Make sure there is no warmth in the engine before it’s started, they can have bad habits when cold.

When I fitted the 801 to Murky I lost use of the external sensor so only using the internal one. Would be interesting to see your workings Dave.

To be honest we are surprised how good it is. What's worrying is that if we had bought a newer one this was still going to happen. All our hard work would have been ruined. Remember the owners of these things just want to make a profit, bodge it and get it back on the road. Plaxton kindly...

It's only really big enough to take shopping. Those supermarket car parks can be rough places!

I'd love it, but my life is not charmed enough to allow me to play all day in a nice big heated workshop with all the other toys required to take it on :(

Back on the demolition yesterday to cut out some more rot! I find the cutting and welding the easy bit. My pet hate is removing trim and panels. Your never really sure how they were attached. One thing for sure, they were never intended to come apart again with any kind of ease. There is a...

Yes I forgot you need to exhaust the combustion gases outside. Though even on an absorption fridge the cooler you can get the radiator the better it works.

I'd have agreed to this if it is only used in the UK. On some of our European trips the fridge did struggle and spent too much time on. Fitting vents and then later a fan solved this.

And that changes when? Mark

I do recommend you use Ferrules for the cable ends on that one though. If you have not used them before, this is a typical kit - https://amzn.to/2uhxVxd I had one turn up Monday, the six jaw version...

I must admit in my old age I do like idiot lights.

I've got a usable Varta LFD90 you can have for £20.00

Dave, have you looked at the Meanwell DC DC converters. If you were only trying to maintain the engine start battery from the leisure I guess just an amp or so would be enough. This was one I was looking at to charge 24volts from 12volts. SD-25A-24 My only worry would be are they current...

I can’t see it doing more than 20.

The danger is, unless the vehicle is fully functional with no holes to show where something once was that could devalue it too. I guess your installation Dave is above and beyond normal.

Wouldn't leaving the goodies in, get you a better price? I'm still improving Murky even though it's doomed to be sold.

We have a 22 litre Surecal one. They come with all the gubbins, so may be better value than you think. When I first fitted one to Murky it was only engine coolant heated. The 1kw heating element supplied is to big. I fitted a 500 watt one and I could then use my little generator to heat it...

We are between Doncaster and Barnsley, unfortunately our trips are mostly in Europe and I'm sure all heading south. Plenty of time, these things are best not rushed. Best of luck with the test.

Murky was more of an evolution rather than a planned build. We've tried to keep everything as simple as possible and trap anything that might need future attention. Even now, if we planned on keeping it we have some new ideas.
