Get a VSR, voltage sensing relay, pick up on the positive lead from the trike battery, take another to the trailer battery and one to earth, the relay senses the trike is being charged & then opens the large contact in the relay and sends power to the trailer, when the engine is turned off the...

What's the reason behind the question there? I'm also looking at some sort of ramp to get it in there, it's a bit heavy for lifting without pain, 500mm max at the door, maybe ply?

Sorry, took picture but brain fart means not posted it. It has to be done when driving, I suppose I could fit another Leisure battery, the one we have is only 100ah as it's more than enough up to now, but I have no idea what sort of capacity I would need to do it via the LB and 85w solar. And...

The 12v side of the fridge "should" be supplied via a Voltage Sensing Relay (VSR), basically, it senses the engine is running because the alternator is supplying volts to the VB, the VSR senses this and clicks open a connection to the fridge and usually to the LB as well. However, if I'd read...

Better capacity but too late https://www.justkampers.com/propex-10-litre-water-storage-heater-mains-electric.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwzeqVBhAoEiwAOrEmzZw7ysmFJw6jbXmWBl2NAdLqvHq_dc5SrBByWEleiho658hVlNBdWhoClUEQAvD_BwE

Hmm, worth a look when I get back, I'll see if there are any specs on the battery, but the scooter like everything these days came from China. Basically this venture is all suck it and see, I hope to get out of the van for longer and see more, if the scooter isn't really up to it it's in good...

Scooter in the van now, plugged into EHU on the drive for now. Next we have to get into possible Li-ion refurbishing as it's a 3 year old scooter and no idea how well the battery has been treated and having looked up how I should be looking after it lots of different opinions, so I intend to...

Ordered. Thanks so much to everyone for responding, especially our Mr Bus, sometimes you can Google or YouTube for info, but this is seriously specialist stuff, you either know or you don't, I didnae.

Bloody blind bear, just seen the link

Thanks, although there was an awful whooshing sound reading that I got the gist of it, just so I don't screw up could you link to one of those meters so I actually get the right type please, I do have a ciggy lighter display that tells me the amps draw and volts input.

So basically, plug it in and get on with it? I (using my one remaining braincell) got the requirement to be 360w IE 240v x 1.5a = 360w, did I get that wrong? or are the numbers on the charger more incomprehensible/complicated? it's the one thing I struggled with on my self build, fuses, cable...

I can post a picture of the plug, it has three pins if that helps, van is a standard Ducato 12v system, not sure what you mean by "get a fast charger", wouldn't that just make my needs higher?

Thanks, that's the same inverter I bought, BarryD recommended them, but I didn't have the scooter then.

Very nice, I won't even go to look at a van now if it doesn't have that type of heater, so much better to have ambient heating than just blown air.

I have had to buy a mobility scooter for me to use with the van and need to charge it when driving, I have a new 300w pure sine wave inverter that plugs into the dash socket, but I don't think this will do for this charger. So I need to know what would be the quickest way to sort this problem...

Oh yes, loads of sleepless nights working stuff out in my head for the next job, I'd really love to do one but my body has called time on that now, wish I'd started this hobby when I was much younger.

I'm not on here much but I noticed my name wasn't below my posts even though I thought I opted to have it. I did click save, have I not done it right?

Life intervenes as ever Phil, but I'm okay. I'm not on the build forums much as I'm not buggering about with vans anymore if I can help it, but I do look in now and then or post if I see anything useful.

Hi Phil, how are you? True, but I would decide what it was worth to me based on the new price (£70-90) and snipe it so it didn't drive the price up, I never bid on auctions now.
