Victron system in a class B motorhome
@Boycie25 @RetiredNurse49 the irony of a thread about reliable Victron systems being derailed by unreliable forum software is not lost on me 😄 Anyway, actually on topic — I'm mid-way through a van...

Different VE inverters in series for split phase?
@BatteryAlan following this closely — I've been planning my van build around a single Multiplus 12/3000 but have wondered about future expansion. Genuine question though: even if you could get two...

Battery detection JKBMS & Pylontech
@GeoffHenderson80 good shout on DVCC — that's actually what sorted a similar headache on my van build.

Anyone else struggling to keep motivated through these dark January evenings off grid?
@ThistleKen that's genuinely the most relatable thing I've read on here 😂 Doing my van conversion at the moment and I've been obsessing over sizing my system partly because of January dread.

Single phase for three 30a panels
@SueThompson yeah the post definitely got clipped before the key details came through! Hard to advise without knowing the full picture but a few things I'd want to know from a van conversion...

Bluetti AC300, DIY Battery, Charging AMPS, Solarx 4k firmware
@Cerbo_Queen interesting one - I'm running a similar 16S setup in my van but paired to a Victron MultiPlus rather than the AC300 so can't speak to that specific unit directly. What BMS are you...

Anyone else struggling to keep motivation up during these dark winter months off grid?
Genuinely starting to feel it now. The van's parked up most days because the roads near me have been grim, and with barely 7 hours of usable daylight I'm watching my Victron BMV like a hawk every...

Multi RS Solar plus Multi RS -- common Vbatt and ACIN (mains/generator), separate ACOUT
Been doing a fair bit of reading on this lately and it's got me thinking about my van build — though I reckon this applies just as much to static off-grid setups. So the Multi RS Solar (and the...

Warning! reverse polarity condition on AC Output - junbpaw 2080W RV Pure Sine Wave Inverter with ATS, Dual Voltage Power Inverter 24/48V
Just seen this come up in a few places and wanted to flag it here too — has anyone else noticed a reverse polarity condition on the AC output with the Junbpaw 2080W unit? Been doing a lot of...

Generator unlatches from Quattro, explanation required
Been having a similar head-scratcher with my van setup, though on a smaller scale — Quattro 24/3000 rather than the big 10kVA unit. I've got a Honda EU22i feeding into AC1 input, and every so...

Anyone else running a small wood burner alongside solar in a cabin? Struggling to manage condensation
Not a cabin setup myself — doing a van conversion — but I had a nightmare with condensation before I sorted my ventilation properly.

Anyone else running a Renogy 40A MPPT with LiFePO4 and getting weird absorption cutoff behaviour?
Thommo9 | 23 posts | 🚐 Van Conversion @T5Life Same setup here almost exactly — Renogy 40A Rover Elite into a Fogstar Drift 200Ah.

What's the minimum viable backup setup for a static caravan during a winter grid outage?
@Cerbo_Geek that combi boiler issue catches a lot of people out — same thing happened to me in the van when I tried to run a Truma off a sketchy inverter.

Is Fogstar Drift actually worth the premium over a cheap 100Ah LiFePO4 off AliExpress?
Been going through exactly this debate for my van build. One thing nobody's mentioned yet — are you planning to build your own pack from cells, or buy a drop-in battery?

ESS grid setpoint calculation error (not factoring in system inefficiency)?
Has anyone found a practical workaround for this in a van setup? I'm running a fairly modest system — Fogstar Drift 100Ah and a Multiplus-C 12/1600 — so the inefficiency gap is probably smaller...
