Hello Robby and Ann have been using a narrow boat for the last 20 years and we sold it in 2019 in 2021 we bought a caravan with an awning and all the bitts, that was a mistake we thought boating was hard work, anyhow it was ok because 18 months later we sold for a profit. Now we need something...

that would be a much simplar way hopefully with the forum i will get it done

is anybody interested ?

evidently a big difference between a caravan and a motorhome and i did not say motorhome here is a couple of photos i fabrecated a bracket and welded it to the ram just keep the piston at the other end i made a pair of theae and fitted them onto a narrowboat and lifted about 10 ton. allso...

E&Eleisure just quoted for a motor home £5995 and he said a £3000 job is for a caravan half the job

i think it was E & P full auto with remote and i am not going to pay that price i want to have a go at my own and i am thinking 2 rams at the front and 1 at the back just push button up and down small 12 volt pump,, 2 stage rams not difficult you can remove the pistons and plate weld the...

4 x 2stage rams 1 reversable 12v pump 1 x 4way valve set and one set of buttons and a little plastic 2 way level i think a may have over simplefied things a bit but i put hydraulic lifters on a narrow boat trailor lifting about 10 ton and it worked a treet, welding plates to the rams was...

hi Hutch my son has just had one fitted and it cost £6000 i am not paying that any way they have made them so complicated with auto up and down all i want 2 buttons for each jack and looking at the parts cost i think i can do it for a lot less with no electronics

hi everyone i am back well i overcame the problem by selling the caravan but now i have bought a motorhome so i have the same problem is back but there is no danger to the battery because i fitted a smart BMS and i can monitor the state of the battery at all times the charge output for...

hi there is a way to recharge you have to bypas the BMS and go straight to pos and neg then the BMS will come back on and you can charge as normal

hi has anyone done a DIY hydraulic levelling system 2 stage rams are the way to go but i don't want an expensive automated system just a manual push button job anybody done anything like that

i started building lithium batteries about a year ago and what a interesting project this has been and to date i have done 10 batteries i got started on Youtube and bought off the shelf modem replacment packs never used 2 years old £1-80 a pack so i bought a 100 packs giving me 400 18650...

Because the charging curve is very flat on lifepo4 cells between 10%and 90% it is not possible for Lead acid battery chargers to see the need to charge because it always looks fully charged, lithium charges need only 14-6 volts cc charge now the BMS will monitor the battery and when the battery...

well i dont know, i have built a lithium battery 120 amph but cant fit it till i get this problem solved and the car will need sorting as well you start these things and it goes a lot futher than you realise so what do we do about charging at a higher voltage any one know ?
