  1. Scotland road saftey limits

    My Devon has a plate they fix under the bonnet with the ULW, (2700 Kg on a 3500 GVW van) I assumed all converters needed to do this.. Maybe it's just on PVC's..
  2. Drink Driving and Scotland

    We also can't buy alcohol before 10am here in Scotland, not really a problem, but I like to do the full shop really early, so it's a bit of a pain. Again, OTT legislation to try and cure a minority problem...
  3. Motorhome Dealer Delivery Times

    On the flip side, we have just bought a 4 year old van from Devon conversions, and we rang on Friday about it, saw it the next day, paid and drive it home straight away. They have a (limited) stock of PVC's ready to go. https://devonconversions.co.uk/used-motorhomes/ Also, Devon would buy it...
  4. Check Ducato Recall

    The DVLA MOT check using your reg number has a section to show outstanding recalls.. https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history
  5. Fogstar drift batteries

    Typical .... a few months after I bought the 460Ah Drift battery for £999, its now £899 in the Black Friday sale! Has performed brilliantly though, so more than happy with the Fogstar. https://www.fogstar-drift.co.uk/discount/HIDDEN?ref=DISCOUNT Not sure if we also get the 5% discount as well...
  6. Heading North ...

    Its worth the walk along the beach to the little chapel beyond cardoness, set back above the beach in the trees.
  7. Heading North ...

    One of our favourite sites in winter...and Alison (owner) is lovely. We very often have the site to ourselves. Great walks along the beach at low tide. Many times we sit by a fire, and watch the stars....
  8. Inverter wiring

    Sounds like you have all the advice you need, so good luck, and sometimes the simplest solutions are the most reliable. Not sure which inverter you have gone for, but (you may already know) that they take a reasonable amount of current (typically 1.5 A) when on, with no load. Many inverters have...
  9. Inverter wiring

    I would put the cut off switch AND the 250A fuse between the battery and the bus bar (Have just done similar with a 460Ah fogstar, and 2000W inverter). I used a quality switch like this one, not the cheap £10 eBay ones!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204618604633
  10. Kennacraig to Isle of Islay

    We found Islay one of the best and friendliest places to WC, all the locals wave at you, even taxi drivers. Options for waste disposal as well. My favourite Scottish Island, and I live in Scotland! Don't believe the calmac woman, she is out of order... Loads of places to WC, all recommended.
  11. Engine loosing power

    I would go with Canalsman suggestion ... a semi blocked fuel filter (or some issue with fuel lines, like leaky joint). May also be worth putting some diesel cleaner through the system as a simple option.
  12. Internet booster

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-80GB-Data-SIM-Business-Grade/dp/B0B88QM3ZK/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.7QERZ_eC2Lv8Hs_iUY3vFz8q-JRDIgWygoYpaB66_yJ3EjTIzyD4pxvHxTBGdsO2GTsB3MRjVy1Ft8pn1BPNiDGCKoTxvFspGwPdAZ0cHXyMnAE5ag9AiRW-qW0yUKqKawZCJHanrFignCEmJe80DcOxtjjiTomwmKJq8fvhIpBZLLBHsPnWna10AzHZre...
  13. ISOLATORS FOR PV PANELS AND BATTERY

    For battery isolation, I am using these Durite ones....cheaper ones are available, but these are so much better quality.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204618604633
  14. When to sell a van?

    Good luck with Devon conversions, we picked ours up from them 3 weeks ago (not new, but in as new condition). Their prices (for a small converter) are quite reasonable, but maybe they don't have all the extras (like vantage /autosleeper etc) as standard. You probably already know, but getting a...
  15. Fogstar drift batteries

    Snap! The bright display was too annoying...
  16. Fogstar drift batteries

    This cant be right, Renolgy quote 90%, which admittedly is quite poor, but that would be 250W wasted, not 1100W... For comparison, Victron 2000VA inverter quote 92%, although widely tested as low as 89%. They all seem to be fairly inefficient...
  17. Fogstar drift batteries

    If It detects 240V on its mains INPUT connector, it passes this 240v through direct to its 2 mains OUTPUT sockets (10A max). When the 240V input is removed (eg Remove EHU) then it detects this, and switches the inverter circuits on, and supplies its 2 output sockets with 'inverter' power. Quite...
  18. Stop start technology?

    I just bought the same Bosch battery for my 4 year old start stop Sevel van for £189 delivered next day from BMS technologies. Fitted it last night. Like yours, it had deactivated the start stop due to insufficient battery power. (Bosch S5A15)
