My motorhome is built on a T1n Sprinter 316 chassis and n Winter my starter battery will go flat in 3 weeks, sooner if very cold. I solved this when I fitted a Votronic Duo solar controller that sends a 1 amp trickle charge to the starter battery when solar harvesting. It can be done other ways...

Doesn’t look anything like their 100AMPS and 150A options 😂😂😂

You need new trainers 😂😂👍

You could if you wanted, could also fit some sort of thermostatic bypass but no need

You are correct about the calorifier, it gets as hot as the engine coolant, no off

I had nothing to do with my water/heating installation, it was done before I bought the van and carried out by a company specialising on water, air, hydraulic systems. Unlike a lot of vans it has a calorifier heated by the engine. The system has both an expansion tank and an accumulator. Mine is...

Looks great to me, I know I couldn’t manage anything looking like that :) only thing I notice is the board under the double bed mattress. Keep an eye out for damp patches and/or mould, can be a problem when a board is used. It’s all to do with air flow and others here will advise better than...

Mine that was built as a motorhome, (not a conversion) is PHGV. Thought that was standard over 3.5t?

Courier is probably a good business to be at the moment as there is a shortage of containers as well. Saying that the courier has to become the tax collector so maybe not as good in practice lol Can you do it differently having the import/export license or do you now have to be the tac collector...

The problem at the moment buying direct is the carrier holds it up when it enters the U.K. until import duty, vat, taxes etc are sorted out. Earlier this year it was hard to get some Victron parts for a while, they were in the U.K. but was knocking on two months before they got released. The lpg...

I didn’t get mine from there but have had a similar one for years, it’s in the car at present but that has a 1amp and a 2.1 amp USB port so you get all sorts

I seem to remember when I spoke to them they mentioned stayin at or above 2.5 bar. I don’t know if other things related to vehicle make/weight may cause variations. Mine must be nearly 14 years in situ now so it worked okay for my setup 👍

I spoke with them at AS year before last to check what I should be set at and the woman checked on my reg number and said they had been fitted 12 years. They were very nice and sent me the instructions I posted earlier, maybe not as many doing them back then I don’t know. It does show you should...

Yours must be different bags to mine Dave, I know it’s a different company but didn’t know if it was just rebadged. Heres instructions for mine if anyone has AS rears

Was yours a library bus in previous life Trev?

Car modding club I used to be in had workshop meets where someone who was good at something went round helping others do stuff. I have already earmarked a lot of you 😂😂😂😂

Lower sun late and early in the year would make the shadow effect worse and more likely, it’s why I went parallel and always would on the van. Exception being small panels where I would go serial and parallel, it’s worth the extra wire in my opinion.

If you haven’t yet done it Dave check with the supplier, I think AS said don’t travel less than 2.5 bar or you risk damage to the bags. May have been under that a little, I didn’t note it down

No no no, debate is always good and it was a question Dave asked. It’s good to chill 👍

You have always been able to get them, I used them long before I ever got any of the later type. Just need a 12v cigar lighter socket to put them in 👍 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183968590792?hash=item2ad561ebc8:g:J~gAAOSweVtdiijx&var=691659285524
