    Violating a Princess!

    I still keep looking at it. If someone buys Murky building will become frantic as we've booked a trip to the Netherlands.

    Almost any PU mastic will stick better than silicon.

    Replacement Light Glass - An Option

    Changing the fluorescent lights on Murky, the LED's reduced electricity consumption dramatically. The Led's were much brighter. The down side was the cost as they were industrial quality.

    Salt batteries, are tehy now the very best?

    There is talk of reducing the time patents last for as a lot of technology has been kept from the markets.

    If you keep waiting for the latest technology, you will die before you see it. Bite the bullet and enjoy now.

    Hybrid Wildebus

    We all know Wildebus has been preaching the benefits of a lead acid/lithium setup. As many secret followers of this site may have noticed progress on the Betty build has become very slow. That said it's not forgotten and it's electrics have been working well. Even using it as an outside power...

    is VED payable on old ambulances that people convert?

    If I were to purchase a new chassis cab with a gross weight of 7.5 tonne, I would insist that it was registered as a M1 with a weight exemption. A motorhome classed as a Private HGV is technically illegal despite being done by a government body.

    Communication failures by the DVLA about what a campervan is leave people confused

    One main problem is that if you retain the rear doors on a panel van it's easy to use it for a commercial load.

    Strange Victron Behavior

    No David, this is the older setup in Murky. The only thing that has changed is that it was setup for lithium. Not connected, but another annoyance is that the Daly BMS's go to sleep, and you have to put a load on the batteries to wake them up.

    Strange Victron Behavior

    I have my habitation BMV 712 display so that I can see it without entering Murky. Today it looked like it hadn't been charging. Firework damage? No, looking at the 100-30 solar charge controller there was no charge! Opening the app. It was claiming the temperature was -18 degrees. I don't have...

    Im ordering 300ah cells do you want in

    Have you ever heard of anyone using up all the charge, discharge cycles. The other thing is how detrimental is it if they have been stood for a few years?

    Im ordering 300ah cells do you want in

    Prices are not looking good at the moment. 112.00 dollars a cell. Exhange rate isn't good either. Then a 10kva multiplus or bigger!

    Violating a Princess!

    With the weather deteriorating, I'm hoping to make more progress with this soon. I have been using the electrics as a power supply though. Who needs a jackass box? The locals have started using it as a free fuel supply again, so the alarm system needs fitting too. BTW it will be a Motorhome...

    Ford Transit Mk8 Adventure Van

    All very good, but think of how many more posts we would have had if you shared your journey during your build. You never know we might have learnt something too. Mark
