Just for a bit of fun, a light hearted look at some things you can do off-grid without electric hookup with the Lithium and Inverter.
“So What” with some of the things it’s enabled us to do, and an odd one for a bit of daft 😳
Hope you find it useful too!
On a serious note, it makes no sense to charge your electric car from your camper inverter 😀

For reference we have a 3kw inverter and 460Ah 12V LIFEPO4 Lithium leisure battery which replaced our agm battery;

The Inverter I chose was a GIANDEL 3000W

When working with electrics, please ensure you’re confident in what you’re doing and switch the power off before making any changes, make sure connections are secure and appropriate size fuses or breakers are used to protect your van and equipment. Be particularly careful when working with or around mains electric also.
If you decide to do this yourself, this video is just a guide on how I have gone about it to suit my specific purposes and may not be the best way of going about it. Any mods you undertake you need to personally assess the risk before going ahead and whether it’s needed or right for you. Do so at your own risk.
Everything I purchased is a personal purchase and not sponsored in any way.

You are not nuts David, you have done what is right for you and as you said its a personal choice. It's a nice set up and gives you some great flexibility. The cost may be inhibitive for some butyou can do in stages I'm sure. Thanks for taking the time and effort to show this. Not sure I will ever need the hairdryer 😃. Kind regards

Great vlog guys, thank you for sharing. It really makes you think, we are looking to go off grid a bit more and this kind of set up would really work.

Hi both, we’re still North of the border, great to watch your vlog and how you have used your modified onboard system. I do envy you having so much power available off grid. With my setup I would loose valuable garage space fitting a much larger battery, I wouldn’t be able to carry my spin dryer, and that is invaluable when away for a long time, queuing for machines is a thing that drives me nuts. You can always hand wash and the spinner allows the washing to dry so quick. I think it’s great not to have eggs in one basket. With the rising cost of electric on sites you are able with a bit of solar and alternator to cut down on your grid consumption. Many sites in Spain now charge per unit and you end up with a bill at the end of your stay. My addition of an Eberspacher 2.2kW diesel heater has worked well for reducing our grid consumption as well. Sitting here in sunny but fresh Forfar Loch the Eberspacher soon warmed us up at 7:30am. You have done a great job and your explanations are very good as well. Keep them coming David, cheers from Mike🥃🥃👍👍PS last stop in Scotland heading South after the Queen’s funeral on Monday☹☹

Great video....wondered when the hair dryer would make an appearance....that's the reason I had to install a 3kW inverter for the wife!!! 😜

Good video you are correct it's not for everyone. The most important thing for us off grid is to be able to power the electric pump side of the whale heating for off grid during spring or autumn. With only a 80ah of lithium I suppliment with a bit of extra from a small power bank. Using the power bank for TV and phone charging etc and the onboard small lithium for the blown air. I have 80w solar. All a little under powered in the autosleeper range but will take the plunge for more capacity and bigger charging system....cheers

We must get an inverter this year to get the use out of our 400wh lithium.

Good video, what size DC to Dc charger are you using, also do the know the amperage of your alternator ? Thanks :)

Good to hear your take on lithium. We love having it. Even though it’s expensive initially, we have no regrets. Very eco friendly. Where do you store your coffee machine? We have a pop up toaster in the van too. Very flexible having lithium. Goodness, you can charge a car!!! Who’d have thought it? Be interested to see how you sort out heating the water using electricity. It’s quite easy to balance and ration the power when off grid. We’ve never had a problem. Nice clear summary of lithium. 😊🧙‍♂️

One question, the CV turn off the system when the engine is on, have you changed that? or still the same configuration? I wonder if the inverter could be use while the van is running so you can charge laptop etc without wasting energy of the battery.
