This is what I'm worried about.... Both me and the missus are chunky monkeys... Then with the mid size dog Charlie the springer who loves a bed invasion around 3am.... I'm thinking a 120cm width bed might be a must. Which will sacrifice some cabinetry volume. I'm not sure what to suggest about...

Interesting idea. Thanks

I couldn't find a "Things I have learned, and/or forgotten that I already knew, about my van" thread, so I'll post this lessons learned in here for maximum awareness to the masses. Mods, feel free to move this to the Don't ask me how I know this area if one exists. If you have a THQ/Alpicool...

@lukethompson86 Ok so I think I now know what your 12V distribution board is. Is it a CBE unit with 4 blade fuses? If so then the blade fuses can be selected to protect the size of cable feeding your fridge, lights, usb. However it will have a max rating and (if it is the 4 way CBE unit, that...

Those fridges are thermo electric peltia elements.. and power hungry. Basically the same as I said to you at spring camp, all of the small fridges are this type of tech and it will match any battery pack you've got fairly quickly and a very inefficient. Half of the power goes off in heat out...

...One could build or buy a small cupboard mount hob on top fuel container below, perhaps even mount a battery in the cupboard or and a small fridge. We used one in an ex military Landrover and did not even need a leisure battery to run it. They have outlets in the UK https://wallas.fi/...

3 years ago I bought an Explore More X40 12v/24v fridge. My leisure battery is topped up by solar panels during the day and the fridge ran/runs fine during the day but at night it keeps trying to turn on and turns off again straight away. It repeats this like it isn't getting enough power. It...

With it being free like that I'm rather hoping it isn't one of the the 240v connectors... I fear from the small picture of the wiring harness in the manual it might be though. And it looks like it's one of a bundle of white, yellow and black flexes in a loom - which ties in with the three...

How about the Alpicool 12l? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B9X6VN83 On the downside it's quite a lot of buck for the bang but being compressor it will be more effective and efficient. Potentially has second uses alongside your main fridge either running very lightly to chill drinks or turned...

I’ve got a portable fridge, so for me I’ll be building a “space” that can take the fridge but it won’t be permanently installed. Ours is going to be a daily driver too so ittl be in the kids legs way when the seat is pulled forward, but unfortunately it’s a 12v plug in so not the most...

The ctek has two internal fuses apparently. Can you not charge the battery fully at home then have your weekend away being careful to use as little battery as possible? Fridge compressor will hardly come on in this weather, lights use very little power. Take a portable power bank to charge...

I would never say its worth going into an overdraft for but maybe just wait a month and order a few bits, if your having a fridge you could run conduit to that to save money on the larger cables. but running small cables and a 20mm conduit down each side front to back is pretty inexpensive...

Bags of room there!:thumbsup: Be aware of the currents involved with the various bits of kit and cable sizes required. Under my driver's seat I've got a Renogy DCC50S for the b2b and mppt combined, a small fuse board for the fridge and Webasto, bigger fuses for the battery the inverter (mounted...

Even without power if you pack the fridge with a mixture of chilled / frozen food and resist opening the door unless you need to you’ll have fresh food for 2-3 days. Put a thick towel in the bottom to absorb any condensation.

IMO a grey water tank is a waste of valuable storage space. We usually let the water drain into a collapsible bucket/bowl (or, if appropriate, straight onto the ground). Having said that, we don't have a sink as such - just a drain for the boiling-water tap - so our water wastage is minimal.

So I'm partway through the van conversion having had a u shaped configuration installed. I had a small pod unit fitted and I'm going to be fitting a water tank soon along with an electric combi heater - most likely a Truman combi 4E. I'm also going to parallel wire another Fogstar 100ah battery...

This is something I did when I first set up the van, but once I introduced the diesel heater and a vastly more complicated LED light system it quickly became way beyond the capabilities of the Powerstations 12v DC limits, and the only way forward to make it safe & reliable was to put it through...

If/when I sort a new van, I'm foregoing cooking and storage facilities and getting a full width bed arrangement along the lines of a Ovano or similar. We just want somewhere to sit and sleep. Everything else can be done in the awning and toilet tent. This is based on cost v usage equation. I'd...

No problem doing this. If it's running through a consumer unit in the van the RCD may not work as expected but the MCB should operate under a fault, or the Bluetti will cut out. Either way you should be fine .

I think it's the same everywhere. I have a friend that had an old small fridge freezer that went bang. He only has a small car so had to borrow a van to take it to the tip. He had no idea about permits etc that are now required to take a van. He was turned away and told to apply for a permit and...
