I'm really keen on something like this. What exactly is the difference between the Clee and the Crantock? This looks like an SWB to me, can both versions be done to SWB vans?
@BodansCampervans
@BodansCampervans 10 месяцев назад
Hi Martyn, thank for your comment. The Crantock is a package which includes the vehicle and conversion. The Clee is just the conversion on customers vehicles.This conversion will fit both LWB and SWB

Hi Mark, you will need the following items, 100amp lithium battery, 2000w power inverter and then you will need a CTEK battery to battery charger. I would recommend getting an auto electriction to install it for you.

Question please how much will it help to have engine running whilst microwave is running. Will it make much difference? subject to that battery being on the charging circuit. ThanksTony
@BodansCampervans
@BodansCampervans Год назад
Hi Tony, it will help but only slightly and its all dependant on the size of your vehicles alternator and condition of you vehicle battery. For this to work properly you will need it to run from a lithium or carbon/lead leisure battery.

So can that inverter hook up to my normal van battery? won’t be using the microwave a lot. I take it the vans alternator charges the battery?
@BodansCampervans
@BodansCampervans Год назад
Hi Aidan, I wouldn’t recommend connecting an inverter to your vehicle battery especially a high powered one as it will drain your van battery very quickly to a point that you won’t be able to start your engine. Alway try and connect to a second battery that can be charged from your vehicle.

As a simple rule, to calculate how long a 12v deep-cycle battery will last with an inverter multiply battery amp-hours (Ah) by 12 to find watt-hours, and divide by the load watts to find run time hours. Finally, multiply run time hours by 95% to account for inverter losses
