    Diesel Prices France

    Gob smacked at the price of Gasoil in France. I fill Demi at the ASDA, near Newhaven @ £1.51 ( euro 1.77). The price I've seen today are around euro 1.91. Might be worth your while leaving the UK with full tanks.

    Ctek + Smartpass = solar

    According to the manual, the Ctek will handle 300 w of solar input. If I was to fit a 360 w panel. Would this exceed the Ctek. Bearing in mind that, the 360w* panel would only produce anything like 360w in perfect laboratory conditions,and those conditions would not be found on the roof of a...

    Diesel heater.powering

    As discussed elsewhere, I’d like to put the heater under the drivers seat. If this is possible, and it looks like it will. It would be about 5 mts,from the leisure batteries. But only a metre from the vehicle battery. Bearing in mind I have a Ctek and Smartpass fitted, could I connect the...

    Tilting solar panels.

    ‘Tis finished. Well almost. Was going to fit gas struts, but not at £165 I’m not. So...... looks like rigid supports. Possibly 18mm box or angle mild steel. Anyone wish to suggest panel angles. If 90o was vertical, I reckoned 70o, 45o, and 30o. What say you.

    Thetford 3 way fridge.

    Looking on the Self Build forum, at Wildebus's Autotrail tweaker. I was gob smacked at the amount of power he say's a Thetford 3 way uses on 240v. Now I know where my battery power goes. 240w? I would never doubt Dave for a minute. Someone tell me this isn't a typo?

    Little things that cheer me up.

    In the local villages, the Coop use little 6 wheel robots for home deliveries. At first glance the look like a scaled down T2 VW. While out for an afternoon walk, one was coming towards me. To my left, was a border collie, hunkered down, obviously ready to “round up” the white robot sheep. Made...

    Diesel heater fuel

    I’ve discussed this with another member, but I’d like to have as many views as possible. Fiat Ducato 2007 Diesel heater fuelling direct from the vehicle fuel tank. 1,Separate stand pipe into the tank. 2, Tee into the main fuel line. Fuelling from the vans own fuel tank is the only option I’m...

    Buy your van

    Got to be extra careful here. I've been in trouble with management before, writing about itinerant,thieving towrags. Locally we are experiencing a spate of thefts. It starts with either a note on the windscreen, or sometimes a knock on the door. A swarthy gentleman, whose accent would be...

    Vaccine

    It's annoying to hear people saying they don't believe in the Covid vaccine because they're not sure whats in it. I have complete trust in it because it's made by Pfizer - the same company who makes Viagra. If they can raise the dead, I'm quite sure they can save the living. Not a Trotter...

    eBay. Off line?

    Seeing some odd screens on eBay. On iPad I’m seeing an overprint of another message instead of buy now. On android, a simplified text. Anyone having similar problems? I’ll wait another day or two before buying.

    Bike rack mods

    On the rear o/s door of my Fiat Ducato PCV motorhome. From now on known as Demi. I have a Fiamma bike rack. During one of this weeks torrential down pours, I noticed a damp area on the fixed bed. Off side, same side as the bike rack. The bike was on the rack. I'm wondering if the weight of the...

    Free Awning

    Don't know if this is the correct forum heading to put this, and TBH, I'm not sure I care. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will take the trouble to put it right. Between us, Marie and I have an awning. I have the poles and main canvas, Marie has the remainder. I'll take my bits to Henley, if...

    Hitch Hotel. Youtube

    Just watched this on Youtube. I've no idea how to make a link, although I'm sure someone will on my behalf. An Aluminium and fibreglass box with drawer like slideouts. Looks a bit precarious on the back of a 4x4. A simple, although, clever idea. A bit more R&D required.

    Up grade to rear view camera.

    The rear view camera on Demi came with the van. Neither the camera nor the screen is up to much. Looking to upgrade. A wifi system looks the easiest to fit, but from what I've read, they're about as much use as a chocolate fire guard. I am hoping that the existing wiring could be use to fit...
