If the liesure battery is connected to the starter battery as stated, unless it is disconnected before attempting to start the engine the liesure battery becomes not a trickle charge but that of a jump start battery, in which case the leads must be capable of carrying the starter motor ampage...

Are you suggesting that the starter battery is piggy backing off the liesure battery Dave? If that's the case the cable between the starter and liesure battery would have to be capable of taking a very high current and the fuses would have to be hefty indeed unless I've mis understood your...

Without doubt its a John guest fitting, and as st3v3 says the collar has to be depressed and the tail pulled out. The button looks to be a plug that closes off another orifice. It seems that the originater of fitting the tap ran out of straight connectors and used a "T" piece and a plug. Phil

It is use and construction which does not include colour or decals Hmmmm and I would defo expect if a different model is used then yes I would think that re application would be required.Phil

Type approved means that the particular type of vehicle has been pre approved I.e. in terms of "Motorcaravan" by the ministry of transport, and so future vehicles being produced can have the attributed term applied to the registration document for future production. Any deviation from the...

I am not saying the DVLA stance is right in the way they are now turning away reclassification requests, but it is not right to say a self-build is identical to a factory build as there is a very different administrative process. Dave you forget that the DVLA response is always that the vehicle...

Hi Pudsey, Yes as I originally said that at first glance it does look just like a van with side windows, but what really rankles me is that if you put my Sis in laws van along side an Autosleeper 2022 conversion there is no distinguishable difference other than the V5 of hers now reads van with...

This is a screen shot of my solar inverter details from today and as you can see the grid voltage is 238v which is actually higher than usual. As I said maybe different areas have different voltages when supplied by generators I.e. Hydro as opposed to Nuclear or even fossil fueled stations. Phil.

Very odd Dave, as I mentioned, for a long time I personally have never seen 240v or above it's always shown as between 230 and 237volts maybe in different areas the voltage is slightly different depending on which type of generator is supplying the grid. As for the microwave I'm sure that other...

My Sis in laws V5 has been returned today with "Van with side windows" Oh well. I do have to say that with full blackout side and rear windows it actually describes the van " At first glance" but if studied fully it is unmistakably a Motorhome. What really upsets me is the builders such as...

For many years and even now I refer to 240volts for the mains voltage in the UK, however on the occasions that I've had to test the mains over the last 10 or 15 years I've noticed that the value has been less than 240v and closer to 230v. This I have always assumed was due to mis reading of my...

This ofcourse is why the majority of posters on this tread have complained of lacking information. How you operate the taps is obviously dependent on how you open and close them. To most of us we would not even contemplate that many alternatives mainly because that many alternatives is a little...

Hmmmmm, over the last two years I've battled with spiders, I'm adverse to killing anything so have endured them as they only usually build the odd cobb Web and do catch the odd mosquito and fly, but over the past few months the common garden spider has been swapped out by these ginormous False...

Actually Pudsey I got the board sizes wrong on my previous post it should have read 1200x600x15mm and ofcourse not all of the boards were used the total would have been 112kg but there must have been atleast an 1/8th wastage which brings the total furniture board weight to 98kg, as she travels...

Na think I'll give that a miss!

On my last build I used 7 boards 8x4 or rather 2400x1250mm furniture board from Wicks it cost at least a third less than the so called lightweight furniture board from motorhome suppliers and quite honestly was very little extra weight, it is 15mm thickness so all the usual trims and corner...

Hmmmm, think we may have come to the end of this discussion. Phil 😵‍💫

Tony your plan is definitely workable, I've done many a plumbing job on motorhomes and campervans and looking at your plan it is a workable solution to how you require it to work if that's what you require. The comments I've made were meant to be helpful obviously I mis understand your post. Phil
