Wiring diagram!!! Tell me about it! I might have to contact Roger Donoghue but it seems from another post on here he is quite elusive. SHUNT: A battery monitor is a device which is able to tell you detailed information on load and charge of a battery. It also monitors battery history and the...

To complete this thread I think I have worked out what was going on. I am running a 200w solar panel and NOT on the 240v EHU...since February this has been sufficient to run the fridge 24/7 without reducing battery power if required. Edit: not that I have run the fridge 24/7 since February, but...

Would I be talking out of line if I mentioned roof blisters at this point....:D Seriously though adding a solar panel probably tips most MP's over the 2m limit....I look out for other vans in the car park first. There is a car park I use which has a fixed bar set at 2m but which is a grass...

We are not far away either, but to talk about small world, there are two MP's in my village, both black, both with awning, solar panel & Westfalia bike racks...I haven't seen another MP at all since owning ours apart from the one I drive past into and out of our village everyday :D

Does any one have contact details for Roger Donaghue @ solar camper solutions? I've got one of his units fitted but the panel has failed. Sent three emails over two weeks got nothing back. A little concerning!!! Thanks in advance. Neil

...voila. Regards battery usage compared to the fridge its negligible. Without driving we will easily do 3 days off grid (fridge 2/3) and if you drive about for an hr or so that will probably tick you into a 4th - covers long weekends, week trips need a solar panel install or the few £ on a...

...fully from an alternator. (with the right charging system) For my use it would mean off grid power 12 months of the year without an ugly solar panel on the roof. Your bike has a standard alternator not a smart one, it hasn't regenerative breaking and it doesn't have a leisure battery that...

Good to see you got one, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I also miss carplay and after using the MP's sat nav whilst away over the weekend, you realise that it isn't great as mine is probably 2018 data. The two mods on my wish list are carplay & solar panel, just need to do it!

Hi, I would be potentially be interested in your GYBE bus tent if you do sell it separately. In terms of price for your van, I am not sure if this helps but we've just bought a 2019 250d with 7000 miles from a dealer for 52K and there were a couple of similar priced vans available at the same...

Excellent bit of kit, on advice from PaulMC I had my fridge on setting 3 or 4, 24hrs per day for most of April, which with solar pack doesn't put a dent in the available voltage of your leisure battery. You may notice the voltage dropping down to say 12.?v , this is just the MPPT conditioning...

Thanks GT - I'll give that a go. On an unrelated topic - I've fitted the Solar Camper Solutions 100W solar panel with the MPPT controller - great piece of kit which will hopefully keep the leisure battery in good fettle.

Hi folks, I am seeking some help to decide how much I should sell my MP for. Its a 2019 V220d MP with a 200w solar panel system and a Gybe Bus tent. All the usual extras... but looking at the market I am thinking £58,995? comments welcome please.

Hi. How are you getting on with the Webasto heater? I am having mine fitted this week by Tim Purslow Ltd. I would be grateful for any feedback. Are there any questions that I might need to ask them when I pick up my MP?

Hi @Apojapo, Hi folks, so sorry for the delay, been a bit manic at work. So I fitted two solar panels from https://www.solarcampersolutions.co.uk - really helpful chap, panels are working really well. My need for 240v is really only laptops. I am now looking at taking a fused connection from the...

That sounds good. Did you fit the panel yourself? How easy/difficult was it? I was thinking that instead of plugging it in to the charger circuit I might just run it into one of the 12v sockets. A bit of planning required!

We fitted a solar panel to our MP last year, supplied by Roger at Solar Camper Solutions. We live in the North of England and the battery charge has been maintained over Winter with no need to “hook up” So you may be OK a few miles further North.

...Got it fitted last Tuesday , left it with them for two days and was provided with a new Eclass to get around in. They also fitted a solar panel for me which I took to them. Very neat job of the installation of both items and a very through handover showing me how to use it. They are a real...

Any feedback on the heater install Gary?

:Welcome: welcome along Ian!! My MP has a solar panel permanently fitted on the pop-roof. The PV panel provides power to a control unit which then acts like a battery management unit. It cycles the leisure battery to keep it tip top and I can just forget about it all year round. There is a...

I didn't realise that was the reason. I've fitted some Ctek leads similar to the ones @Grand Tourismo mentioned to my wife car, due to lock down and limited use it needs a charge occasionally. You still need to gain access to the battery to fit them. Easier but less elegant is just to...
