Wait for someone else but what source are you using to try and charge your battery bank? Engine via the CTek, solar via the MPPT, mains via the MultiPlus? Again wait for someone else but I don’t think you need the MPPT with having the Multiplus but I can frequently be wrong :) How many watts of...

It still amazes me how good wet wipes are at cleaning the dash area :)

Regarding tilting panels I think it’s now a lot easier to get the info for fitting electric actuators and even remote control. I just know I would be seized up before I got half way through doing it though hence my purchase of a folding panel when I went to increase my panels. If you can do it...

Well no if you want to make it hard work 😂😂😂😂 I wouldn’t recommend bolting 4 x 345w panels together and lifting those either but for single motorhome panels weight rarely comes into it that much. Haven’t checked my specs but from memory I think my 150W panels were around 7kgs each. As my memory...

Was it the postage costing more than the parts that caused this? Happens a lot with small easy pack stuff

It’s not the weight of panels that causes problems but make sure you don’t pick a windy day 👍

When I was fitting my solar o contacted Syka tech people and they were extremely helpful. Ask them and you can’t go wrong 👍

Still a lot of wasted energy with that though, the bobil added to a diesel heater may be something I add later but not straight forward with me using a calorifier

How strange they took that backward step. My RD’s and all my XS’s all had self cancelling. It cancelled either by turning the bars or after so many seconds. May have been distance not seconds but I am fairly sure it was time linked

Are they not all self cancelling indicators on bikes these days? Seem to remember Yamaha changing to them during the 70’s and I am sure my last BMW also had self cancelling

I was wanting it more for being able to see what’s happening outside without having to open any blinds/let anyone know I am inside.

I will keep an eye on this as it’s something I keep thinking about. I think Nesting Zombie posted what he had butted in The Nest a year or so back but technology and prices will have changed a lot no doubt since then

I don’t know if it’s luck of the draw or in some cases bodged fitting but there does seem to be a lot more problems with the Chinese diesel heaters. I know quite a few folks in self build vans who have gone right off them now and fitted burners instead. Hope your one stays trouble free 👍

Saw you on the Drove as you pulled off a couple of weeks ago. Think you came with Ryan and Nelli after the big picnic meet 👍

It’s probably because of the venting/combustion air needed. While with back doors open there wouldn’t be a problem if someone who didn’t know bought it there could be fatalities. Same reason a lot of these type of heaters vanished from homes

PWM controllers are preferred for large solar farms so not just small scale stuff. On motorhomes in U.K. mppt will usually be the best option

In winter type of gas appliances fitted can make a massive difference on how frequently you need to fill up with gas/swap bottles. I can sit for weeks running my diesel Eberspacher when I have seen Charlie going for gas every few days. Location/availability of gas becomes a big factor then also...

Not sure if I missed it but what was the idea behind lifting the floor level so much across the entire van? If you are keeping the van as max weight 3.500t can you utilise that much storage? Wall cupboards in mine are much easier to access and find things than under bed and under seat storage...

Incinerator toilet is the way forwards but prohibitively priced unless you are Wully 😂😂😂

While you can legally carry passengers in the rear on side facing seats without belts as stated in this document the police can make a case that you are carrying an unsecured load. I posted info on side facing seats a couple of years ago that covered this, the exception (as stated in this...
