The cheap shunt route's tempting, but I learned the hard way with my static caravan setup. Spent ages debugging a wonky Arduino sketch that kept losing data, then realised the shunt itself was...
Had this exact issue with my static caravan setup. Before you dig deeper, check what's actually drawing power when it trips — kettle? Heater? The 3000 can struggle with motor start surges.
Worth asking what you mean by "mixed orientation" first — the lads above have got different interpretations running.
If it's east/west split, you're trading peak output for flatter...
The adhesive's your weak point here. That 3M VHB stuff everyone recommends works, but only if your roof's properly prepped—I learned this the hard way on my static caravan.
You need to:
Clean...
The voltage question really comes down to what you're actually running. In a Sprinter you're constrained by space, so efficiency matters more than in a static setup.
I'd lean 24V for your use...
The audit's critical, but I'd push back slightly on one thing—don't get paralysed by perfection. I've seen folks measure every milliamp for months when a rough week's logging (as @DownsExplorer...
