The big question is, can you also view your electrical data?

Looks like a fun job to play with on the bench. At least it looks like it's got a stand alone controller.

The seat must have an encoder for the position, sounds like a job for a Pi.

What you need is the cars wiring diagram.

Trevor is getting ready for the North South contraband business ;)

With the Betty build I took into account of the location of any shadowed areas. And grouped my panels in three. Each with its own controller. The panels are in series to harvest that last little bit.

Another very important job David, treat that rust before it gets out of control. ;)

This does read like a case of "whatever you think you need, double it"

Betty's roof has lots of furniture, and the max fans cause the biggest shadows of all. It's just being aware of them.

I think David means not close to a vent.

I’ve found the expensive ones ok, but the eBay specials are rubbish.

No that will be for the Betty build.

I don’t have any, let alone in bed!

Any exposed metal work will be somewhere for condensation to form. Even the heads of the screws though the battens! It can be a laborious task. Try to use only closed cell insulation. Any wool or fibrous material will hold water in time. I’ve used pu foam board to fill the big voids and self...

Time to step up to another challenge. I’ve been putting this off for a while, but I don’t know why. A new step is required as the original is rotting. One of the pains being is that it also has to be a removable cover for the eberspacher. The eberspacher has a washable foam filter, so once...

Better still our advice is free, and our combined knowledge vast. ;)

Keeping it simple. I have an air blown eberspacher connected to a length air hose. This runs from one end of the coach to the other. At the other end of the hose I have a water heated fan heater. This has been adapted to also blow into the same length of hose. When the water heated heater is...
