    Yes Cerbo, I meant. It’s a good job you know what I’m on about. It’s been a draining day.

    Victron Energy + Raspberry pi Physical installation of components, How to achieve it ???

    Just a start, but these are the tank sensors I’m planning on using. These I hope should talk to the victron cerbo. I’m also planning on monitoring with a raspberry pie...

    Violating a Princess!

    DC - DC converter now mounted to the distribution board, as usual just a lash up for testing. Finally having 12 volts I'm able to start testing some installations. I went for the easy ones first and have now tested both Maxfans, relieved that they are wired correctly. Phew! Still to test the...

    Violating a Princess!

    I was supposed to be working this weekend as the weather was going to be too wet for bricklaying. The machining job I was given had an hours cycle time that allowed me to escape and touch up Betty a little. I cleaned and painted the left hand footwell to allow me to insulate it. This is an...

    Interesting Build Series on YouTube

    expedition vehicle aluminum windows

    Gas Combi Boilers, who's got one...???

    It would worry me having combustion inside the vehicle. I don’t expect you’ll have it on for long so shouldn’t be any trouble.

    Violating a Princess!

    Half a day spent installing the eberspacher M12 fuel pump, how could it have taken so long! I was lazy and used an existing hole in the chassis to mount the pump. Routing the plumbing was the pain. Trying to find a direct, but safe route for the fuel pipe and pump wiring. Now having a fuel...

    The eberspachers go into an extra high setting when they start up, then drop back depending on how they have been set and temperature.

    DVSA checks

    I lost a morning finding the few snippets I posted. The things most people don't realise and wouldn't even accept if shown are these. 1. Taxation class is just that. It has no relevance to what the vehicle is being used for except in specific cases. A PHGV Motorhome is a M class passenger...
