So hoping all you folk on motorhomer / motorhomebuilder & wildcamping stay safe and well and covid-19 free in these difficult times. For me it looks like my HGV Practicals may get put on hold, my retail work may stop and other income streams may dwindle but hey ho, I have been through some...

I got myself one of these from EBAY to have a play about with, I am thinking of putting on dash in the Van and perhaps getting more than one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50W-12V-Semi-flexible-Solar-Panels-Kit-Battery-Home-Camp-10A-Charge-Controller/402138766797 I was pleasantly surprised by the...

Any recommendations on Budget generators, ideally efficient, greater than 1KW output and quiet. ?

So I have been researching those flexible panels that are around 3mm thick and have seen the Midsummer Energy ones which are pretty expensive at £285 for 120 Watt, but look very good. https://midsummerenergy.co.uk/buy/flexible-solar-panels/miasole-120W-CIGS-flexible-solar-panel I have found...

In case anyone has any, 2000 Year Sprinter - external ideally, but internal considered. THANKS

As per my blew up the inverter thread, the Edecoa is for sale on EBAY to raise funds for a new inverter, Victron MultiPlus, if I can get the money together !! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193373452343

Was doing some faffing and trying to get a bit more data on this post connected up the Edecoa and wired it wrong way round. BANG FEEL SO F'ING STUPID !!! Anyone know if it is serviceable ?

I bought this a while back on Banggood, as the Alpha AGM Battery is not in a Van at present I thought I would connect it up. I think it could be relatively accurate but to test fully I would have to charge the AGM to full then have a 1 amp draw or more to watch the battery capacity lessen over...

But at least the nozzle came out very clean - The product had dried down to the Top of the tube outlet, fortunately there wasn't much left in the tube and I could do the Task I needed to do !!

I have done a little bit of research and I am coming to the conclusion that if the battery charge parameters in technical details are pretty similar than mixing battery types should not be too much of an issue. I understand that best practice would be to have an array of the same battery types...

Interestingly when I was at the Motorhome show yesterday I came across a Couple of providers of Air ride systems One of them has quoted me already for a system to use on the rear of the new Merc coming in at just shy of £1,000 glide-rite.com So just wondering if anyone is using any air or...

So new Merc is wired direct from Vehicle battery to leisure side on +ve with NO VSR or anything else in the way (AAGGGH!!) Is it best to get one of these: www.onboardenergydirect.co.uk/shop/Victron-Cyrix-12-24V-230A-Intelligent-Battery-Combiner-CYRIX_12_24V_230.html#SID=200 OR could I use one...

New Merc Van (name to be decided) has a reversing camera which the previous owner said was a drain to the battery and flattened engine battery after approx 1 week. I have tried to figure out what is what and am now very confused so Camera itself & monitor is definitely drawing power when engine...

I am heading there this Wednesday (19th) with some friends who are thinking of buying a newer camper ? ccmshow.co.uk

Thanks to @wildebus for the supply of this controller which looks to be working well so far. With hindsight I should have done some before and after pics. The Victron kit is now removed from Sylvia as is the 110AH Leisure battery.

I personally think some of the folk on here could do a better and more interesting timelapse video than this so called professional one: What do you think ?

I have a couple of Solar panel questions @wildebus and others ? New van has a small Solar panel on her and a rather rubbish looking charge controller, with a Lamp plugged into the Streetlight port and for what purpose I have no idea. Pictures to follow. with little knowledge of the Solar Panel...

Talbot up for sale and pictures here New Old Merc Purchased 2000 Year, 311CDi, kind of smaller space wise inside but a lot nicer and easier to drive than the Talbot Also surprisingly has 3 leisure batteries, all matched Bosch. 3 x 90AH - need to work out the wiring Carver Cascade that I need to...

Is anyone using any Camera's inside their Van(s) for security I am using one by Genbolt (Chinese Amazon) Cheap, but you get's what you pay for ! Image quality not fabulous and for quick security snaps there is often a delay in getting the image captured by trigger mechanism Some examples of...
