Gave it a first wash under my ownership and stuck my Jackery 100w panel on the dash for a bit of SB and LB trickle charging, working well.....
Flirting with the idea of advertising my Shepherds Hut parking and grassed area as an overnight Park4Night type arrangement.

I'm hoping to get away without an inverter. The biggest thing that i should need to power will be my laptop. For this i plan to use one of the 12v 100w chargers. This should be around 10A. I have upgraded to 6mm here, along with the fridge. I have also brought the fuse down to 50A.

Three nights at Waterside camp site, Ullswater. First time the two of us have been away without hookup. 160ah Roamer, 500w solar & an AC180 for kettle & toaster. Roamer is on 89% after 2 nights, currently 100w solar going in & AC180 is on 50%

Need to clean the roof and remove all traces of the bonding adhesive, next step fit a 150W rigid Solar panel over the next couple of weeks
