I just use a 12v oil transfer pump (£10 from lidl) to fill a couple of jerry cans from my CH oil tank for my diesel heater.

Ebay has 20% off certain traders till tomorrow- eg 100ah lithiums for around £400. https://www.ebay.co.uk/e/coupon-offers/sale1120-motorhome-parts-accessories https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/Selected-Promotions/bn_7116140159?_trkparms=%26clkid%3D7954200762698592962

Down to -10 here in Dumfries and Galloway, but has meant a stunning starry dark sky.

Would normally be out and about in the highlands at this time of year, but its going to be -12C tonight in Braemar, so feel lucky we are at a cosy -8C tonight here in the S of Scotland! I once went camping in Braemar when it got to -17C - needless to say we spent a lot of the night sleeping in...

This is probably the best value high spec lead carbon - the only catch is they are out of stock, and wont be in till mid to late January according to Alpha. For me, I am happy to wait till then, as they represent a good compromise...

Certainly a cheap option, although its a lot more, I went for one of these, superbly made (in UK). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MARINE-EXHAUST-SILENCER-MUFFLER-STAINLESS-EBERSPACHER-DIESEL-HEATER-24mm-tube/183642045894?hash=item2ac1eb3dc6:g:QEIAAOSwTmtaGHkO Dave.

Just get agreed value insurance - easy really.

Very useful - many thanks for the link, didnt know the sold prices were available.

Seems like you have to subscribe to price guide (£5.95) a month to see auction results when it was an online auction. Frustrating...

I have an old Sterling 50a b2b, and it works well but when the fans are on, its noisy. Also just helped fit a new Sterling 60a b2b to a friends new Ducato. Both are very easy to wire up but all settings are done via switches and led,s on the front panel (which suits me). UK Factory support is...

See PM for tips - bur look for the easiest (and cheapest) things first. Often too easy to assume its the alternator.

That would be a shame, as I believe 99% of us (often the less vocal ones!) appreciate your experience & expertise (and I say that as a qualified electronic engineer with 40 years of designing systems for military vehicles). Dave.

The ritar batteries are 30mm higher than the banners but look far superior for the £200 (-discount) price tag. Please Let us know how you get on!

Very interesting thread, thanks to all the contributors. I have 2 off 100 Ah Banner batteries, less than a year old, and they dont work as I need them to. I have a 50A B2B which initially charges them at 40Amps but very soon drops to a paltry 12A, so a journey of 2 hours only puts in about 20 %...

Its not the road thats the problem, its either the vehicle or the inexperienced driver, or both. However the weather is turning, with thick snow on the northern summits last week, so icy road patches arent far away. Went over the Drumbeg road yesterday end to end, fantastic road. Plenty of...

I wouldnt want the roads any other way...

Really quite frustrated at people who say the nc500 is too busy, it certainly is...... But if you drive a few miles off the route you are likely to be on your own, especially if you can be bothered to read a map and can drive a sensible vehicle on single track roads. This was taken at first...

Will have a look at the road in a few days time (been over this route many times in last 30 years) after finishing up here working in Kinlochbervie.

At least 2 people on here who own one think so too!

You need to post the before and after shot with ours! Very jealous of the end result, we are still deciding whether to do similar. We need 3 weeks in the highlands to decide..... Was great to have you join us on our 'cl'. D.
