    Ive seen soldered lugs like that heat and come lose over time
    I always crimp

      Have not had any issues, yes crimping is an alternate way to do it. Thanks for watching

    Hello, im looking to do exactly what you have in my jayco caravan, keen to know if youve had any issues since installing the inverter, e.g batteries not charging correctly any impacts on your bms? Theres a lot of talk of needing a shunt but im really not sure its needed and hope i can install just like you have. Cheers for posting the video

      Hi Bevan, thanks for watching. We have had nil issues with the inverter since installing. Very happy with product

    Well done. Do you need 2 batteries or would it still work with just one? Something for us to think of in the future. Can’t wait to get our new Essential van. Time goes slow when waiting.

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  2 роки тому +1

      Oh yes time does go slow doesnt it but next mintue your van will be here yay. Jon says it depends on what size inverter you get and what battery system you are running

      @@onlyleavingfootprints thank you for your reply. We have put in for a lithium battery in the build. Will have to see how we go, also how we go doing some free camps with just what we have. Must also keep a check on our weights with the new van too. May also upgrade our vehicle sometime too.

    Does an inverter need to be earthed to the Caravan frame🤔🤔🤔🤔

    • @onlyleavingfootprints
      @onlyleavingfootprints  Рік тому

      Hello there. I am not an auto electrician but I just put the minus on the minus side of the battery and the positive on the positive side. Thanks for watching 👀

      @@onlyleavingfootprints I thought I would ask before reading my owners manual, I have just got to reading the Enerdrive owners manual of my 2000W inverter I purchased and it definitely requires a heavy cable to the caravan chassis form the earth/ground terminal on side of inverter.

    If you have a Projecta battery management system in the van, you will need a Projecta Shunt or your SOC, State of charge will out and cause issues charging when free camping
