Just a thought, might be worth a chat with Coalition Vans. Sheffield. No idea of costs etc, but always worth a chat.

Don't Panic, common sense has left the building and gone on a sabbatical.. I thought long and hard about putting a mini stove in my van, but decided against it, too dusty and always collecting wood. I've taken the gas out of my van and now rely on a diesel stove which I am now getting used...

I'm in the planning stage of fitting a diesel stove in my van, and I also have already a diesel heater. Now if I tap into my main tank, can I use the one supply to feed both appliances. Important to note that each appliance has it's own pump and only one appliance would be used at any time. The...

They are on ebay, but at ridiculous prices, about £650.

Nicely put Sir Phil.

I think Rae used his existing ducting for his diesel heater.

David has answered that question nicely.

Some time ago I had a conversation with Phil (admin) about battery charging, and how it could be done without a battery charger....interesting and then put it in the file section of my memory banks. Well with the lack of sun and not using the van, but using the diesel heater, I thought I had...

I'm no too bothered about the noise off mine, and I think my combi boiler at home makes more noise.:)

Now that is looking good.(y)

Just a bit of redecorating, it now makes me smile every time I get in the van.:)

Good thing to read. If a heater has been over primed or not burning properly, and diesel has collected in the exhaust, it's going to smoke!

Must admit Rae, I never sleep with heat on, I have done in the past but always felt a little off in the morning. So now in the morning out of bed, turn heater on, back into bed and enjoy the warming of of the van, then get up for the first coffee of the day. The simple pleasures of van life...

I've used 16mmsq, but my cable runs are very short ( less than a metre ) and I invested in a hydraulic crimper, what a difference it makes!

Hi, I am not a fan of split charge relays, and switched to B to B, years ago. Your idea of switching to this system with 25mmsq is definitely the way to go, although it will be costly. Just as an aside, all those connectors on the battery look pretty ropey, and a good service of those components...

That's a beautiful piece of work, something you can only get in a self build.(y)

So looking forward to seeing your build, but I am curious to know how you will cope with the tilt cab, of which I am assuming is a tilt cab. Parkers of Garstang do horse box's and they have managed to overcome that problem. Good luck with your build.(y)

One day you will be out in Betty, enjoying a glass of something, and with misty eyes, all the bruises and cuts and frustrations will disappear into the darker recesses of your mind.......;):unsure:(y)

Bead blaster eh! I'm not jealous, well.....maybe a little bit, this green makeup is not doing me any favours.....:alien::LOL::ROFLMAO:
