Hi
Finally after some research and idea changes I have come up with this electrics layout sketch (see attached) for my small campervan
Have I missed anything?
Do you think 400 to 500W of solar will cover the power draw of items below?..........I already have 200W fixed solar panel and am yet to settle on a portable panel in the 200 to 300W range.
I'm wanting to see if we can just run these following items on solar only.
- 25L Dometic Fridge ( 0.92 Ah/h for 24hr per day)
- 4 x LED 3W puck lights (1/2 hour use per day)
- 1 x Sirocco fan (quoting 0.35A / hr on High mode by manufacturer).....8 hour use per day during summer months
- 2 x USB sockets for charging 2 x phones.....approx. 2 hours total per day
- 2 x 12V cigarette sockets as optional phone sockets
- 1 x LED external light strip 4 foot lg.....(1.5A for 2hrs per day)
The battery is oversized for our needs at 200Ah and incorporates 1x 175A Anderson socket and 2 x 50A Anderson sockets, Voltage meter, On/OFF switch to prevent arcing when doing maintenance / hook ups.
The Victron MPPT chargers are oversized in case of future upgrades (100 /20 and 100/30)
A DCDC charger will be added later if Solar is not enough.
Thanks in advance
