Hello, I was wondering how the plastic hinges are doing? Did they fall off or mark the ceiling over time? thanks Lou
@SalesTriageАй бұрын
No marks but I did find that when the van got very warm over a prolonged period, that they would fall off, cleanly. In my mind it's a very inexpensive solution to replace

@2.4inaVan3 ай бұрын
I wouldn't do that on the side of the van because it makes the vehicle wider. If you had it on the back, then it might work but I'd want it resting on something like a bike rack for stability. I've not tested it though and I wouldn't want to guarantee that it would be ok.

If all your 130 watt panel does is charge the cab battery why not just use a Battery Master to top up the cab battery? Great job though and props for having a go.

We replaced an old Dometic in our 36 foot camper (vented). kzfaq.infoUgkxDDbPbIlwLRcX_ntp51ui5UMtAUGpHYxE The install was a simple swap, all holes lined up, the electric plug back in with no trouble. Getting it on the camper was the most "difficult" part of it, and my friend made it look easy. I've seen people "sled" them up ladders as well though. I watched a KZfaq video for instructions, very easily done. Some say it doesn't come with instructions, but I found the instructions under the ac in the box. I didn't need them, but they were there.It works well to keep a 36 footer comfortable, all by itself. It doesn't seem to be any quieter than the original, but it isn't any louder either. We're very pleased with it. Esp with the ease of swapping them out.

Grateful for the video but the charge controller should be located as near the battery as possible. This is to minimise voltage drop due to resistance in the copper wire. Having said that I have a system that charges the leisure and vehicle batteries. The solar charger is within 0.5 metres of the leisure batteries but nearly 6 metres from the vehicle battery. To keep voltage drop less than 3% I have used 6mm cable . Because the vehicle battery is charged by a smart alternator I take care to remove the fuse from that arm of the circuit when I start the engine; otherwise the alternator will blow a fuse on the leisure battery.
@2.4inaVan Жыл бұрын
Appreciate the insight. There is another video where I add another panel. This panel is now routed directly to the leisure batteries which have been swapped from lead acid to lithium. The charge controller is right next to them. I've added a second smaller panel to charge the vehicle battery via the Swift charger. Take a look if it's of use?

Before you drill and cut holes in the bodywork of your van, check the conditions of the manfufacturers warrenty for water ingress and damp. If a 3rd party does it, outside of the main dealers, then it can invalidate that part of the warrenty I believe.
