I wish I hadn’t looked at the Consort website which is now claiming to have Fiat Autos !
We think we may go to the Newbury show now god help us. Consort are there plus Offgrid power solutions.
It’s the likes of Lenny HB who can hopefully tell us the questions to ask Consort.
The van if there really was one is a 6.4 metre PVC. On the new Fiat 9 speed auto. Standard spec is 2 x 95 ah batteries, 150w solar panel with dual regulator. I know from watching You tube it’s a £29.99 Photonic Universe so not an MPPT . So rubbish. It comes with a 140 litre compressor fridge or you can have a smaller 90 litre one plus a cupboard. We like to offgrid so feel we will need lithium for all season use.
I’ve been reading the Offgrid pages and Roadpro. More confused than ever. Roadpro only ever used 1 or more 100ah lithium batteries, never a single big one.
They do offer a second solar panel 160 w for £550 . They do lithium upgrades but our gut feeling is that if they don’t even use an MPPT controller it would be better to just get the van with it’s basic spec and take it straight to Offgrid solutions for upgrades. Thought? Ideas? Questions to ask please of nigelivy and his team.
We do offgrid in our current van. PVC. 3 way fridge. Underslung lpg tank. 120 ah solar panel and 140w gel battery. We are not heavy hairdryer users but want to be able to use TV , charge laptops .
We would want an idiot proof system, not something that needed lots of fiddling with.
I think we’d need a BM, B2B as we’d want lithium, lithium battery or batteries, another solar panel. Plus maybe an inverter. I know this is dumb but if you have an inverted (pure sine wave due to lap top ) does that make all your 3 pin sockets live ie for your kettle?
Please don’t anyone tell us it’s really easy to do ourselves. We can change lightbulbs , but only on a good day with a fair wind and someone holding a torch
Thankyou in anticipation.
