Hi Tony, I have to agree with Pudsey and say that to me at least you have greatly over thought out your pluming system. I am not aware of the vehicle you are building but calling it a Campervan suggests its similar to a VW T 5/6, if this is the case two 100L Internal tanks would be taking up...

I've fitted a few seats now with no hassle from the authorities. They must be fitted so that they are not liable to go through the floor in the advent of collision. I.e. bolted through the floor with the bolts going through strengthener plates if fitted to just the steel floor on the front legs...

Do you not have the facility of switching the inverter off when using shore power where by you are using solely the hook up power for fridge and hob + charging the battery and reverting to inverter when wild camping. I have to say that some sites only have an 8amp hook up though the standard...

Cor! That's cheap I'll have two of them. 🤣. Phil

Darwinian theory 😁 Ps. There are many more Chinese diesel heaters in use than those of German origin yet you don't hear of the Government banning Chinese heaters because of the danger of monoxide poisoning. No unfortunately it's the installations that are at fault just as with Espacher if they...

This is as I said, the majority of problems come from installation and not the equipment. As for co2, it's always necessary to have a good monoxide alarm installed too, I have two Fire angels Carbon monoxide/ Smoke alarms, one back and one front. I never ever run my Truma 4e when asleep unless...

Most of what you mention has some truth in it Dave, but you have to pay your money and make your choice, let's face it most things that go wrong with the heaters ( Not the installation of them) is either electrical or mechanical failure and in most if not all instances do not end up catching...

My view is that the majority of dangerous cases are caused by people that have no idea about the fitting and installation of items be they 12volt/240v/Diesel or Gas, or what the consequences are of a bodged or inefficient installation. It seems to me that if the write up is correct the reason...

😄 As I said in my original post Phil, I can always use it as a sail. 😆 Phil.

Morning all, it's a typical late autumn day here at Tregegar House Caravan park, raining and not so warm so I thought I'd continue with my post on satellite fitting. Well I've finished the set up and have used it on multiple occasions since I first posted. Below are a few photos as promised...

The trouble with inverters I find is they are by nature 12v power hungry if used to power any AC product much over 3-400w and even if switched on but not supplying 240v they are taking ampage from the battery bank. I had to fit this inverter if I ever want to use Sky Q while not on shore power...

As for fuse rating I've just fitted a 85cm self seeking dish running sky Q And a Scr switch which is 20v running off 230v ac through reducer bricks so have had to finally add an inverter in the system to A) Run the Scr (Single cable operation) and B) Also run the Sky Q box. The inverter is a...

Bit of a mouthful Phil, 😁

🤣

Good for me, doesn't matter what the name is really but if it does promote further interest then go for it. Phil 😁

Well done Pudsey 😁👌. Phil

At only 120w Pudsey if it was me I'd just try it out and see how long the battery lasts as 120w would be the max wattage during use on it's highest setting. Certainly in my view a 300watt inverter would be more than sufficient. The best test is to try it suck it and see. Phil.

Morning all, after our trip down to the South of France recently we lost our satellite signal about half way down, not the end of the world but really annoying as we lost not only Sky, freesat but also the radio stations, luckily we had arranged Smarty sims for our phones before we left so could...

Have to admit Squirrell we went the easy way and payed an installer to fit ours 6kw yes it cost us £8.5k but since Feb when they came on line it has more than halved our leccy bill and we've sold enough back to the grid to more than pay the standing charge, our supplier doesn't except monthly...

As some might be aware I'm touring France at the moment actually in South of France now. Although the gas We set off with is still plenty and will probably last us till we get home, started with about 16ltrs and have only used about a quarter of that in two weeks so far, its absolutely...
