    Electric blanket when wild camping

    It'll only be used when I'm awake and turned off to sleep using its own switch, I could find any info of quiescent drain.

    Electric blanket when wild camping

    I put my inverter next to the bed head, I'm wondering if just turning it off at the inverter is enough, should I have an inline switch? And which one?

    Fuses

    Thanks 2 cup It's all already fitted them with the wiring they came with, I will be shortening the ciggy socket/USB wiring but only for tidiness as it's going to get swapped for a dedicated USB socket when I get around to finding the bagful I bought ages ago, (it has one of these right now...

    Change of website name, Maybe...

    There are a few sites and YouTube channels with Vanlife in the title, most a bit amateurish, this is very professional. I think DIY would be better but Jim has that, but this is so descriptive I'd leave well enough alone Phil it does what it say on the "tin". You could have the domain active...

    Fuses

    Yes it's the cables I'm trying to protect as they are no coiled or anythign just out of site under the beds. The Bestek (NOT Belkin) inverter has no fuse in the plug at all I just checked, and its still under warranty so I can't open the box, instructions are no help. Cable on ciggy socket is...

    Fuses

    Always confuse me. The ciggy socket I fitted yesterday is needing a fuse I think although the thing I used didn't have on in line as I assume it depended on the vehicle providing the fusing, I just cut the plug off and put ring terminals on, it's only for a USB plug so I assume a 5a fuse will...

    At last

    I just spent a bit of time in the van, I hard wired a 12v socket extension from my side to Lizs side so she can charge her phone/tablet without it being a trip hazard, and I hard wired in the 300 Belkin inverter in the lounge so I can plug in the electric blanket, not done much van playing for...

    So I have a van

    I must have misread the original thread on you selling up and going for an off road van, I thought you were getting a 4x4 truck and doing the build yourself.

    Electric blanket when wild camping

    I'm okay at night with a 10 tog double duvet folded in half (single beds) it's just when I'm sat reading or watching something on the tablet.

    Electric blanket when wild camping

    I bought a watt meter for the scooter, not a clue how to use it, I'm crap with instructions, I look at the page but it just goes out of my head before I can utilise the information, I wonder if there is anything on YouTube about them.

    Electric blanket when wild camping

    Been using it at home for two days now and setting 2-3 seems enough, way cheaper than putting the heating on which is crap in this house anyway.

    Electric blanket when wild camping

    I have nerve damage which makes my left leg feel like ice when it's cold, and due to the current (sorry) energy cost I invested in a electric throw, it arrived yesterday and it seems to work really well I was actually over warm last night in the lounge, I don't need it on the bed as I have a...

    Inverter help needed

    After a couple of trips away I decided that although the scooter was great when I could actually use it, I didn't actually use it that often, the charging without going into the methods suggested was a royal pain because of all the bending and twisting, so I bought a 4 wheeled walker with a seat...
