We use a lot of high strength magnets, but will be using a physical catch on my drawers ;)

It's a shame as the box of tricks must have most of what it needs in it. I believe there is a strong connection with Fronius. I've been using their welding kit for the past 20 years and they are masters of power manipulation. Stupidly expensive though.

Here we go as I prepare myself for being crucified! Someone is lying! Either the chap in the video or the person responsible for the specs. He says that the inverter gets it's reference timing from the incoming supply. Spec sheet says supply can be horrible but the output will be clean. It's...

Just a thought Dave. You have power coming in on your hookup. Live and Neutral have been reversed. This is feeding your Multiplus and all your domestic sockets are powered from the multiplus. I guess being an inverter the multiplus isn't that fussy about what it's being fed? Would the...

Have a read of Victron Wiring Unlimited page 56 to page 65 it shows quite clearly why some installations don't require grounding and some become dangerous if inadvertently grounded. Like plugging into domestic mains. It's nice to know your safe and others too.

There have been many occasions where we have provided hospitality in adverse conditions. So it has to be easy to clean and quick to dry. Gorillas with big coats and covered in mud can be clumsy. Then you have the fools who have travelled a thousand miles expecting some kind of catering on site...

I have read a few over the years, though my interests are more to the rugged side of this pastime. I have often wished I’d thought of something, then only to think what the hell are they doing. Enjoy the read, but if an idea grabs your fancy. Research it yourself.

The only thing you are doing with an earth spike is holding ground at zero volts. Even if ground floats above zero volts the RCD can still work as the voltages and currents float too. Just don’t pass a data cable though the window to another computer or you could blow the comms ports. ;) I...

It’s just a motor home that can take a beating and allow us to live independent for over a week.

Victron seem to like two RCD's I wonder if that is double Dutch?

I'm still convinced I've discovered a horror with the 3 phase motor RCD protection. I must pluck up enough courage to spend a week or more reading Anita's books.

It's interesting to read others views as it's often possible to mislead oneself. (I've always done it this way it must be right) Hunting for any serious information did not prove easy, then I remembered (Victron Wiring Unlimited) Look on the right hand side of the home page for this site...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't consumer units have RCD's as the initial protection?

1. Should you or should you not ground your electrical hook up to your vehicles body? 2. Should you ground your Inverter (Inverters) to your vehicle body. 3. If you have grounded any mains devices to the vehicle body should you use an earth spike to ensure that ground is 0 volts? 4. Do RCD's...

Unfortunately they crop up in my work from time to time. Getting the syntax right for the particular software is a pain. I shout for help when ever possible.

Colourful fellow. I'd like to see some locks on the draws and doors. Some of the dirt roads we've driven would open them.

This is going to be a problem with Betty. Anita wants a co-pilot seat. Finding a small swivel seat to fit in the entrance is going to be a pain.

It’s been a bit of an odd week. First two windows removed, so then the panic to get the repairs done. The rear window is being replaced by an aluminium panel. This has been painted outside, etch primer, primer and black. Each coat containing some kind of insect :( . Extra steelwork added for...

I’m just young enough to have missed out on them. But not rich enough to have a calculator.
