This ofcourse is why the majority of posters on this tread have complained of lacking information. How you operate the taps is obviously dependent on how you open and close them. To most of us we would not even contemplate that many alternatives mainly because that many alternatives is a little...

Hmmmmm, over the last two years I've battled with spiders, I'm adverse to killing anything so have endured them as they only usually build the odd cobb Web and do catch the odd mosquito and fly, but over the past few months the common garden spider has been swapped out by these ginormous False...

Actually Pudsey I got the board sizes wrong on my previous post it should have read 1200x600x15mm and ofcourse not all of the boards were used the total would have been 112kg but there must have been atleast an 1/8th wastage which brings the total furniture board weight to 98kg, as she travels...

Na think I'll give that a miss!

On my last build I used 7 boards 8x4 or rather 2400x1250mm furniture board from Wicks it cost at least a third less than the so called lightweight furniture board from motorhome suppliers and quite honestly was very little extra weight, it is 15mm thickness so all the usual trims and corner...

Hmmmm, think we may have come to the end of this discussion. Phil 😵‍💫

Tony your plan is definitely workable, I've done many a plumbing job on motorhomes and campervans and looking at your plan it is a workable solution to how you require it to work if that's what you require. The comments I've made were meant to be helpful obviously I mis understand your post. Phil

Hi Tony, I have to agree with Pudsey and say that to me at least you have greatly over thought out your pluming system. I am not aware of the vehicle you are building but calling it a Campervan suggests its similar to a VW T 5/6, if this is the case two 100L Internal tanks would be taking up...

I've fitted a few seats now with no hassle from the authorities. They must be fitted so that they are not liable to go through the floor in the advent of collision. I.e. bolted through the floor with the bolts going through strengthener plates if fitted to just the steel floor on the front legs...

Do you not have the facility of switching the inverter off when using shore power where by you are using solely the hook up power for fridge and hob + charging the battery and reverting to inverter when wild camping. I have to say that some sites only have an 8amp hook up though the standard...

Cor! That's cheap I'll have two of them. 🤣. Phil

Darwinian theory 😁 Ps. There are many more Chinese diesel heaters in use than those of German origin yet you don't hear of the Government banning Chinese heaters because of the danger of monoxide poisoning. No unfortunately it's the installations that are at fault just as with Espacher if they...

This is as I said, the majority of problems come from installation and not the equipment. As for co2, it's always necessary to have a good monoxide alarm installed too, I have two Fire angels Carbon monoxide/ Smoke alarms, one back and one front. I never ever run my Truma 4e when asleep unless...

Most of what you mention has some truth in it Dave, but you have to pay your money and make your choice, let's face it most things that go wrong with the heaters ( Not the installation of them) is either electrical or mechanical failure and in most if not all instances do not end up catching...

My view is that the majority of dangerous cases are caused by people that have no idea about the fitting and installation of items be they 12volt/240v/Diesel or Gas, or what the consequences are of a bodged or inefficient installation. It seems to me that if the write up is correct the reason...

😄 As I said in my original post Phil, I can always use it as a sail. 😆 Phil.

Morning all, it's a typical late autumn day here at Tregegar House Caravan park, raining and not so warm so I thought I'd continue with my post on satellite fitting. Well I've finished the set up and have used it on multiple occasions since I first posted. Below are a few photos as promised...

The trouble with inverters I find is they are by nature 12v power hungry if used to power any AC product much over 3-400w and even if switched on but not supplying 240v they are taking ampage from the battery bank. I had to fit this inverter if I ever want to use Sky Q while not on shore power...

As for fuse rating I've just fitted a 85cm self seeking dish running sky Q And a Scr switch which is 20v running off 230v ac through reducer bricks so have had to finally add an inverter in the system to A) Run the Scr (Single cable operation) and B) Also run the Sky Q box. The inverter is a...
