A diesel generator would be your best bet to stop people parking next to you.

Or tap into a local street light

Yes being able to angle the panels will help but you are going to need about 1KW of solar to survive a winter.

Absolutely, I take my pants off to have a good wash of my bits, you have to keep yourself clean. :wave:

Plenty of sheds with beds down here in north west london. :wave:

For a man a empty comfort fabric conditioner bottle would come in handy. :idea::idea::idea:

These 2 leisure batteries are going to be heavy, and thought needs to be given to getting them in and out and space to make the electrical connections safely, if you short out the terminals there is going to be a big flash and maybe a big bang. I would not fit them in a confined space, make...

One point to observe is the engine oil level. If the oil level is rising then it is very likely that diesel fuel is going past the pistons and into the sump. A high oil level is very risky and can lead to the diesel turbo burning its own sump oil and engine runaway. Leaving the van engine...

Yes you could just run the engine, and then keep it running for an extra half hour afterwards. An uprated alternator would also come in very handy. :tongue::tongue::tongue:

Not really you need a lot of energy to heat hot water, even with a 12 volt immersion heaters that you can use to heat a mug of water take a while. Its well worth using any excess power to ensure the starter battery is kept topped up. :hammer::hammer::hammer:
