It looks like something out of NASA

Techno by name, Techno by nature!

You should see the dark matter propulsion system he swapped his engine for!

It all started with a question about EGR valves......

lol Andy, you got part of the national grid on board there mate

No, its an infinite improbability drive.

dark matter the the way forward.......to infinity and beyond

No that is a myth. Whereas the infinite improbability drive is a wonderful new method of crossing interstellar distances in a mere nothingth of a second, without all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace. It was discovered by lucky chance, and then developed into a governable form of propulsion by the Galactic Government's research centre.

Stephen Fry explains how it all works here.

Need to see if Techno 100 will be changing his user name to Doc Emmett Brown. Clearly he has developed the'Flux Capacitor' to enable unlimited life support whilst on the road, fuel and power no problem - to infinity and beyond!!!!

but he still gets power cuts at home

Honestly my set up is quite modest but does what I want over and above what I need
Some other FUN members have equal or even better to suit their demands

Hi pappa john,
I have upgraded my panels to the latest lg 350w 24v, they are nearly half the size and a quarter of the weight of conventional panels, i also have a few panels of the same make and type but lower wattage to fit inbetween the sat dish and roof windows, the actual motor home is 8 meters long.
There are a total of 5 panels giving a combined wattage of 1020 watts.
I have never run out of leccy even with wify using hair dryer straighteners every day and the washer every outher day.
We winter out every year in portugal / spain for 4 to 5 months off grid.
Cheers Andy

Can you give us a link to these?

Nice setup Techno and well finished. But i must say 1Kw of solor does sound good

I'm rather sceptical

32v 300w so about 9amps. in usa for $500 each

After all the advice from you experts. I ordered the necessary cables for the inverter, Mega fuse and fuse holder also Isolator switch. So I go to start the instal and low and behold another curve ball that wasn't expected.
My two leisure batteries each have a positive and negative cable which appears to come from the MH charger unit control box. I was expecting the batteries to be directly linked together positive to positive and a feed back to the controller from one of the positive terminals. My question is this,as I am installing a solar panel through a solar regulator and fuse then onto one of the positives and also the inverter onto a positive. Does the set up that I have enable both batteries to receive the change from the solar panel when connected to one of the batteries positive and likewise when the inverter is connected to a positive will it draw from both the batteries.

There is a good chance that the Terminals are combined in the Charger Connection cabinet. But you will need to explore that before you make any connections.

BTW. in the absence of decent size cable, Welding cable is a fall back solution, in any case the bigger the better as the current passed is a Square of resistance.

Yes I have got 25mm2 cables. The wiring diagram shows only one supply so I imagine that this is split from the charger, As mentioned I just need some reassurance that either the solar supply and the Inverter draws equally from the two batteries, so I am of the opinion that once connected the charge or draw must go back through the controller then to the other battery

Link them

 

[PJGWiltshire]

I knew you would solve it...Until tomorrow.....

 

[PJGWiltshire]

Would 25mm2 be sufficient

Yes
Without the links the inverter will draw from the second battery via the light gauge wiring.(and blow the fuses)
Connect you inverter to the +ve of one battery and the -ve of the other.
Connect your solar to the opposite corners.

Many many thanks
