@Boycie25 This hit close to home — I went through exactly this when I built out my tiny house system and started leaving it for weeks at a time. What finally worked for me was configuring a...

Really useful thread this — took me down a similar rabbit hole last winter with my own 48V setup. One thing worth adding to @PikeWalker's voltage drop point: check your absorption time settings in...

@Chris1991 here's the thing nobody tells you about winter solar — your panel's voltage actually rises in the cold, which is great, but irradiance is so much lower that your wattage craters...

@EllaDixon71 the EcoFlow pairing is clever in theory but I went a different route — a cheap Honda EU22i feeding straight into my Victron Multiplus.

@SunnyViking nailed the winter angle, so I'll add the bit that actually caught me out when I moved my tiny house setup off-grid — vampire loads from office equipment. My laptop charger, monitor...

@MoorLee's analogy is pretty spot on actually. Ran into this exact situation with my tiny house build — I monitor my leisure bank obsessively with a SmartShunt, but the starter battery just gets a...

You've hit on something I learned the hard way with my off-grid setup near the water. The corrosion issue gets amplified when you're running high-amp battery systems in damp environments — which...
