If there's that much sun why do you keep paying for EHU to charge your batteries šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
Didn't pay it was included I know that's unusual, I'd rather pay less and not have EHU, I hate it when it's included.
It did give me a chance to play with the Multiplus.

It's there as a back up .. it powers all 240v in the van.. control panel inside the van so no need to go out. And the van has a built in 20L petrol tank for the generator.

Ā£4k worth of kit so I'm quite glad it works.



Get a decent mains lithium charger and itā€™ll charge your batteryā€¦ but then again I donā€™t think youā€™ll ever need toā€¦šŸ˜†

I wonder how much doc is worth now you've got it all up to speck?!?! I reckon more than what it's cost you.
I would think so . But it don't matter as not for sale lol.

It's been a busy couple of months with some very stressful moments. I'm just glad it's all come together and once on the road I can enjoy it.

You are talking my standard of engineering knowledge now, I'm good with a hammer. :ROFLMAO:
I'm good with a lump hammer especially to get a Gaslow cylinder into a locker with an access door that's slightly narrower than the cylinder! :giggle:

Are these people you are visiting working at the campsite?
When we did our campsite helping our visitors werenā€™t charged!
No they live in their camper on the site.

A wee modification to my table lamp so it can be left in place while driving and it works as a handle to lift off the cubby hole lid šŸ˜

So many people look at ours and say words to the effect of " must be difficult to find spaces to park that" and then I watch them try and reverse their PVC into a space and all becomes clear :LOL:

We can usually find a space where we want to stop and we re better off than most because we have so much room inside we don't have to find a place with outside space - or with facilities because one of them can't use the loo while the other is still in bed, or can't wash their hair in the campers shower because there's no room.
Whilst taking up 3-4 spaces on a small aire !
Obviously first come first served but it is exasperating turning up at an aire and capacity has been halved because of monster motors . Some of them even have trailers !
