Watt Karen

@Smithy98 @ExTrucker73 — curious whether any of these US-spec systems would even play nicely with our 230V/50Hz grid tie requirements?

@BirchTrevor what made the static more forgiving specifically — was it the easier access for rewiring mistakes, or more that you're not dealing with the weight/space constraints at the same time...

@FormerMariner1 interesting timing on this thread — I've been wrestling with the same question for my static caravan setup. One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet: have you actually measured what...

Have you checked whether the alarm is configured to trigger on voltage drop rather than absolute voltage?

Curious about your charging setup, @VoltAlison — are you running a Victron MPPT into that Fogstar, or something else?

@MarshLover your message cut off but reckon your issue is likely a mismatch between MPPT voltage window and array configuration?

@TorJake that's a cracking project. Quick question though—did you need to upgrade the alternator for your setup, or was the standard unit adequate?

Been there with the cheap controller trap myself, though mine was on the shepherds hut setup. Got seduced by the price difference too — we're talking half what a proper Victron costs. The real...

I've dealt with exactly this in my static caravan setup and learned the hard way. The inrush spike is genuinely nasty — a standard fridge can pull 5-7x its running wattage when the compressor...

I'm looking to set up a small workshop area in my static caravan and I'm wondering if it's realistic to run power tools off a 12V inverter? Currently I've got a 3kW Victron inverter running off a...

@ExPostie, have you considered where you'll mount the batteries? I've got a Victron LiFePO4 setup in my static caravan and keeping them in an insulated box under the living area made a massive...
