Do you have any plans to fit solar any time soon? Most controllers will have a voltage reading. Or, I cut out those led's and fitted a small voltmeter and push button to operate it.

Ours is fiamma and I like it. Even in the rain - just lower one corner. It does get put away in the wind though. I figure that's not a problem as we wouldn't be sat there in the wind. Rain maybe, but not wind. I've used the body clips wilding.

Very nice, but have you heard of duck tape???

Lol. Maybe we should be called the tangent forum.

Harsh lol. Unistrut is a good shout, but looks rather industrial...

Awesome. Boy's similar - sat playing mastermind in the pub with a seven year old can only make you proud :) He has his moments, but to be fair it's only when he's ill/hungry/proper tired. There's nothing I wouldn't take him to.

LOL. My plasterer has 2 daughters - one well into the teenage stage and all I'll say is I'm glad I have a boy! If it's any consolation wife fought like f'uk with parents about trivial stuff when she was that age, but started to get on really well not that much later :)

Based on assumptions about daughter - please provide age/vital statistics/pictures* to confirm - Aluminium it is! * Delete as applicable to not make me a paedophile/letch lol.

I'm not sure how much crash testing is important? Are the seatbelt mounts on the bit you're making? Is it possible for any mass to impact the back of the seat in a crash? If no and no, then aluminium will be fine as long as it's all bolted together securely.

Very cool.

£600 - ouch. What was it?

I like network cables being compulsory. I've fitted it a couple of times, but people don't seem to realise how useful it is. Until the wireless gets ruined by next doors doorbell or something lol. The lightning thing worries me, and I think the only truly effective thing is a proper lightning...

You mean radial ;) but yes, 7's more the norm, maybe another for alarm.

It was a link to the picture within image tags. What a petty looser. Ah well... Radials i'll do sometimes, ring allows 2.5mm2 to be fused at 32a. Less circuits for a given number of sockets. A basic house would potentially only have 4 circuits in total. Maybe a 5th for a bigger cooker.

Yes, it's not ideal. I would hope that as it's factory made there would be ferrules crimped on the end of the wires to help reduce the risk. Like these: Http://andysworld.org.uk/aquablog/bblog/pictures/e9d7a9c8f330fa4c725f815a5743e405.jpg You can get them to fit more wires in the same tube...

Randomly found this nice panel: ZIG E2 ELDDIS CARAVAN DISTRIBUTION/CONTROL PANEL WITH BATTERY GAUGE | eBay Spot the deliberate mistake though!

Cheers, it had to be somewhere! I think the wiring in the box at the moment - several mains cables from the MCB's - is for various different things i.e. sockets, heater, fridge, batt charger... Edit, there is another diagram further on that shows more appliances - there is an electric fire and...

Actually, I think I've found a diagram. https://www.bailey-parts.co.uk/HandbookDetails.aspx?Model=H01H&Type=S Select service manual, 2007, discovery 5, mercury and the diagram is on page 17. It might be easier to save a copy of the PDF as it opens in a small frame. If it's the right one...

One side of most of the fuses (take the lighting ones as a starting point) are all joined to the same point - and probably a red wire. This wire ultimately needs to be connected to the +ve of the battery. You might find it's routed through the fuse labelled van battery +. Just trace it through...

Check the other mains cables are insulated before you plug this in lol. So, the wires that go in to the top of the RCD - that's the orange wire right? This needs 240V. The top of the MCB with charger label should now become live. This should then somewhere loop around to the kettle plug in the...
