highdesertranger, Am I looking in the wrong place when I look at this figure here, which I have circled in red?  I have looked at the manual I have (Here: https://www.epsolarpv.com/upload/cert/file/1811/Tracer-AN-SMS-EL-V1.0.pdf) and page 22 seems to be about connecting the controller...

Welcome to the site. I'm quite new here too but everyone seems warm, welcoming and helpful.

Thanks a lot both. Your help and advice is appreciated!  :) :thumbsup: The load rating for the solar charge controller (model Tracer4210AN) is 40 amps, according to the image I inserted into my last post. Is that what you mean by load terminal rating, highdesertranger? Cajunwolf, I still get...

Thanks for the reply, highdesertranger.  I am fairly sure the MT50 works with the charge controller because they are supplied together as a package. The load rating is 40 amps for the charge controller. It also looks like the wire should be 16mm which is equivalent to 6AWG. When you say you...

Hello guys, I am aware nothing in this life is free and so, in thanks for any help and advice given by the kind membership on here, I promise to make a donation to The Homes on Wheels Alliance via their website when I get my first pay from my new job which I start at the end of this month...

Thanks, Elbear1. The more I look into it the more it seems like its something I can do. I think the issue is more about having the confidence and knowing what you're doing is safe. At the moment I'm drawing a wiring up schematic. I'm trying to find out what sort / thickness of wire I would...

I guessed as much. Thankfully you guys have pointed that out. Because of this I've pretty much decided I'm going to have to build a system myself. Perhaps based n the system I described above, but I don't know if that's any good or not. Lots of things to look up. Takes a while because I know...

Hi Guys.  I'm thinking about which van to buy. I had a look around a van dealer near me last week for inspiration and was quite impressed with the space in the back of a high top Vauxhall Vivaro. Now, I'm quite tall at almost exactly 6ft. And the height in the back (of a high top one) is over...

I like that. A problem thought about and fixed simply. The sort of thing my Dad would have done.

B and C You see this is why I need help, so thank you for helping! I got the figure from here: Gsfish As you can see from this chart sunshine hours varies greatly in England with the changing of the seasons. This is why alternatives (shore power hook up and charge while driving) to solar...

Thank you all. I'm am pleased so many of you have offered advice. It is very nice of you all to give me some of your time and try to help me! Some interesting points raised. With so many people being so skeptical I may end up having to build a solar / battery system - which is something that I...

Hello everyone!  :) In the simple camper I'm planning I will be using the Allpowers 288Wh/78000mAh Portable Solar Generator Battery.  https://tinyurl.com/y3p9zfxv It looks quite simple - plug in and play really. Which is ideal for me. Electrics scare me and I don't plan to do too many taxing...

Thank you to those who have welcomed me so far. I have spent a while reading a lot of previous threads which have proved very informative. eDJ_, if I go back to study for a masters it will be in environmental health.

Hi, I'm Jack.    I live in a small village in Cheshire, England. My main hobbies and interests are fishing, walking and cooking.    I am currently in the planning stages of a van conversion. I will be mostly using my van for holidays. Getting out and exploring the country is fantastic but my...
