I haven't used this company, but it's the same sort of thing. https://www.viperperformance.co.uk/36_silicone-hoses.html It's funny that Betty had some silicone hoses already fitted. The hoses were as new, the hose clamps had rotted away.

I try to run a minimum of 50/50 water ethylene glycol. To date I have not seen any problems with copper.

Don't ever connect your engine coolant water to your domestic supply!

Always handy to have.

Just use a kitchen gas lighter to light it.

I’m in this pipe dilemma now with the Betty build. Murky has copper with Yorkshire soldered fittings. Push fit domestic plastic. Automotive rubber hoses and steel pipes. I have pump noise. I extract my water from the top of the stainless steel tank with copper pipe. This changes quickly to...

Looks like a lot of panel for your pennies :)

Slow progress, but it is progress. Bags and air chambers removed to aid cleaning and painting. Structure has been added to have a gas locker on the left hand side and a home for the calorifier on the right hand side. The Gas locker will be panelled on the inside to help with the inevitable...

If you haven't done so, or don't have access, mastic over both sides of the rivets that penetrate the roof. The have a habit of leaking through the rivet.

I find mine very cold when wandering around with naked feet.

Remember I didn't type this!! Use a sticky backed panel and stick it to your ribs. Try not to let it sag too much. In the spaces under the panel, spray foam insulation. You can get versions that don't expand too much. When fully set trim the escaped foam with a sharp knife. Seal the edges...

https://www.onboardenergydirect.co.uk/shop/New-Victron-MultiPlus-Inverter-Charger-24-1200-25-16.html#SID=41 I'd have liked to have smaller, but it's knowing how low can you go with it making objectional noises. I just switched on my fridge in Murky to try and load the panels, but it only pulled...

With each coach I have very big windscreens and I had thought about a couple of small panels to hold up the 24 volt engine batteries. The Betty build is getting a mulitplus, so that will look after them if I leave it on all the time.

The wave form of my undulations are very slight. Over 300 - 400mm maybe a rise and fall of about 10mm. The flatter I can get the roof the less chance of hearing that horrible crunch sound that suggests you've damaged the panel.

The Miasol have not been fitted yet due to a mixture of poor weather and an undulating GRP roof. The uneven roof I'm fixing by packing PU insulation under the steel work. The next bit is in the hands of the gods. The paint is pealing, so it needs a heavy sanding before recoating. Once cured...

The reason I went down the Miasol route was not primarily the fact they were flexible and had an adhesive backing. I'm interested in the adverse condition performance. In ideal conditions all the panels I've tried seem to work well. I do see a problem for you Robert. By the time you sanded...

This is the little devil that makes domestic fridges hard to play with. http://www.carbonbrush.com/8ea.pdf

For me, deciding on how long it was being kept for. Nothing worse than going back to fix a problem you knew was going to bite you.

You are correct Trev, but remember I'm working in a housing estate. There is only so much you can get away with outside. As I've typed before the steel that would most benefit from shot blasting is impossible to get at without stripping of the body. Yes hot rolled hollow section mill scale...

Still progress is slow. This is from Saturdays efforts and Sunday's was not much better. Anita assures me I'm making progress, but think I'm just making a mess :(
