Your manner, delivery and time served knowledge across a wide range of areas is pleasurable to listen to. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. One question please; the interweb gives everyone a voice. There are so many (and I was once one of those people) that don't really understand AGM battery management. Yes we can search for info, however if you did a vid on this and used 'lay man's' terms, it would provide muchly needed, clear detail that isn't out there in abundance. Cheers!

Is there an advantage to running a negative cable all the way back to the starter battery rather than attaching to the chassis /bodywork nearer the leisure battery or dc-dc unit? I read such mixed things and some seem to say don't run a negative cable back to the starter battery if you have a smart alternator and put it on the chassis instead. It would be great to have a video clarifying this for people as you do the best step by step explanations. Thanks for anything you can contribute here.

Hello Greg, Thank you so much, your help and advice through these videos has given me the confidence to intake installations which I otherwise may not have done. Your videos are always very clear and concise, not only advising what to do, but why and as such invaluable to me. In addition to that which I've already mentioned you do seem to think of everything a novice like me will not only need in terms of advice, materials and links to purchase those, but also any questions that I may have. I would also like to mention your generosity and philanthropic nature towards others in providing all that you do free of charge to those who perhaps would be unable to afford to pay for others to undertake their installations and in so doing I'm sure you have helped avoid costly mistakes and perhaps even saved lives.

As a caveat, to be code compliant just about anywhere, you would need to include a RCD "TYPE A" and MCB on the output of the inverter with the simple solution here to be to wire the hookup between the inverter and the board. In all honesty though this inverter does not seem to have ECE R10 Certification for Automotive use, so could not be legalised in many countries as part of a van conversion project and registration, it would certainly be reason for a MOT fail where I am!

@GregVirgoe
@GregVirgoe 10 ай бұрын
Hello Josh, I would always recommend using a DC to DC charger, The only problem with VSR is they are just a switch and do not know the battery type or state of charge of your leisure batteries so do not meter the charge accordingly. They simply turn on and open the circuit to the van when the van is running. A baatery charger will know the state of charge and meter the charge to the lesiure battery to look after them much better. They can change the charging profile depending on the type of battery connected too.

Great video. Well explained. I've installed that exact controller and it's worth noting that when solar and alternator are connected unless the solar is switched off the alternator can only put in 15 amps, not the full 30. You could switch the solar off manually before travelling or I fitted an ignition switched relay which turns the solar off automatically when the engine ignition is turned on. Otherwise it works very well.
@GregVirgoe
@GregVirgoe 10 ай бұрын
That’s interesting. I will do some clamp meter readings to verify that when I get it up and running. That won’t be an issue if you’re driving during the day as it should be made up with solar and at night the solar should be off. Not sure that would have much of an affect. Have you taken any working readings yourself?? 😊

I have the renogy meter and it does show the difference. I'm sure it was in the manual somewhere. I only have a 100w panel and don't often see more than 5 amps coming in, if I'm driving with the solar on in daylight ,I'm only getting a max of 20 amps in(5+15) instead of the full 30 with solar off.

@@davidknights866 ok 👍🏼 you won’t need a lot of power for the Truma boiler. You would use LPG or diesel while off grid and only use the electric elements when on hook up. The boiler uses a 12v 10amp supply from the battery to run controls and supply fan. Do not run the electric heating off an inverter it will kill your batteries in minutes. The boiler has two 900W electric elements so that’s a total of 144amps on a 12v system. Hope that helps 👍🏼😃

I am gradually catching up with all your videos. This has to be one of the very best, concise and comprehensive guides to what can be done today. Your explanations and alternatives are there and, combined with your Edition 18 upgrades, is a model of best practice and bang up to date use of new technology.
