31/10/22 12v board


Mains looks a bit by wonky!! Must of knocked it !
Wiring needs tidying but it's cold and damp today! I've got some flexible conduit to thread the wiring thru, it's split along the length so easy job once I'm happy that all works. 
But it's all working no fuses blown!
Blue box is Victron Energy MPPT 75/15 running the 100amp solar panel. Small black module next to it is the Bluetooth connector newer ones have built in Bluetooth! This charges the 100 amp standard liesure battery via solar panel. 
LED lighting
Propex Heater 
Along with the new Coolbox when plugged into 12v . 
A week away last month with no mains hook up it all worked fine. Weather was sunny mostly!
So the odd couple of nights away this will cope fine, any longer we'd use hookup anyway, and have a charger. Wife's not keen on free camping! 

The spare live cable ( bottom left) runs from main battery from previous split charge set up. Left it there just in case I'll need to add split charger for smart alternator etc.

17/10/22 LPG board

Fitted the LPG board and fittings to rear NS of van this morning. Only had to undo one fitment! Hopefully won't have to lower it when fitting bed etc. Difficult to judge but room to adjust anyway!
