- A quick summary video explaining how Offgrid power works in your caravan compared to at home with a few different ways of achieving what you want to do. I have not included the use of a generator because ive never used one.
An excellent easy to understand explanation on how a caravan electrical system works,thank you.👍
Cheers, glad you found it easy to follow 👌🏻
Great rundown and explanation 🤙👍
Cheers legends
Hi Mark , well explained as always. I also like to run our fridge on gas keeps it really cold,
Yeh our gas fridge is pretty efficient really and now we have fans in them its less susceptible to the heat which has been a win
Great information, very easy to understand and demystifies some of the issues I had with the inverter. No one has been able to put it into simple terms like that for me. I know it is a brief overview of it, but it's what I needed to understand the basics. A massive thank you for that. I feel a little more confident speaking to someone about a system we need in the future. Same with the DC to DC and battery management system. Thank you, thank you. xx
Your most welcome, im glad it came together in a way you could understand. Im not very good at trying to explain things i go on tsngents but i tried hard with this to keep it simple.
Thanks for watching
That was a good simple explanation.
Here in NZ we run 2x160W solar panels. Two x 120 amh batteries.
We don't have an inverter.
We weighed up the costs & decided for the way we want to live, what we have is fine. We don't carry a generator & on the couple of occasions we were running low on power, we just booked into a motorcamp.
Our lifestyle is different to yours, of course.
We're on the road around 130 to 150 days a year. I am seriously considering a portable solar panel fir winter months though. Cheers team 😊😊
Yeh well thats it, if you dont need much then why spend the $ a portable solar panel definitely helps during winter, thr sun angle on flat panels isnt very efficient.
Thanks for watching!
Great bit of info. We are like you, We have a simple setup. We are happy with it. 😊
Dont really need much do you!
Good video. Well done.
Cheers mate
That was a great explanation. Thanks mate.
Thanks guys! Good to see you back out adventuring
@@Ourwhittleadventure thanks mate. It’s nice to be back at it.
Great video mate! 🙌🏾

Thanks god a real life video that makes sense. Well done Mark.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Mark, I've also read that you can't run a large inverter on a small battery as it will draw too many amps and the onboard bms will shut down.
Yeh it would really depend on what your trying to run with the inverter and for how long and the type of batteries you have and their discharge rating.
My inverter is seperate to the BMS so im drawing straight from batteries and my itech ones can discharge at 270A so for me thats not really an issue.
But yes should definitely be a consideration if wired through the BMS as i think mine can only output 35amps
Yeah I'm looking at a 120ah Lithium battery that will output 120a so probably max would be a 1500w inverter. The battery will run the fridge in the car and the inverter for the coffee machine. 😁
Yeh beauty!
what are your thoughts on using a generator
I have no issue with it at all i just don’t want to carry one and the fuel with it but its a good way to stay offgrid
Hey mate, Do you run a DC Dc charger
No i don’t, ive thought about it as i think i get too much voltage drop from car to van but i dont have anything in the back of the car to need one for that
@@Ourwhittleadventure I was thinking of adding the Miniboost Pro.
@jamieweston4495 yeh ive heard some have success with those. Because it charges from solsr while we drive its never been too much of an issue for me but would be a great way to boost up the chsrge on a driving day
Good video. Well done.
Cheers!
