Why does no one make a generic DC to DC charger for motorhomers?

It can be done via dip switches on the pcb, no need for a mk2-3. And before the multiplus was on phoenix, and before the phoenix was on the Atlas. All with dip switches. On later multiplus the search mode was added, the real AES is totaly diferent to the search mode. AES runs on reduced switching, resulting in less power draw. Search mode cycles every 2s but at full switching, so sine wave is maintained.

not sure what you mean by "real AES". Far as I am concerned, they are both "real".

On the settings via VE.Config, there are two different AES modes available (and Victon would probably say they are both "real" as they are there to be used and listed under AES)

One has the inverter running on a MSW mode (in effect reducing the load); the other cuts the power and checks for a load every couple of seconds.
The latter is the more efficient, but the MSW one can actully be quite handy in some circumstances (for example, if running a 240V fridge, it could allow the interior light to still work when the inverter is officially off, albeit at a reduced brightness as it is getting around half the power).

One aspect that seems to be totally forgotten is its for a Motorhome how do you deal with ALL OTHER aspects of having it ready to be used. In my case the crockery stays put the cutterlery (knives and forks) cooking stuff (saucepans) and clothes (recycled through washing machine)all stay put not just the 4 cs but power as well if it needs a brick it stays in van be it the spare battery charger 240 for the Gtech or 48V for bikes or 19V for laptop. I'm feed up of forgetting the charger for this or that each location has its own charger even have a laptop charger at MIL (left it one weekend so had to buy a spare quick.

Forgotten? Or just no need to state the obvious?

Obvious to us maybe but then if everything was obvious we'd all be doing it your way.

Nah, everyone would be doing it their way
