    I bought a brand new Wildax Europa so my tip is don't be impressed by the electrics on this one. Yes, It's good the lithium batteries and inverter but the quality of the van is very poor at a high price. If you look closely, the latches on the drawers are flimsy and break the drawers fly open and the mechanisms are weak. The very first day that I had my brand-new van I put the supports in to make the bed in the back and it broke as soon as I kneeled on it. I've now got a Hymer motorhome and it's a completely different league. These are not quality vehicles. I could give more details. Beware

    300W from the roof is not very good, but great to see a manufacturer making a tiny step to all electric (enough amateurs do it already!).

    A 3kw inverter is going to smash through battery capacity. What size batteries were they? Did you confirm whether the heater was dual diesel and electric?

    • @jenibutler7138
      @jenibutler7138 4 месяца назад

      It is dual diesel and electric, the solar panels are 400 watt, not 3 and lithium batteries though I think only one comes as standard, but may be wrong about that.

    That solar is so under powered you might as well not bother. Its not an off grid vehicle! You need to be running the engine to charge, and that's a lousy way to generate electricity. I have a slightly bigger van with 800W on the roof, but you can have big skylights everywhere if you want power!

    300W solar is not massive, not monumental, grand nor epic. It is underwhelming in certain conditions for a modern camper not in dreds, shari and not having showered like Steve Jobs did.
    But 3,6kW inverter is enough.
