    Solar install

    The primer is just as bad IMHO as its only the paints/primers bond to the fabric of the vehicle.... OK its 'unlikely' that the paint is going to let go BUT I personally wouldn't trust sticky alone (yes there will be lots of folks that have never had a problem... And as many saying that lots of...

    Cable/fuse sizing.....

    What about the ring rscdc30? Appears to handle up to 50v I'd like to keep alternator/solar charging in one unit if I can.... BUT open to persuasion.

    Cable/fuse sizing.....

    Thanks for that.... I'll have a look around (I bought the ctek at a good price so should be able to recover cost) I went the ctek route so I had one unit managing both solar and alternator input.... But not the end of the world.

    Cable/fuse sizing.....

    Ahhhhh that's a bit of a bugger.... Teach me not to thoroughly read specs I guess. Thanks for the heads up though... I never like smoke escaping out of stuff.

    John Guest ?

    Most car radiator cores were made of copper with brass tanks... (until we retrograded to aluminium and plastic crap) Shouldn't be an issue.

    Cable/fuse sizing.....

    Getting to a point of planning fitting of new solar panel... One of these, https://www.bimblesolar.com/ja315w-bifacial-solar-panel Connected to a Ctek 250sa. Anyone point me in the right direction of cable sizes/fuses (ideally trips) Please.

    Fitting Solar Panels Other Places ?

    Rivnuts always cause 'discussions' Frankly I wouldn't rely on them to hold anything down like a solar panel (they can act like a large wing.... You'd struggle to hold it at anything like above a slow drive) The biggest issue with Rivnuts is they come in a variety of flavours from alloy to...

    Fitting Solar Panels Other Places ?

    Well give us a shout IF you need some unistrutty type stuff.... I generally have a big tub of assorted bits lying around... And IF I can help... I will.

    Fitting Solar Panels Other Places ?

    Could you not manage with unistrut brackets and channel.... I have a fairly ready supply of different 'spare' brackets etc workwise ;-)

    Fitting Solar Panels Other Places ?

    Seems like a whole load of pfaff.... Can you not just mount them on the roof out of the way?

    Fitting Solar Panels Other Places ?

    To be honest unless it was completely unavoidable I'd be avoiding flexible panels.... Both on cost and longevity grounds.

    Looks like I might have to get around to fitting solar panel soon.

    It goes back upright easy enough.... Getting back in is interesting with my creaky bones... And takes some bailing to get dry.... Only other one I've seen had a built in bilge pump... I'm still debating whether to sell and get a sit on instead.... More practical BUT no where near as...

    Looks like I might have to get around to fitting solar panel soon.

    Cheers chap.... It's a single seat... Around 17ft I'd possibly have been better off with a sit on plastic one as its a bit awkward to unload/load solo.... But it's fast in the water ;-)

    Looks like I might have to get around to fitting solar panel soon.

    It's certainly going to take some thinking about roof acreage wise (need to have kayak up there too)

    Looks like I might have to get around to fitting solar panel soon.

    Stood down from work for the time being... So looks like I may have time to make a start on fitting panel and battery to battery charger. Had bits kicking around for a while.... Ctek 250s and one of these panels https://www.bimblesolar.com/ja315w-bifacial-solar-panel should be a bit of...

    Budget Generators ??

    I've brought many a briggs and Stratton powered mower back from the tip AND coaxed it back into life (before flogging it shortly after for a healthy profit....) I've also butchered a few mowers to make some beastly machines,when I liven on my narrow boat (free moorings for some grounds...

    Cheap Little Battery MONITOR - But How Good Is it ?

    In fairness supplies look limited atm.... There were a couple of folks selling on ebay that, are now showing out of stock.... Ive definitely got one on my shopping list for the Moho.
