    IFTTT - Van Heater - Smart Plug

    Is it a BT Router ? I have latest BT Home Router Model 3 coupled with a BT Disc for network coverage in the Building on the wireless band(s).

    IFTTT - Van Heater - Smart Plug

    They say they work on 2GHZ and not 5GHZ, I changed my router to 2GHZ only and they still did not link up. The TP-Link Smart Plug, on the other hand, worked first time. Teckin ones are going back post haste.

    Mercedes 813 - Early 80's Diesel - OM 352 Engine

    Although not a mechanic this one looks pretty solid, I don't think it was used for Horses that much and converted quite early in it's life. Looking at the Vehicle History that I have run through paid service then it looks like it was SORN for some time yet probably in the dry. Because I am not...

    Vent out to rear with ducting ? Or to the side. As it would be low heat you can just have some sort of aerated flat cover on the side to vent out to, maybe with a flap to stop water going in from the weather bit like:

    THANKS, good in Summer and Bad in Winter would be the overall statement. Though they do, obviously, let in a lot of light and as a result make the Van seem quite spacious inside.
