Are you using a Victron BMV with the set-up ? Ta

Having the batteries split in the Merc and more AH in rear to that in Front I am wondering where best to place the BMV ? The solar comes in at rear, most of the battery load will be from the rear? By missing front loads from being attached to the BMV then how skewed will the readings be I wonder...

Yep will do that and also I bought some of this on EBAY https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-D-Type-Car-Door-Seal-Strip-Boot-Bonnet-Rubber-Edge-Trim-Roll-12X14mm/223608937318 Seems cheap enough but is it best to stick it to where the black rubber marks are from the seal that is sat on the frame...

Would be interested when you get round to it, thanks

Yep quite possibly in that top left corner, thanks

I have a few issues with the doors on the old Merc Sprinter 311Cdi 2000 Year So the Rear door is not meeting properly at the top, have only noticed this recently maybe because parked in a different place to normal. See picture below. The hinge bearings need replacing, mainly because Mercedes...

Might previously have never hit reserve price and you have a valid point Dave.

Just curious really as found somewhere to get alright 18650 cells for about 40p each Would be interested in doing a build like that

The JB Weld range is outstanding in my opinion and this Plastic Putty is really good. Anyone else used it ?

True, though usually with most military vehicles they are well looked after and serviced.

Doesn't seem to be going up much at all as far as I can tell, they did cheekily put the reserve back on it though !!

If I ever Win the Lottery I might investigate that further !!

Bloody lovely !! Very well done :)

As everyone who works on older vehicles knows, there's always more to do. With a lot of help from my son Lachlann and his 3D Printing skills as mentioned here, the Dash in the Merc is pretty finished. The rocker switches are for accessories and wired to their own fuses on a separate vehicle...

Hey @StreetSleeper That looks like a pro job. Why do you have a Gas canister in the Cabinet ? Could you not have the LPG for engine in the under-slung tank doing domestic LPG as well ? That's what I did on Sylvia to get more space. Can you tell me where you got the petrol tank from please ...

Ah yes, me getting confused. That fuse is powering something switchable and does not light when off and no fuse in board. The other fuses are powering always on devices so LEDs will light when fuses removed.

YES - Son kindly fitted that as he has more patience and more experience with stereo units having done a few in his cars LOL The Reversing Camera we could not get to work at front of vehicle due to previous bad wiring so going to isolate that on rocker switch to do a security camera as well...

Ah right, that's useful - not started the vehicle to see if Relay does anything High Amp - water pump Fridge - Though looks like 12V supply to fridge is now disconnected from that Unit, as was troubleshooting that with you, and almost sorted it out now. There is a Carver Cascade Water Heater...

YES I echo that, 240V for 12V purposes is not a good idea. Would be interested in the 240V and what specifically you use it for? Have installed all the cable you sent me (THANKS) and now have front batteries and rear batteries connected, all charging for the Split Charge circuit and all inc...

So the Old Merc as I previously mentioned has some Spag Bol wiring going on, whilst a desire to completely strip out and start again is quite strong, costs, tools and location (on a slope) make doing any major work like this prohibitive. Nonetheless, and with the help of members here notably...
