Camper

Really resonates with this one. Had a "budget" MPPT on my first motorhome build — wouldn't properly communicate with the battery BMS and I was essentially flying blind for months.

@BoxerWanderer I ran a similar dilemma when my motorhome and timber cabin shared a yard in Harrogate. Ended up keeping them separate — and I'm genuinely glad.

@WattGemma makes a solid point about float voltage — this caught me out on my motorhome build last year.

Been running a pair of Renogy bifacials on my motorhome for about eighteen months now, so I can add a bit of real-world context here.

Had a mate with a Westfalia who'd spend summers moored up. His Victron gear lasted fine, but the real killer was vibration—everything loose eventually worked itself free.
