Why so many flies / midges on Sylvia ?? Any ideas anyone ?

I have been deliberating the Purchase of a Delta Lithium Battery Power Supply. Probably won't happen as they are pretty expensive and another AGM battery would be a lot less money. Interested in what other folk might think about this as a product / idea ? Link here...

Great Idea (y) I was wondering what I would use to mount it Also need to tidy where I have the battery / control / Inverter and all as it's getting messier. Just going to use BMV via BT for now

Hope you get something back as looks like an Amazon Affiliate Link ;) Just bought one from your link Thanks for the help again (y) Robert

cannot get to that without potentially dismantling everything and having to re-do seals (possible nightmare job !) I have updated what has happened on another thread, https://motorhomebuilder.com/threads/some-gas-help-please.66714/ thanks for your input nonethless Robert

That set-up looks great, the last time I took the Van to the garage they left the sidelights on and flattened the battery. LOL It is an old Van and although the engine battery is quite a high end Bosch One, I do have concerns leaving "things" powered on. Although saying that, I do have one of...

Nice one, was going to write a lengthy reply when this happened....

Here's mine Parts from this store https://www.wildebus.com/store/ Help from @wildebus Robert

Hiya Hope it has no lights if "live all the time" Also that no one leaves anything plugged in that could deplete the battery I did similar on my old Van but because the USB sockets had a blue light I integrated a switch to isolate the USB if leaving the Van sat for a long time

Dear @wildebus What a fantastic and informative post Just a question on Day 2 - whilst going through the Post, I notice you have put an isolator on the negative side by the Shunt for the BMV, is there also an isolator on the Positive side or have you just isolated Batteries via Negative ...

I went to a Solar Installer, Ian Emberton, of Xerogrid, he advised a Panel that is suitable for roofs This one: I have that single 285W Panel Attached to a Victron 100/30 (sadly not the bluetooth version) Seems to work fine Recent Output in a lot of cloud Output in Sunny week (in UK) So all...

Yes will do on the next MOT, trying not to drive too much in the dark to be honest as prefer to pull up to camp overnight in the light. I have looked into these before and will do it if the Headlights blow or maybe before next MOT (August 2020) Thanks though Robert

What sort of Regulator, please ? TIA

Hiya Phil, I am not sure it is really a Thermocouple as such - it looks like this and is nowhere near the fire or heater, which means it is more like a temp control or thermostat. Also have tested it and the part on the end at right is springy but does nothing when very cold substance wrapped...

Thanks for the links I just found a DC-DC converter pretty much the same as the one in the Amazon link for significantly less https://www.banggood.com/12V-To-5V-DC-DC-Converter-Module-With-USB-Output-Power-Adapter-15W-p-937209.html So might get a couple of them, multiples offer more discount...

Yeah, glad you found it helpful. Been trying to get a raspberry Pi sorted, then realised the Pi's I have are not recent enough to run the Venus OS - Silly Me !! :devilish: So whilst trawling for a Pi I found this which is also a good deal I think, but if you know of anywhere cheaper I could get...

Thought I would run a quick test myself in Cloudy Calderdale The Panel I have is 285W and decent quality. As it is quite overcast and cloud cover is low then the output by the Panel was only averaging about 10W at around 1530 today I put a piece of cardboard over a part of the panel and did a...

Here's an Update I have removed the thumb temp control and the thermostatic couple unit that is inside It seems that the part in the Left picture above is an entire unit. Inside there is some sort of rubber type valve which seals the unit and if I press down it restricts the Gas flow So I am...

On EBAY there are some Victron Colour Control wall mount units pretty cheap, on offer. I offered £12 plus p&p which was pretty much immediately accepted so you might be able to get it cheaper. £15 total, think Retail they are plus £25 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143387640925 Cheers Robert

Dear @wildebus Read that with interest. On my Van I have a VSR for split charge. This one https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/voltage-sensitive-relay-12v-140a.html Funnily that was left in the Van when purchased and not wired in. I have since wired it in. I read: Which is good from my point of...
