    Carver Cascade gas water heater - anyone fitted one themselves?

    Ok thank you for the advice. I've picked up one with the polystyrene jacket intact but I'll see if I can put some additional wrap around it. I bought a gas-only version as I would rarely be on hook-up (and it was cheaper).

    Carver Cascade gas water heater - anyone fitted one themselves?

    I reckon I'll give one a try. If nothing else, it would be a unique youtube video it seems!

    Carver Cascade gas water heater - anyone fitted one themselves?

    Has anyone bought one of these and fitted it? It seems a fairly simple design and there's plenty of them for sale used or refurbished. I can't seem to find any youtube videos covering fitment although I did get hold of the install/operation manual. Is there something I'm missing or are they a...

    Victron SmartSolar - Should I change the battery preset?

    The last time I spoke to Battery Megastore was just after I bought these. I queried their warranty policy as they said it was void if I discharged them below a certain voltage, which was at odds with the sticker on the battery and the fact they are supposed to be "deep cycle". I suspect they...

    It says for non-pressurised taps. Does that mean gravity feed only or something, rather than our pumped systems?

    Victron SmartSolar - Should I change the battery preset?

    Hankook replied eventually. Friendly but no help!

    It was the colour that baffled them. It took 3 goes to get my bike changed from red to blue.

    What are the correct funds? I don't remember paying for the change to motorcaravan.

    Night time buzzing

    The 12v compressor fridge I use is very quiet but the fuel pump for the heater sounds like someone in the distance tapping a hammer on stone. Maybe put the heads at the other end of the bed and buy some earplugs for the wife?

    One door closes......

    Nice job. I did a similar thing with my side door because it didn't lock from the inside. I made a wooden frame to fill the gap left by the seals but drilled the hinge screws through into the original metal frame. My door was damn heavy too!

    Victron SmartSolar - Should I change the battery preset?

    Yeah disabled by default. I didn't know what it was but it looked bad :) Here's a screen shot of the settings it defaulted to.

    DVLA requirements for change to motor caravan

    Luckily I don't need to argue the case. I got mine changed on the log book a few months back, before I had any decals or awning. In my opinion it is ambiguous because it can be taken to mean different things. There should be no room for interpretation so we all know what they mean.

    Victron SmartSolar - Should I change the battery preset?

    Hankook are damn difficult to find technical specs for! Can I assume it's not going to fry my battery for now?

    DVLA requirements for change to motor caravan

    On one side means both on one side. On at least one side could mean one on each side. It's ambiguous. Not how you write regulations.

    Victron SmartSolar - Should I change the battery preset?

    I've just installed the MPPT 100/20 this morning and noticed that the app has a battery preset in the settings. The factory default is "Gel Victron deep discharge(2)" Should I change this? None of the other presets sound right so should I hunt down the correct settings for my battery and...

    MPPT vs PWM - The Solar Controller Test!

    I did put 4 bolts through my roof. I used more sealant than probably necessary under and around the whole lot. They haven't moved anywhere.

    DVLA requirements for change to motor caravan

    One window each side would technically be "2 windows on 2 sides". Maybe if they said "At least two windows on one side of the main body". (if that's what they mean) The "reasonable amount of daylight" is a throwaway comment. Are we supposed to use a light-meter to quantify it? Would I have to...
