We have finally got around to booking the van in with VanBitz to have tonnes of things fitted, amongst these are solar on the roof and a 1800w inverter.
My first question, for all those who have panels and inverters, we will really only use the 220v to power our coffee machine (1400w) possibly the microwave every now and then (it's a 650w, but no idea what it's power consumption is) and the wife will want to use the hair dryer. We will have 2 x 110a leisure batteries, and 150w on the roof. How long is that going to provide power for when off grid? I know that is very much a how long is a piece of string type question.
The second question, and this is possibly the silly one, how is the fridge going to know to go over to gas rather than use the 220 supplied by the inverter? Do I have to manually select gas?
