Can you turn up the temperature of the heated water David? If so it may ease your situation as you would use less hot/more cold in the mix, would depend how close you are to getting your two showers now though.

If refusal had anything to do with type approval then all conversions should be subject to an IVA or whatever it is called now. I don’t think type approval has anything to do with it does it? I thought they were allowing a lot more through classsed as motorcaravans now since the Watchdog program...

I may have said wrong thing, the tube I am thinking of is a halogen one, is that classed as flourescent? In any event there is only a couple of watts difference between the halogen tube and the led replacement. After I discovered this I didn’t bother doing the one over the bed

Fluorescent tubes are hardly any different to led for power consumption, at least the size you usually get in motorhomes aren’t (12v ones)

From posts I have seen about this it seems more likely you get motorhome if you use caravan style windows rather than bonded glass.

Your Bobil should be a similar setup to mine with the mixer valve 1 cup. Have you tried increasing tank temperature so it will add more cold water when you draw off? Bobil probably have info on it, I think my little bit of knowledge came from SureCal as it’s their gear I have fitted. Think it...

Not sure how successful you will be doing this in a van but I guess if depends how hot you want the water and for how long. I run a 22ltr calorifier and while it can be piping hot when I park up it does not hold heat for long. Calorifier tank does have the factory insulation where cold water...

You can be sure that any type of power will have money trying to control it as usual. Only chance of this not happen I g is if they find a way to produce energy that anyone could do and release it over the internet to enough sources before it’s taken down

More betterer

I keep toying with an instant gas water heater but I have a full height external locker that vents outside and is sealed from the habitation area. Makes it a lot simpler for me if I do it plus I could get away without room sealed heater if I wanted.

Just realised most reading won’t know what inverter I got. The photonics universe one I was originally looking at went out of stock not long after I posted here and hasn’t come back in yet. I ended up buying a 1500W Explorer branded PSW from Alpha battery’s. Always been pleased with things I...

I have always found the Schaudt kit decent in my van although I have only hade the OEM EBL and control panel plus I added an additional Schaudt mains charger. I only moved away from Schaudt due to limitations imposed by my EBL. For anyone with an EBL that limits them I would go fir Votronic...

800W Induction hob on full chat.

That’s the plan sorted then, good job everything is so easy huh lol Next job is disconnecting calorifier, removing broken strap, wiring in immersion, refitting new strap and saddle then connecting everything back up. Think it may be more than today lol

This is on a separate leaflet in the box David, the one regarding RCD that is. Not had a second switch like that before, just ignore or RCD off if going direct to device and on if going to ehu? Initially I am direct to device anyway so it should be off

I am changing from the suicide lead now, it serves it purpose. Here is the full leaflet David

I know there was a discussion on one of the forums about this but don’t see it here. I am just swapping inverters and there are a couple of things in the manual have me unsure which way to go. Grounding: I don’t use the earth ground on the case of my inverter as never really been happy that it...

It has coolant pipes from the engine running through it so only have hot water when travelling. Would defeat the purpose to leave it empty. Unless you mean short term until sorted?

If it’s like the straps on underslung tanks I would be doubtful of remaining life after removal. The fork truck tanks I have seen are probably better condition though but are much bigger diameter to mine at approx 430mm. Now I know I can get an OEM one I will order one and do a few jobs at the...

Got a reply from SureJust, they are still trading just no website at present. They can supply a new strap/saddle for around £24 including p&p 👍
