We’ve had a few wet days over here on the Isle of Wight and I’ve been busy planning a few jobs and upgrades on the van. It’s due a service in a month and there’s a list of stuff I’ve been meaning to do so this was a great time to order what I’ll need ready for our return home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In no particular order, I have a new Solar panel arriving. It’s 135w and will replace the factory installed Swift 40w panel. I have outstanding queries with both Swift (via dealer) and Sargent about the current carrying capacity of the pre-existing solar wiring. It looks ok but if not I’ll need to cable the solar panel directly to the battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I need to add new wires through the roof of the van for solar, I will add a USB cable also for the WiFi extender setup – I may also convert this to 12v so it works off-grid and maybe just tidy up it’s location to be a bit more permanent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve put off adding a fan kit to the Dometic fridge. I think I have all the bits and pieces apart from an electronic thermostat, which I did have but then assigned it to another project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve got an Alde fluid change to carry out; sort out a replacement pump for the Thetford C260 – ours is increasingly dodgy at starting after a period of inactivity; new awning rail corners and finally find a solution so that the TV operates on 12V and can remain setup whilst we travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’d also like to polish the front GRP Panel which has become increasingly dull due I guess to UV damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll add blog posts for each of the tasks as I get round to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
