What are you up to this weekend?

Two more solar panels now fitted to the van… Slim 100w ones to fit in gaps so I now have the full desired potential 445w going to 2 x 100 amp lead based batteries. That should keep the compressor fridge happy!

So now have a single 245w and the two 100s.

The EPever duo mppt controller I currently have it’s a bit big and the van doesn’t have a nice concealed area to put it so I’ll be replacing that with a Victron mppt 100/20 Bluetooth controller for the 245 panel and put all the power into the leisure’s and using my old Votronic mppt duo for the two 100s and split between leisure and starter batts.

I’ve also got a Bluetooth victron shunt and monitor so I can keep a much better view on how much power I actually have available.

Today is starting to wire in said new panels in and tidying up the wiring in the electrics cupboard to resemble something a bit more professional than the current rat’s nest! I have a ratchet crimper arriving and I’m getting a couple of busbars as well…

I have a long weekend coming up at Slapton campsite, no EHU so we can try it all out.
 
Just packing up after a weekend at CamperUK site in Lincoln, now heading for Holyhead to spend a couple of weeks on the Emerald Isle

I have this to fit and play with this weekend. - a 12v drain valve so I don't have to scramble underneath or on the floor to empty the grey water. It will fit perfectly in line and in the space available

Just enjoyed a round of golf with my son this afternoon and of course a cold pint in the 19th hole.

To top it off, the sun has shone all afternoon. I mean this is the north east for gods sake so WTF 😂😂😂. Fantastic.

Mind you i played shite but had fun anyway 🥳🥳🥳
 
Mostly coming home from 28 days in France.

Installing 400ah lithium. Upgrading the B2B and 2000watt invertor.
Also try to figure out what the hell they did with the wiring in the first place.
 
Just painted fatty and his daughter.
First time in about 20 years. Both look quite smart now.

Enjoyed a lovely ride out on the bike over the moors to the Scottish border.

then a Few beers in the sun in the garden before going to the local for food, beer and a nice bottle of wine in their beer garden.

Got to make the most of warm sunny weather. As it’s as rare as hens teeth here in the north east. 😳😳
