Hiya, My limited research last year, looking at "Handybob's" website and following Gone with the Wynns, and being offered lithium batteries via one respected German builder but with charging from a different manufacturer that may or may not have suited, resulted in me thinking as and when I...

Thank you again for the replies :) I hadn't heard of a Japanese deep tub before, or actually thought about looking at compact tubs. The nearest Corian "type" supplier mentioned a silly figure starting price so I've left that at that. The couple of resin shower trays I've found locally are the...

Thank you all for the replies. For simplicity and cheapness I was thinking of the four vertical edges being about 300mm high, and a flat piece welded in on a slant (so not square and an odd shape), to fall to one corner. The drain hole could be in the floor, or in the wall. Access under would...

Hi folks I was going to delete this the morning after posting because I just thought I was being daft, it will just have to be two strings to produce 24v into each controller. But I am very glad I didn't, and thank you all for the replies :) The panels are 12v 100W, and I have two...

Hi folks, Our soon to be arriving camper will be having a roof full of eighteen semi flexy solar panels, paired up to give 24v when the feed enters the camper. Does it make any difference how each string of nine will be wired, so if one panel is shaded it won't knock down that whole half's...

Hi Maybe the wrong place, and not mainstream, but thought I'd ask anyway Our new camper has a 1200x900mm bathroom which I need to fit out. It will have a "composting" toilet, so no downward pipework for that. There will be a large dog and our two year old boy, both of which...

Hiya . If I remember correctly, which is a possibility, the hubs fit in the doorway but wheels won't, so studs need tapping out, and driving in on the discs. . This is supposed to be bad. . Having totally flat tyres for a length of time will also be bad. . It's possible there's a thread...

Hiya . The reason we went for a Separett Villa was because it comes with a kids seat :) Still in the box as yet though. Pic in this link- http://www.eco-toilets.co.uk/shop/villa-9000-toilet/

Hi . I seem to remember being told that Eberspacher recommend separating engine from camper as the engine will want to pressurise its system but might not be able to when you add all that extra stuff pipework? . Our last camper had the engine combined with the camper circuit directly and I don't...

Hiya . Ive been told ultra sonic ones aren't very accurate? . Victron do sensors to fit in with their all in one display unit but its silly money. . These were recommended, the monitor can cover four different tanks and it seems cheaper than other similar set ups. ...

Hiya . Just for info, a member here who has a NA spec U500 I believe has said that the 395/85 R20 XZLs as supplied new are the same as any other. Michelin gave permission for the high top speed possible on that specific truck at certain pressures, despite those tyre sidewalls saying 55mph. ...

Hi . Newer vehicles have a Diesel Particulate Filter which may not appreciate the poorer quality diesel you may end up using depending where you hope to go. That can bring you to a stop and can cost quite a bit to either clean out or replace. How big a problem that may be, or not at all, you...

. Hi . Since this thread was just talking about "short" and "long", I thought this was subjective, rather than now being specific as you mention. . Although I'm surprised you use the word "standard" :) L37 seems to be 3750mm sometimes, similar +50mm with L38, and my no L U1700 had the same...

. Hi . U1700/1850/2150 etc were designed to run on 395s and were a factory option, so they aren't oversized. 365s are I think max road going factory fit on smaller Mogs? . Someone at AV told me that as soon as you step up to that size Mog parts become more standard. Smaller Mogs are a bit more...

Hi . Our now sold camper started as a U1300l with a slightly bigger turbo on 14.50R20s but went to an intercooled U1700 at 9.5 tons all from AV. The camper had a cab over so more wind resistance, and on 395 XZL's it could just about maintain 55mph most of the time but 50 was more comfy. 65 no...

Hi . I know Blissmobil do it and it seems a good plan on paper, but I wonder how often their filters need changing? As said, there will be a fair degree of crud in the grey tank, so how many filters are needed for a long trip? (cost and space?) :)

Hi. . The water filter will reduce flow a little, so hot vs cold at the sink might be too imbalanced? . Maybe have hot, cold and a separate drinking tap? . The Espar circuit will get air in it over time, so a bleed point at all high spots makes life a bit easier, and a header tank is supposed to...

Hiya . Personally I don't like dismountables because they look like the back axle is carrying too much weight. I'm not saying they all are, but I would think four people with all their gear may push things too heavy quite easily? I did have a look at a Bimobile for two on a Landy a few years...

Hiya. . If you end up getting insurance as you just arrive off the boat remember (unless it has changed) that if you say three seats they'll charge you as a commercial truck, but they suggested to us that including the seats in the back makes it a five seater and not commercial, so much cheaper...

Hi . I know some have built a 3kg load washer into their camper, I'm hoping to put a 5kg but top loading washing machine in. The drum still goes the same way round as a front loading machine but it has a smaller foot print, clothes go through a door in the side of the drum. . We did buy a very...
