I haven’t posted for a while so thought I’d add a photo of the new batteries mounted and secured with straps in the new battery box, under the fridge. I’ve also mounted the new Victron SmartSolar 30A MPPT controller. This is temporarily connected to the original leisure battery for now.

Next step is to add the new wiring to the two new batteries and remove the original leisure battery from under the bed.

Some other news, the original leisure battery and solar panel controller will be installed in our new project – a Volkswagen Caddy Maxi. We will be converting this with our son for touring France together in July 2022. You can follow this here if you are interested. Wish us luck!
