This weekend the brackets, controllers and panels got mounted, cables pulled and junction box glued on. Wanted to finish the project but the wiring is going to have to wait as I made mistakes on both the last two fixings, lost concentration so time to quit. Unistrut and some pipework unistrut...

I am soon to mount aluminium PV panels on to unistrut. I presume the unistrut I have obtained is galvanised, would you barrier between the two different metals?

Came across this when trying to work out how a diesel heater works. Maybe admin would like to 'sticky' it........ https://www.vanlifeadventure.com/campervan-conversion/campervan-heating/

Between my starter battery and my leisure battery is there any unit/gadget (b2b?) that does anything (there are fuses but I understand them)? I have had instances where my leisure battery has voltage but my starter battery is dead, why does the charge not work in reverse? I think I've mashed...

I'm too nervous to mount x2 jerry cans on fibreglass, I've bottle it! So my spare wheel is underslung, I can use that space for the 2 cans but it means mounting the spare on the bull bars. Will look horrible imo but that's where am at. Is it as simple as getting a metal plate welded to the bull...

I have roof bars on my moho situated in an ideal part of the roof and their length/spacing would allow for a 180 possible 200W panel, so good start, but surprisingly youtube is lacking on videos of attaching panels to bars, mine are round. Has anyone done this, I'm trying to avoid the extra...

Any concerns with the design?

Presently I plan to buy the holders in the link https://www.jerrycans.co.uk/product/20litre-holder/ I am fixing on to fibre glass; I am thinking internally firstly to increase the thickness by using a fibre glass repair kit with that armid tape I have been recommended, then glueing a length of...

If you use the WC forum its likely you know my wife spent many hours painting our van recently. Well over the weekend I did this.....

Morning, Anyone purchased from 'Tanks Direct' ? Wondering about quality as price seems excellent. Your thoughts on the need for baffles in a small tank such as the one in the link which is the one that suits my needs. Ty https://www.tanks-direct.co.uk/30-litre-water-tank-flat.html

Before I give it any proper consideration; If parked for a few days do you think a reflective windscreen sunshade positioned around a pv panel would aid morning/evening sun harvesting to a level that it is worth the faff?

I am starting to think about the toolbox for my overland trip, I don't want to carry a drill/charger/battery for obvious reasons. If you are using a manual drill (never used one, to young :p) at an angle where you cant use body weight and only push are they still effective?

I will soon be fitting external fittings on to fibreglass, I plan to investigate the hab box shell for support struts (unsure of technical name) but for any places where the only structure is the fibreglass are pop rivets my best option? The loads will not be excessive...

For people purchasing base vehicles, especially larger ones is 'Build your own Overland Camper' by Steve Wigglesworth a 'known' book that people will already be aware of? If not I might try to work out how to add a book link and description to resources but don't want to waste my time if all...

Bought our Mitsubishi Delica back in January, still researching upgrades to no interesting pics yet. No idea how I have put the picture on twice, not very tech savvy!

Hi all, I am new to motor homing. I bought a Mitsubishi Delica JB 470 in January and am slowly getting to know it. I will definitely be fitting PV, upgrading batteries and possibly looking to gain some more ground clearance but it might be a bit top heavy to go down this route. Aiming to drive...
