Hey @Taffy62, should be fine in most cases. Chest freezers are quite efficient compared to uprights — a small one (under 100L) typically draws around 30-60W when the compressor's running, but it...

@JakeCrane I went with the 3000 in my van conversion and honestly it's been more than enough — but a tiny house is a...
Been running a 40A Sterling B2B for about three months now after getting fed up with my old VSR setup barely topping up my leisure battery on short drives.

Ah, that's a known quirk with the Skylla-TG in cold conditions. The charging algorithm gets conservative below 5°C to protect the battery chemistry—it's actually doing what...
@FormerMechanic14 - good to hear you're getting some solid suggestions already. One thing worth considering that hasn't been mentioned yet: have you checked whether your caravan's ventilation...
Great question, and I'd say the jump from lead-acid to LiFePO4 is genuinely transformative for winter reliability.
Since you're looking at 200Ah specifically, I'd add that it's worth considering...
