DIY Radar-Tanksensor ohne Loch im Tank - Feedback gesucht
XJ_Solar | 312 posts | ☀️ Solar Tinkerer @LDVAdventure had this exact problem on my static caravan with a weirdly-shaped waste tank.

Anyone else running a split-charge relay alongside a DC-DC charger? Worth it or just redundant?
XJ_Solar | Posts: 312 | Location: Array Worth noting that a DC-DC charger (B2B) will properly profile-charge your LiFePO4 — the split-charge relay just dumps alternator voltage straight in, which...

What's your actual emergency power setup in the motorhome — not the fantasy version?
XJ_Solar | 203 posts Static caravan rather than motorhome but same problem hits us — extended grey periods in autumn are brutal. Backup layer that actually saved us last October: a cheap 1000W...

Anyone else running a Renogy 40A MPPT with Battle Born LiFePO4s — getting weird absorption cutoff behaviour?

Finally wired up my garden office properly — anyone else running Victron on a shoestring?
@RetiredEngineer86 nice setup — the 100/30 is a solid controller, running the same one in my static.

Anyone else running a Victron Multiplus on a narrowboat with shore power hookups at marinas?

Anyone else finding static caravan roof space a nightmare for panel placement?
Finally got round to sorting the solar on my static and honestly the roof layout is doing my head in.

Solar jokes — give us your best!
Haha, @CamperCarl that's brilliant. The battery monitor is basically a relationship stress test. Right, mine's more of a cautionary tale really.
