    Distribution Board

    Thanks for guidance Dave. So with just a Pi I should be able to see what this lot is upto? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Port-USB-HUB-3-0-2-0-High-Speed-Multi-Splitter-Expansion-For-PC-Laptop-Desktop/353201301326?hash=item523c70274e:g:XX8AAOSwz~ZfXTz5...

    Distribution Board

    For £8k software it's not easy to put text in a box!

    Distribution Board

    First mock-up of Betty's Distribution Board. So what have I forgotten?

    Split Chargers - B2B & Relays: Which one - or Both?

    Forgot about this little devil, it could be the answer to holding up the starter batteries when the multiplus is turned off.

    Not a Self-build, but a Tweaker

    I'm 24 volt and with the Betty build I'm doubling up on Murky's capacity. So 4 would get less of a hammering by the multiplus.

    Not a Self-build, but a Tweaker

    Still trying to get my head around spending £2596 on a hand full of everready's :(

    Jerry can holder

    With the older jerry cans they tend to shed red lead paint, so your funnel needs a good filter. We treat our cans badly, and have found the military ones tougher. I wonder if the stainless jerry cans are made any better?

    Jerry can holder

    Just watch out as some of the modern Jerry Cans are so thin they split with the weight of the contents!

    Violating a Princess!

    Thanks Steve, It was a temptation, but then I remembered that the RSPCA gets upset if you squash Ducts ;)

    Violating a Princess!

    The heating whilst driving is provided by the engine coolant. It's then blown around the coach. Stationary a D4 eberspacher is used for heating the air. I also have a 12kva water eberspacher, so for extra heat if needed I can use the air and water heating together. A simpler version is used...

    Violating a Princess!

    There’s a lot of hypo with this air heating, I’ve done this caust I couldn’t think of anything else. ;)

    Violating a Princess!

    Had some more bits turn up today, so I'm able to plan how I'm going to fit the air ducting in Betty's bum! First problem there is structure in the way :( Oh well I'll just have to cut it out. This is going to give me a rather unstable shelf at the end of the floor. The end of the floor...

    Vent Windows

    Yes protecting the cut steel is very important, and you don't always know how far the fractures go in the paint. With my windows man he is happy to share his experience and consider my silly ideas. One thing he has introduced me to is the window primer. If you get the right stuff it bonds to...

    Do I temper my spend or not?

    I think if I looked at a van filled with "Trevor Specials" I'd assume it had been built on a tight budget and would have hidden horrors waiting to haunt me. (sorry Trev ;) ) When I read of people stripping out goodies to sell a van, I just think, standard van damaged filled with stuff to take...

    Violating a Princess!

    I think we have all been there. We know what we should do, but convincing ourselves that there are easier options. 90% of the trim looked very good, fooling me into thinking about trying to save it. From day 1 it wanted gutting. Tears will dry up, and the later smiles will wipe away the...

    Do I temper my spend or not?

    Once you get into the bigger multiplus's the options grow. Also the quiescent current is higher with the bigger units. And there was me thinking about a 1200 or 1600 and do I really need anything that big? One that has struck me, they mention maximum efficiency. But what about minimum...

    Water tank, anyone used this company?

    I have around 300l of drinking water in a food grade stainless tank. The remaining water is dumped before any trip and replaced with fresh. Once a year the tank is sterilized. Along with the plumbing.

    Damn, so sorry honey

    Laminate into your repair aramid woven tape in any areas that will be stressed or bolted through. https://www.ecfibreglasssupplies.co.uk/product/aramid-tape-170g-sq-mtr-100mm-wide

    Water tank, anyone used this company?

    I would think of that as a jerry can and a half on it's side. So no baffles. I'd preferer a drinking water tank to be made in food grade white or natural nylon. You'd just need to keep it in the dark.

    Converting 12/24 volt Fluorescent Lamps

    There are many ways to skin a cat Trevor, but then what does the pelt look like at the end. Also will it have a short life if not properly preserved. I love being able to afford to fit and forget.
