...my 2019 MP and very happy with it. I will be driving it throughout the winter as opposed to sleeping in it. Would you recommend that I leave the coolbox (fridge) on? I have a solar panel on the roof and the person I bought from said it kept chilled because of this. Any thoughts? Thanks in...

Got my solar panel fitted from a nice chap in Taunton it works perfect

...5 seater when needed. Side awning, removable tow bar, aux heater with remote control, 360 camera system and self parking package. 100w solar panel with MPPT controller, Rainbowscreens thermal pop top cover, thermal screen covers. 31600 miles, Full MB history, habitation check done 3 months...

Many thanks for this. For the moment I'll see how I get on plugging my 6W Halfords solar panel into the OBD2 socket - seems nice and simple so far.

No, Victron make premium quality products but I don't think they make a MPPT controller with the ability to charge 2 separate batteries. This would do the job but best to contact Solar Camper Solutions as he sells a charge controller and the required wiring to do the job.

Interesting - thank you. I have the Solar Camper Solutions 100 W panel with the VictronConnect Bluetooth MPPT controller, wired into the charger per the instructions. Does this mean that the panel is already charging both batteries, or do I need something else to achieve that result? Thank you.

...that it is connected to the main battery - I suspect it is just linked to the secondary battery (which should be ok as we have a larger solar panel on the roof connected directly into the battery charger). Does anyone know if the MP has a live socket which I could plug my solar maintainer...

Take the plunge Steve, you will never look back. After a day trip and if I am going out the next day I leave the fridge on overnight or if I am planning a day trip (and I remember) I will put the fridge on the day before to chill it down ready. A 100w panel keeps the fridge going for days on...

The solar installation is complete with a Victron charge controller, LCD panel, etc. I'm in Switzerland and having CaliSolar install it as they use a kit that does not require them to drill holes in the top or use glue (attaches to the C-rails) so it can be removed easily if desired. I asked...

...bad). I've asked the Dealer to test this for me and send measurements in Sport mode and he's happy to do so. I'm also going to fit some solar panels (flexible from a company here called CaliSolar) for 320 watts. Can't wait! Worst case is I'll need to rent a parking space and get rid of the...

...on, I know you were thinking of removing the awning but if you leave the awning on it is a little taller even than the 1.99m - I have a solar panel fitted as well (which I really like and I would not be without) this raises the height a little more by circa 25mm Regarding the adjustable...

Hi ...where are you based? Cheers Shah

Sold my van so I have a number of items for sale, will be collection only due to size Solar panel setup from Solar camper solutions. Two panels (only one in picture as added second at later date but identical panel) total 220watts on black frame so looks better and MPPT charger cost nearly...

So how do you charge the additional battery(s) and what do they power? I am thinking of what my solar panel is charging and what my fridge is powered by and which sockets are powered by which battery. I need to be sure that my solar panel is charging the same battery that is powering my fridge -...

Not sure this is correct:) but things may have changed…. In mine (2021) there are 3 batteries…. Leisure under passenger seat (accessed by panel on side of seat by passenger door) + starter battery under driver seat (accessed by panel on side of seat by driver door) + start stop battery...

...the only battery. The thing under the bonnet that looks like a battery isn't a battery - it is just terminals that allow you to connect a solar panel or jump leads or other battery charger. I only discovered this when I got my portable solar panel. There is no monitor for the battery. I have...

Hi there. I’ve just taken ownership of a 2018 MP and have the same frustrating problem with the fridge - or should I say freezer!! Food frozen solid at low setting. Did you manage to find a fix for this? Thanks , Richard

Hey Tambo, and welcome along :Welcome: good to have you on board!! Is the new control unit working OK now? because I think the issue might be with the fridge if the control unit seems to be working ok. There are threads on here somewhere about the fridge temperature sensor packing in and just...

...already been on 4 adventures - it is perfect for the two of us and our 3 dogs! We absolutely love it! So to set the scene, we fitted a solar panel in May, and on the same holiday the control panel packed in (the previous owner had spilt something sticky on it - but to be fair, it is a...

I have a 100w solar panel fitted which charges my leisure battery at roughly 2-3A depending on the sun, maybe you could fit the same (or even two panels in series giving 200w) but instead of the output charging the leisure battery you could charge your e-bike batteries?
