I had mine SORN'd in March and just taxed it again today, so I could get some bulky supplies.

I did abandoned the idea of solar heating. I can't remember if I mentioned this on here, but I picked up a second hand Carver 2 in good condition.

I'm using a Neos SmartHome thing that Gadget John mentioned once. It was about £25 and plugs into a USB socket. The day and night image quality is remarkably good and I get alerts on my phone with a short video clip if there's motion or sound detected. I did disable the sound trigger though...

I did fit it in the end, and forgot I had started this thread! I also knocked together a talky video or what I did. It might help someone one day, and it hasn't exploded yet :)

Heh, funnily enough my wife is a retired teacher.

Can you just image a bus turning up with 6 kids? That alone would make me cringe.

@ScoTTyBEEE have you watched any of the Project Amber videos? He also converted the same vehicle and probably has some knowledge of what you're going through.

If you've got somewhere off the road to work and aren't in a rush, take your time and enjoy the process of conversion. It's taken me a couple of years to get where I am today, as life and stuff just got in the way. The same result in the end though.

It's a BT router but I disabled the unreliable WiFi and have tp-link access points.

That's weird, as my network is 2Ghz and 5Ghz, so not sure which one they're connected on. I just ran Fing on my phone and they all appear. The mac vendor is saying "Espressif" for all of them.

I'm surprised you didn't get the teckin plugs working. I've got a couple of versions at home running on schedules (Smart Life app) and connected to google home for voice control. The round ones are especially nice as they don't cover the on/off switch of the wall socket, but they lack the energy...

I bought a rear-view monitor that clips onto the mirror. Too late to change?

I fitted an inline filter on my tank. It seemed expensive but it might prevent this.

You should find the use of red diesel etc are covered by section 5 of this document: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/fuels-for-use-in-vehicles-excise-notice-75#general-information-about-rebated-fuels Have a good read of the 5.2 and 5.3 as it also answers questions asked in this thread.

I've stayed in Spanish hotels where you almost have to stand to have a bath :)

I call mine a toilet cubicle. There's a shower in it too. I'm baffled why people call them bathrooms when clearly we're not sticking a bath in them?

It's the Victron SmartSolar 100/20 so should be ok up to 100V from the solar?

When I first set up my system, I had two 100W panels in parallel into a 20A PWM controller. I was under the impression PWM could only handle it this way. I've recently replaced this with an MPPT controller and added a 3rd 100W panel, still wired in parallel. I'm guessing that if my panels were...

Mine was a former lease vehicle and there's all those Tesco vans!

Not a very extensive list! No sign of Iveco Daily.
