Thank you for that it has made my mind up it’s the way to go the benefits well outweigh the equivalent of the EV problem of range anxiety. We are selling up and going on the road this October full time after an early retirement and plan to travel everywhere around the uk and Europe. I knew it was the best way to go but couldn’t convince myself so thank you.

Hi Trev, it’s definitely been a brilliant upgrade, and we have had NO battery anxiety since we did it👍 Exciting times ahead, roll on October! We wish you all the very best of luck and if there is any way we can help or advise then feel free to drop us a line, sincerely. Many thanks for watching 👀 and engaging with us, we really appreciate it. Who knows, our paths may cross in future and we’ll share a beer 🍻 or two (while our lithium is charged by the sun ☀️!!) Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

Taking all these notes down for when im ready to purchase a motor home, gonna make sure i have enough money left over to get any upgrades like this i may want done either during or after purchase

Hi “Dark”, that sounds like a good plan, and start finding a local fitter (if needed) so you are ready when the time comes. We’ve never looked back since the upgrades, expensive but worth it for the freedom and flexibility it gives us . Good luck 🤞 in your search for a van 🚐 Thanks for watching 👀 we appreciate it, and of course for commenting 👍🍻 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

You were correct you can only use 50% of a lead acid safety with out damaging the battery a fellow motorhome friend is a electrical engineer even uses lithium batteries and solar at his home now . Thankfully when i change as i have said to you i want to ill save on installing lol

Hi Gazza, thanks for your kind words, glad you found the video helpful. Sorry, I can’t recommend the company to you, it didn’t work out well for another one of our subscribers recently, so safer not to. Cheers 🍻 for tuning in 📺 and watching 👀 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

Great video. Can I ask who you used to install as we also live in the Northwest, thanks

Hi Julie, awkward this, I’m not going to recommend, sorry. I had a good experience but someone else who got the company details didn’t. They contacted me via email and after my recommendation went to the company and it went a bit wrong. I don’t want to name and shame etc as it puts me in a compromising position. Hope you understand. 😥

Really useful . We are getting our new swift mh next month . It only has a standard 100w panel . Am thinking after a few months of doing what you have done . In the meantime we have an echo flow delta 2 max with 440w solar panel to keep us ticking over . I was thinking of pricing up Solar versus buying another echo 2kwh battery which would then give us 4kwh of battery that could power the van

Take your time Eddie, work out what your usage is and what the van provides before spending any money . Bet you can’t wait for next month!!!! 👍

Just as professional as channel 5 but much funnier. I’m surprised you haven’t made the switch to lithium earlier seeing you do so much off grid camping and don’t think you will regret it. From my own research I would have fitted exactly the same and may still do so but we still mainly stay on sites so cannot justify the cost to her who must be obeyed! Do you mind saying who fitted it all for you and would you recommend them? Keep up the great videos

Thanks for your kind words again! I’m sure we won’t regret the spend. We’ve deliberately not discussed the installation company, it’s complicated but probably not fair to discuss in the public domain, make of that what you will. If we were ever to meet face to face it would be a great way to spend an hour over a beer! Cryptic or what!! 🤔

Totally understand, will look forward to that beer.

Very interesting. We’re buying our first Motorhome next year and intend to be able to go off grid. Do yo think you’d add an inverter as well?

Hi Mike, possibly, but cost on cost on cost etc, so looked at what we use and only laptop for 3 pin plug, so maybe next time we have some cash 💰 We’ll be doing a review of how the power held up in the arctic temperatures, this may prompt us, or maybe not, to go down the inverter route!! Keep an eye out! Thanks for watching 👍 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

Did you fit the solar and other suff your self ????

No, we used a professional 😂 just done another vlog outlining the cost and how effective it’s been. Thanks for watching. Motorhome lithium upgrade- was this value for money to keep us off grid in the winter? kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZdrpJeYmruzm8o.html

Great watch but how much did it cost, ive been thinking about it but cant find anyone close to me to have a look. Thanks

Thanks Richard. Yes, tricky to find someone to do the job, so may want to look further afield or get a mobile fitter. I’ve deliberately not gone into costs as they can vary so much from van to van, region and fitters. Also deliberately avoided naming/recommending fitters, sorry that’s not helpful. One day over a pint and away from public domain, I’ll have a good old chin wag about it all! 👍

you missed out the most important thing, the cost?

We decided not to share the cost as prices vary and some people have the skills to do it themselves, others don’t. I guess it’s for people to investigate themselves once they have worked out their needs.

Was it expensive

Yes, it’s a lot of money, but more about us being able to be where we want to be and not then being influenced by how little power we have. Deliberately stayed away from explaining costs as it can vary from van to van, region to region etc and didn’t want to get into recommending fitters etc, sorry if that’s not helpful but wanted to keep that part out of the public domain. 👍
