@@chambpain I sometimes set my voltage to charge when driving to 12v and then when I stop or it’s charged to stop it from draining the van battery set it to 14v OR set to 13v and it will only charge when over 13v and when it falls below as it will when at rest then it doesn’t drain your van battery. I am going to do another video in this very subject.

@@alvaroplanchart sounds like you have done everything correctly. You just connect the positive and negative cables to the same on the battery. I didn’t disconnect my battery, when doing so.

@@Stescaff thank you so much for your comment. We are truly blessed and this trip will always be a favourite. Thanks again.

Thank you :) best time is early spring and September onwards for midges. Would love to do this route in the midst of winter though.

@@PierFrancescoSerena-xi5cg thank you. You can connect to either the van battery or the leisure battery. The reason I didn’t was because the leisure batteries are charger by solar and the van alternator. The EcoFlow alternator charger also has the ability to reverse charge from the Delta power station so if the van battery is flat for any reason, I can still start the van from the Delta unit. I hope that this makes sense. Thanks again.

Thanks! Will do!

Hi, no need to realign. Ours keeps its signal very well and on the move.

@@pixx.adventures thank you 🙏 my builder is making me a lazy Susan mount for the dish but it will be great if we don’t have to align it every time we move.

No excess draw on the Alternator. Our van is fitted with a Smart Alternator so works out where to put the power for each of the batteries.

@@pghoward yes you can. You have the choice between the van battery or leisure battery. I chose van as the leisure more or less take care of themselves and would have more use if I needed to reverse charge to the van battery should it drain for any reason. Hope that helps.

@@pixx.adventures Many thanks, that's great news as my Ecoflow is right next to the leisure battery under a bench seat so installing the charger next to them both should be simple. The only problem will be what to do with all the excess cable which won't be needed. I'm guessing coiling it up won't be ideal given the danger of overheating. Looking forward to Friday when it's due to arrive. 👍

@@wevegonetouring I left some out for ease of moving the Delta 2 and the remainder runs under the step and below the floor.

My pleasure!

Thank you. From what I have deduced and don't quote me on this as I need to confirm it, but our vehicle alternator is a smart alternator. When testing, the vehicle battery and leisure batteries seem to take priority and the power to the EcoFlow is reduced until which time they are fully charged. Once they are at full capacity the EcoFlow then goes to max power charging. As I said, I am still testing it and haven't had the chance to test it fully as yet as the van as been in the garage, being serviced etc. May need to also clarify this with EcoFlow directly. Hope that helps.

Just to add, I have emailed EcoFlow for confirmation.

@@pixx.adventures I think that would be the case. Ours is a smart alternator too. I also have the Delta 2 with a couple of flexible Ecoflow panels and when off grid I have the van plugged into the delta 2. Not overly efficient but it charges the van nicely without us having a drain on the leisure battery which is then fine for dull days. Need to find a way to go more direct to the leisure battery. Will also buy the spare Ecoflow battery too.

@@pixx.adventures great. I think it’s worth knowing. If you do this mod though you just need to accept the alternator will have a shorter life.

@@vanlovefest thank you. You know you need one 😉

Grazie mille...... very kind words

@@pixx.adventures thank you!!

Thank you. Triomount do have a 12v option on their website, but I chose not to have it as using the EcoFlow is great for us, also having the EcoFlow alternator charger. I will show you the set up when I see you at VanLove Fest.

The Starlink Mini runs off 12v, manufacturers are already making USB-C to bayonet cables, and it's all in one, router is built-in into the antenna.

The magnets are pretty strong and the unit didn’t move at all but I guess it depends on where you mount it. Ours tucks in nicely behind the skylight and pop top so probably has less wind impact. Reviews are positive on their website with regard to speeds and tests but think I will look to secure somehow as a precaution.

@@pixx.adventuresdo the magnets line up with the same ‘ridges’ on the roof of the van? Looks like from the video at end, and it looks flat, so I assume so, but would like to make sure.

@@iangarethreeves no, I have offset it to match the ridges, but doesn't affect the performance in anyway.

Ah thank you. We had a great trip - back home now unfortunately.

Thanks Simon. Good to meet you too. Looking forward to watching your next video.
