VANISHING POINT POWER SYSTEM
Vanishing Point is our 12.5 mtr ex tourist coach, refurbished over 4 years to an extremely comfortable motorhome.
The power system consists of a 24 volt Rich Electric Supercombi with it’s associated satellites,it consists of :
2 x Supercombi inverter/charger/ control centres 3000/6000 watts each
3 x 60 amp Sunstar solar regulators
3000 watts of solar from 15 x 200 watt 24 volt panels
1 x DC switch for alternator charging (270 amps @ 24 volts)
1 x DC switch for load control for eutectic fridge/freezer.
Data cabling to connect all the above
4 x Cellog 8 Junsi for cell monitoring and control (2 x 12v, 2 x 24 v)
2 x homebuilt control centre linking Junsis and batteries
1 x 800 Ah @ 24 v Sinopoly LifePo4 house battery bank (100 Ah cells x 64)
1 x 200 Ah @ 12v Winston LifePo4 accessories battery bank (100 Ah cells x 8)
Almost all electrical, still use LPG for the BBQ but have recently added an electric oven, no problem with Lithium power.
We have a home built eutectic fridge/freezer in one of the bins, a 120 ltr bar fridge in the kitchen and another in the bin nearest the BBQ, which plugs into the front bumper bar. Induction cooktops in the kitchen, jug, toaster.
All lighting is LED 24 V, 30 separate lights inside and lightbars under each of the 7 retractable electric awnings as well.
Hot water can be heated by a 240 V element, direct low voltage from the solar panels or via engine coolant when travelling. 50 ltr storage
We have always wanted the ability to run one of the 2 domestic split systems overnight if needed, with the 24 V house bank we do have that ability

Us
I, William, have done many things, mechanic, fisherman, shooting people, chef, builder, machine innovator, control systems, and farmer.
My wife, May, had a career in the toy industry for many years until we had a couple of brilliant kids, and of course she has done all the admin for the farming business for many years.
We started a very successful hydroponic farm supplying Woolies 28 years ago which we have recently sold for a bundle of cash. There is extensive training to be done which will take many months then we should be able to full time for a few years.
In the meantime we will grab any opportunity to get away for even a few days.
