All I could afford would be a matchbox diecast model !!

Using a BT SIM from work in My Wifi Dongle which is a MiFi Hotspot by EE so fortunately I pay nothing for DATA via that SIM. Not entirely sure on allowance, either 5 or 10GB I think

Will have to look in a bit, "watch later on YT" Bit public for Video playing at minute Cheers @Geeky Philip :D

Up for Auction on Friday, anyone's guess what it could go for or what, if any, reserve there might be. Looks good though if after the "forever home" https://www.johnpye.co.uk/auctions/marchington-whittaker-motorhome/

Similarly I purchased one of these. I was hoping the inverter would power it in emergency but it does not, throws out good heat for a small device though https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123928576271 Also on the Van for electric I have one similar to this, left by the last owner, also around 1KW and...

The BMV will show what's happening with the battery in terms of drain / SOC etc but won't be able to help much with diagnosing where the drain is coming from. If you are thinking of selling Murky still (I would think Murky is the vehicle we are talking about here) then I'd be happy to come...

Do you have one of these ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNI-T-DIGITAL-UT210E-100Amp-600V-AC-DC-CLAMP-METER-Multimeter-True-RMS-VFC-diode/283627864096 Or similar? You could put clamp over positive and see if leak from there or negative and leak from there on starter battery ? Might help with some...

From this link https://www.whalepumps.com/rv/product.aspx?Category_ID=10021&Product_ID=1&FriendlyID=Space-Heater-internally-located Would suggest Whale rebrand Propex If anyone has a Propex 1600 or similar going spare then I am after one. Also watching some on EBAY

I suppose that is true on newer vehicles though on self-builds and older vehicles: No alarm No immobiliser No central Locking Radio Isolated Those 4 points are the case with mine anyway. Also I would think that even on newer vehicles you won't drain the battery if parked for two weeks or so...

Looks good to go on Using Red Diesel for heating only then

The engine Start Battery(s) should not be draining when vehicle off unless there is a leak somewhere or something left on, surely ?

Quite possibly true (y)

Not got a picture, however local garage, states on the Red Diesel pump something to the affect of: "It is illegal to use Red Diesel in Road Vehicles and anyone found doing so will be prosecuted" When I next go I will take a Picture and put it up here. I would "think" that if you fill a dedicated...

BTW just noticed @GEOFF 's post above mine after I posted mine

Slightly out of context but, I think relevant, question. If having separate tank for a diesel heater in Habitation, then can Red Diesel be used to run the Diesel Heater ?

So my understanding is that Gas LPG and bottled Gases can be unclean fuels, they contain substances which can leave deposits on pipework and burners. As Sylvia is pretty old I am wondering if the Copper Pipes to appliances may be clogged up, thereby reducing Gas Flow. Notably why the heater is...

Thinking about it more I wonder if something could be done with an array of computer fans facing forwards and that would charge the battery as you drive, be additional to the Split Charge Relay on the Battery banks if the battery bank was large and required a lot of energy to charge. Maybe a...

Where's that then ? Link please ?

A little further research has lead me to Vertical turbines which would be more suited to RV's and MH's I think Example https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Red-400W-12V-Lantern-Wind-Turbine-Generator-with-Charge-Controller-5-Blades-8j/153694002644

The technology has improved I think. My understanding is that a turbine would produce AC current rather than DC current like a solar panel and so to bring the Turbine into the system you would need to do some trickery in between the Turbine and the controller or use a different Wind power based...
