    Ducato, Boxer, Relay. Diesel heater under drivers seat

    Personally I wouldn't want something hot, noisy and smelly in with me. Before you type, just don't go there! ;)

    LPG/butane gas hob

    All the pots, pan and other rattly stuff has a sheet of paper towel between. No we don't wrap each knife, fork and spoon! ;)

    Mixing Solar panels

    Because of any potential worries, I put a Mppt on each strings of panels. I even have a spare Mppt for future portable panels. Violating a Princess! | Page 10 | Motorhome Builder

    LPG/butane gas hob

    We lay a towel over the top of the cooker and that stops the rattles, from the cooker, not Anita ;)

    Could be interesting for those worried about diesel heater noise.

    Many vehicles have an auxiliary fuel fitting. Might be worth checking before putting a hole in your tank.

    Genuine Vs Copy, Diesel Heaters

    I'm at that age where I find it hard to tolerate things not working as they should. The one thing that really frustrates me is my body and mind failing!

    Turbo-charging Motorhome Electrics

    One thing that I did think was misleading was that due to pulley sizes the alternator generally runs at twice the speed of a low revving Diesel engine. Mind you Anita generally doesn’t get above 2000 rpm in her van. I also suspect that most alternators are better than 50% efficient. If it’s true...

    As I would have suspected, but I won't mention processed animals ;)

    Drive away awning for a LWB H2 Renault Master

    This is on my mind. If I want any kind of dog house or porch over the entrance door, now is the time to do it whilst the inside of the roof is exposed.

    Bloody mice!

    They just love eating and nesting in air filters, the sweet little things ;)

    Genuine Vs Copy, Diesel Heaters

    Some of my machine tools are an American brand made in china. They are supposed to be inspected in the US or Germany. I think it would help if they employed sighted people!

    Yes, I should have stuck to one trim line.

    Violating a Princess!

    Anita got into repair mode and cleaned the rust scale and bad repairs from the front bumper. Steel treated and new glass fibre reinforcement.

    Violating a Princess!

    After spending a long time repairing holes, I decided to make some more. Yes I know that they are not vertical to each other, but I decided not to cut any structure out of the walls. One thing I did notice was that stainless steel screws don’t like biting into stainless steel sheet. Galvanised...

    Solar panel

    What controller do you have? I'm all in favour of as few holes in the roof as possible.

    Violating a Princess!

    Any way moving on from laying pigeon poo, the kitchen cabinet is back in Betty. Anita made a test drawer to prove the fit. Not so good, my countersunk screws hit the rollers. Try a slimmer drawer and see if that cures it. Once we have them slipping in and out pain free, we’ll brave making a...

    Violating a Princess!

    To learn to stick weld it’s better to start with at least 6mm plate. A hobby welder would not be easy as the current will collapse as soon as you try to start an arc. It’s best to learn to gas weld first as it’s slow enough to see what’s going on. There lies the next problem, you need good...

    Violating a Princess!

    I've just done the balancing act! 18.9kg at the moment Dave, no idea what the weight would be in wood. All the drawers and worktop will add a bit.
