Stopping driving off with the ECU connected

[ROCHESB]

I created my own checklist card and had it laminated by my local Rymans stationery (other retailers are available)

Check lists for me - just in the process of making a few as recently bought a van after being without for 6 years.

What happens if you don’t have one

There's only one numpty to blame

I’ve posted on a couple of threads the plastic tag I made that fitted in the ignition lock and physically prevented you starting the vehicle.
Might be worth PaulandChrissy doing a 3D printed version, with ‘Cable’ or ‘240v’ moulded in?

I always walk around the vehicle at least once before driving off. No gadgets or technology needed.

What i can never understand is, for about £3 in parts, its easily possible to have an alarm go off if you turn the ignition on while the EHU is connected, but manufacturers who build vans for 10's of thousands of pounds cant be bothered to do it.

My Swift has such an alarm

Not a problem for us in our 2011 Autotrail. The only time I started the engine with the EHU still attached there was a loud beeping warning noise. I just thought all motorhomes had something similar but it seems not.
