Is anyone using a Wind Turbine to help gather energy for electrical systems ?

Anyone have any experience with these ? Are they any good ?

Looks good, one for conversion, would be a great project IMO https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2006-DAF-FA-LF45-150-AUTO-MOBILE-LIBRARY-MOBILE-OFFICE-EXHIBITION-UNIT-/264517103891

This is a standard motorhome. Just wondering what people think of the price it is at now and if anyone has any experience of these Models of Elddis Autoquest 2012 or similar type vehicle, whether good / bad / indifferent and what would be a good price for this, e.g anything up to £30K or £35K...

2020 Plate Motorhomes are set to see as apparently by a ruling in the European Parliament, the VED for a new motorhome will increase from £265 (PLG rate) to £2,135 – a 705% increase – plus there will be significant higher ongoing yearly tax costs (for a further five years). There is a petition...

So as many of you who know me already know, I have Sylvia an old Talbot Sylvia is good for staying out and has some downsides, notably Speed and Cost of fuel etc So today I looked at a New Second Hand Van as a replacement for Sylvia Pictures of possible Van are here...

I wonder if this could be integrated into a build somehow: ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Prius-Plus-Battery-G9280-47190-1-8-vvti-Hybrid-2012-prius-plus-hybird/323542777381

Hi there If anyone is using Victron VRM and wants to share their data with me then please feel free to invite me and I will in turn invite you to view my data PM is best way of transmitting the required email address Cheers Robert

So by my reckoning P=IV where the Victron MPPT = 30A (Bluesolar 100/30) and the Van System is 12V with the current solar panel having a Max Output of 285W P = 30 x 12 so P = 360W To my mind then the MAX Solar Power Input to the Victron 100/30 would be a 360W yield on Solar at the very optimum...

So I went to the Motorhome show at NEC yesterday and it was very well attended. I was surprised though by the amount of manufacturers that use Fiat as the base vehicle. This was overwhelmingly the majority in the under 3500KG range. Less so in over the weight category though. Why are Fiat so...

I now have a RPI attached in the Van to the Victron charge controller. It is also registered on Victron Portal and is displaying some Data on my account. Is there any way that the other Victron devices in the Van can be integrated into the portal as the only devices showing are the rpi and the...

Just curious as to what the folk that spend a lot, or all the time in their Van(s) have as battery set-up and if any like me and @Geeky Philip have paid work in the ICT / Web fields that require possible higher usage with laptops and mobiles and other tech kit ? Thanks in Advance

Got some tickets (TWO) going spare if anyone wants them ?? Get in touch

Dear All If there are any motor mechanics about I have a question. Sylvia, old Talbot, 2 litre Petrol engine with Carburettor had an LPG conversion beginning of August. Engine runs sweet on LPG. If I swap to petrol though the engine runs poorly, less torque and feeling like the air/fuel mix is...

Was doing a bit of research on the possibility of future self-builds and seeing what was out there in a semi-finished state and came across this. Looks really nice and done to a high standard, as the listing says it needs a bit more work doing but the majority of things have been completed very...

I will be there if anyone else will be then drop me a line if you like ? Respond to this ? Thanks

Have some free days in the week if anyone fancies meeting up around Aviemore / Inverness / Forres ? OR can anyone recommend beauty spot to Wild Camp for a few nights in the area ? TIA Robert

Whilst wandering around EBay I found this, kind of apt. Might get one for Sylvia

I am thinking of getting an additional Leisure Battery, however there are a few factors influencing my decision: Budget Space (dimensions available to place battery) Technologies So at the moment I have a very good 160AH LEOCH AGM, this one Additionally there is a not so good generic 70AH...
