Mine jumped, especially on wet grass, most sites are grass, so I replaced the grit.

Haha not much sun then, but a lovely place to live.

Sounds great, I have bought 160e panel, and two identical 130 ah batteries, so they are identical. I have a pwm and a MPPT from previous van, so will be good to play with. I took off a 90ah battery, that is now on a 30 W solar, in the window which runs my 5w tv only. Really trying to be stand...

Thank you for the help. I had more or less thought a 120 panel, folding one. MPPT, I understand work out the flow well, PCW gives it little kick starts. Great I get that now, but what MPPT IS OK, q 10 amp 20, 30??? We do have a 12 v tv, but rarely use tv, we do that at home too much. All bulbs...

I bought it faded, I gave up on vans and went to a motorhome, but happy to be back in a van. It is perfect condition but stored with everything exposed. We do cover them up, or move them when store it.

This area is a minefield. I need to keep my battery topped up. So a panel is the way forward, I have a brand new 130 battery,, all new LED lights, and a 12v tv. Scenario, camping with no electric for a week, what do I need. I get so lost in MPPT power, thickness of the feed wires. Am I better...

Buy RIT dye from amazon, a liquid dye, you may have to mix 2 colours together. Ignore all instructions, I experimented with lots of upholstery material. A cup of water, and maybe an egg cup of dye. Mix it up. Don’t forget the dye will run down hill, so ensure your cushion is in right position...

It is so so easy, once the rollers are out. I put the rollers on BBQ skewers inside a cardboard box, this enables you to roll them whilst painting, and catches the grit. Now back on the van, and it works perfect.

This is a great result, seats very sun bleached, but now they are like new.

Pigeons are a real problem, mine is parked in the barn. But this year we have some sort of hawk/buzzard in there. No pigeons now thank god.

Just ask, someone will always have an answer, that’s how I found out.

It really was, I wondered if I could actually free the rollers, but 2 bolts and out it popped. Having now done it, I posted for others to state it can be done on the van. But! It must be quite warm, or under cover. You can do it all in stages. New mover £650 New rollers £150 Home re grit £32...

Hi everyone New to forums, not new to caravan towing. Back to a caravan again. Tried motor homes (great until you run out of anything) so back to a caravan. I did not see the state of the rollers until it got wet and the van started to skip on the mover. I decided to look into it. Bought a re...
