​@@Steps2adventure Yeah I road tripped around northern Spain last summer. I'm going to head south this summer so thanks for the tip = I'll add that to my list. I'm also super interested in your split-charger that powers the van battery as well. I have a split-charger on mine but it only works one way. Can I add the kit that you have? - as keeping the main battery charged as well sounds like a game changer! Thanks

The HC Cargo split-charge relays are around £40, high current & bi-directional. Be careful which Voltage you get though, they switch off at either 12.8V or 10.8V, the first is for charging batteries & the 2nd is for combining battery banks without killing them when the Voltage drops.

HI there. Just found your channel have now subscribed and liked. Loved the tour. I have almost finished my van but still need to get solar panels, a B2B with solar input charger and, oddly, a spare wheel as mine is missing. You have provided some great links. Hardly any channels promote budget versions of products. You are using these and stated that they are worth the money. That is great as I am very tight on budget for the last few items. Many thanks.

@Steps2adventure

3 ай бұрын

No worries if you do build your van out always put in a seperate b2b and seperate solar input as if it fails that means you will only lose one form of charge rather than 2 we made the mistake of getting a b2b and solar all in one and it failed constantly so we got a renogy mppt for solar and sterling power b2b and it's been faultless ever since 👌💯

Hi Both. Yes your van looks fantastic. Really attention to detail. I'm still converting my ex sainsbury sprinter. The thing with sprinter is regular oil changes as it has a chain driven engine. U2 are so switched on for such a young couple. I expect your parents are very proud of u. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Lovely dog too. What part of the country are u in. Sound like Liverpudlians, Manchester area, don't want to insult u if not spot on. We're down in Norfolk. They call it God's waiting room. Enjoy your trips. Take care both. Oh forgot. Shell vpower diesel is the best as its direct injection. Best wishes David and Beverley Norfolk

Great job, well done! Just wondering does the bidirectional B-B charger keep the vehicle battery constantly topped up, or will it only pull from the leisure batteries manually? ie is there any risk that the leisure batteries could get eventually get drained by the vehicle battery? The strobe lights are a good idea - I have a rear facing set myself and they're a great safety addition if you're stopped on a roadside, approaching slow traffic, etc and they get used all the time.

@Steps2adventure

3 ай бұрын

Hey! I’ve copied this from their website 😊 The BB1240 is able to charge in both directions. Provided there is over 13.2V on the leisure battery (13.5V if lithium) and the starter battery is below 13V the BB shall allow approximately half current (~20A) to flow back to the starter battery up to about 13.4V (float voltage). It simply allows the starter battery to remain topped up when there is surplus energy in the domestic battery. This feature will NOT drain your domestic battery - it simply takes surplus. Once your alternator / engine turns on or you provide the BB with an ignition signal the BB reverts to normal charging of the leisure battery. This mode can be disabled, but is on as default.
