  1. Rentalcars.com prices too good to be true?

    Wow! Sorry to hear that. Used them for years and never had any problems and they've never stung me with any extras on collection. They are my hire company of choice.
  2. Rentalcars.com prices too good to be true?

    Also try holidayautos.co.uk. They are an ethical uk company and I've always found them extremely competitive. I've used them many times over a 15 year span in Spain, Croatia and Greece and never had any problems.
  3. AVTEX-16 inch TV-DVD-Combi-W164DR-Digital-with built in freeview tuner

    12 volt Avtex TV complete with 12 volt cable, remote control and user manual. It is used but has had very little use. There's no 240v mains adaptor, stand or TV bracket supplied with this TV. This is the perfect TV for a motorhome? It has a superb viewing angle and a very clear picture. Has one...
  4. Making off grid RV electrical systems work

    Happened to come across this blog. It's a long read but packed with information to get the most out of your solar panel albeit an American article. A bit of night reading maybe, but worth a read nevertheless. https://handybobsolar.wordpress.com/the-rv-battery-charging-puzzle-2/
  5. Downloading poi's to iPad?

    I currently don't have a laptop computer, just have my iPad. Is there a way to download the poi's to my iPad and then transfer them to my Garmin satnav? If so how do you do it and what cable will I need to connect these devices together with?

  7. Bargain National Trust and English Heritage

    Surely supporting our National Trust is a good cause for us, our children and future generations still to come. They need the money, there is colossal upkeep on these old buildings. Thank goodness for the National Trust to save our heritage because the government wouldn't.
  8. Gasit filling in spain

    We're at the stop & go aire at Benicarlo/peniscola and there's a Repsol garage at the end of the road with new GPL pump just installed and they have all the connections. We have heard that 2016 there will be one standard adaptor for all of Europe if you believe that!! Can't see it myself, but it...

  10. Italy

    Wildcamping was quite relaxed in the places we visited, but I'm sure it's not the same all over. aire de sosta's are the cheap sites. I normally look to see where the Italians park and do the same. Good luck
  11. Solar problems

    If I did this would I not lose the ability to charge both the vehicle battery and the leisure battery?
  12. Solar problems

    This is a good question and I don't really know the answer. The reason I know they have failed is because I have a bar on the control panel that shows the amp reading and this fluctuates between 2 to 3 amps going into the battery. When I check it after a journey the amps are on zero and the LB...
  13. Solar problems

    I don't know what is the cause but this is the equipment. I have a Sargent EC500 charger and power supply with an EC480 control panel. I have an 80 watt solar panel and a regulator that is built into the Sargent power supply. The solar regulators keep failing. They appear to work fine when...
  14. Running 3 way fridge on EHU in Spain

    The polarity is the wrong way round but I called Craig Foot at Sargent before I turned any devices on to check what to do. He said just plug in and everything will work fine. He said it can't do any damage to appliances and the only reason I would need to be concerned is if I was intending to do...
  15. Running 3 way fridge on EHU in Spain

    We are currently on a campsite in Spain plugged into electrics. We have a thetford automatic 3 way fridge. I plugged into the ehu and checked the fridge and the symbol displays that we have successfully connected to mains electricity. However I can check an hour later and it's running on gas...
  16. Where did my 50+ amps disappear to?

    It's a new mh and this is its first trip out. I have a solar panel but so far 3 regulators have failed. The reason I know what's going on with the battery is the Sargent EC480 control panel shows the volts and the amps data on the panel. The fridge is running on gas, I'm not using the water...
  17. Where did my 50+ amps disappear to?

    How many days should the LB last on a modern mh? I know this is not a straight forward question and therefore can't expect a straight forward answer as there are so many variables, but at this time of year in the south of France and not using TV, hardly any lights on until 10pm, no heating...
  18. Electrical/ battery over charging problem

    I'm just thinking, I had the same setup on previous Motorhome and I didn't disable the standard charging system from and it all worked fine. The only difference was the solar panel regulator was heavy duty German make.
  19. Electrical/ battery over charging problem

    No this won't have been disconnected. Any chance you can tell me how to do this please.
  20. Electrical/ battery over charging problem

    We're in France and have a problem with our charging systems. the power won't come on because the display is showing 16 volts again so I put a blanket on the solar panel and then the system will switch on. The drive today was mostly cloudy and some drizzle so can't have been much charge coming...
