Think @jah would also benefit from seeing how you set the position of the heater to allow connection of a takeoff pipe and your snazzy perspex window doofer.

how did you find the experience @GeekOKent ? Im not particularly keen on the stadium lights but other than that I've been waiting for them to appear here.

That's an interesting orientation for an antenna...

I use a 5L tank which is plenty to run our heater on a medium setting for nearly 2 full days

Looks like you guys are having a good time... from the first angle I thought the 300 was a RAV4 until I saw the price 150k euro!!!???

and i shall have the other thank you :)

EF products are certainly very capable. My folks use a Delta Max for peak load shaving and we have a little River Pro for running all the gear in our ground tent. If you don't want to or know how to build a custom system these are a great option. I'm not sure either unit is designed for...

@oneafrikan as nick said your video sounds exactly like mine did when we disconnected the fuel pump and turned the engine over. So I was suggesting it sounds like a lack of fuel problem. if there's fuel in the tank and it's priming it may be the immobilizer which, correct me if I'm wrong, will...

Only time I've heard my 80 make that noise is while turning over with the fuel pump disconnected. You sure diesel is making it to the engine? There's so much water in my cable channels you could keep fish there so I doubt the problem is with your loom.

Group 2 if viable 1.Steve JB 2. Jon w 3. Rosy

yep - that's pretty much it

@Howmanygoes looks great. As nick said I built something similar. A couple of points to consider based on my build: Wrap the exhaust - the heat coming off the short section of pipe inside the box was enough to overheat the unit with the lid on. Wrapping it with some of that exhaust fiberglass...

+1 for an after dark arrival

@Bodie if you've got the kit and all the fixings I'd be happy to give you a hand installing it over the weekend. Should take maybe an hour / 90min depending on how you want to run the intake and exhaust.

@Bodie yep, I drilled the sender on the main tank. Like I said, I had the bits lying around and in my head it was much neater to drill the sender than fitting T pieces and reducers to get the right hose diameter for the blue plastic heater pipe.

@Bodie this is the one I used. Parking Heater Car Fuel Stand... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08PBWPD42?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Most people just tee off the fuel return line, I didn't have the right size hose and did have a spare pickup lying around from my heater-in-a-box build so I installed that in the stock sender. Power wise, I also have leisure battery so it wasn't an issue.

I wouldn't change a thing. It's a tidy little install that kicks out an incredible amount of heat and vents the exhaust well away from anything important. One thing I have left to do is fit a platform above it to prevent accidental damage but I'll get to that over the winter when I rebuild the...

@chapel gate did a write up a while ago on the winter tyres he uses and the difference they make getting up and down his drive. Having been up to his patch I can safely say I wouldn't attempt his drive in anything other than tank tracks so those winter jobbies must be good!

@Mick W Finally!!!

what a fantastic looking spot! Wont be around the weekend of the 4th but I would be keen for the weekend after... will know closer to the date

that makes my blood boil... glad they didn't mange to make off with it. On a side note, that's some pretty poor CCTV footage.. I'd be having a word with whoever configured the settings on that camera/recorder.

This is an excellent idea! How wide/thick is the tray?

My EGT gauge has separate wires for constant live and operational live. The constant live is required to "remember" your settings. That would make sense in this context if the LED needed to remember any settings, possibly the last setting selected via the remote? The schematic is for the gauges...

yep - mine was about 3mm shorter than the rails... nothing a bottle jack and a bit of wood couldn't handle

Hmmm given how low power most of those are and the proximity of your switches to your fuse panel I think you could lose most of those the next time you redesign the layout. Relays are great if youre switching 20A lightbars and 50A compressors. Most of your loads are 3-5A so as long as they're...

Great looking layout, what are you driving with all those relays?

+1 for Westfield - their website makes it easy to pick the right size, pitch and length.

That was a tough post to read. Not much else worth saying except we'll be with you till the end my friend.

yep - from memory theres a little round hump in the middle of the tank which i drilled out. The instructions below describe the procedure for fixing the flange. Once thats in the sender just screws into the flange. I like the wema stuff, well built, the gauges look great and the high resolution...

happy to help - just make sure you get the correct length sender!

Contraption indeed.. I used a Wema S3 sender which takes about 10 min 10 fit using the tank fitting flange. All bits listed below https://wema.co.uk/collections/caravans-mobile-homes/products/fuel-sender https://wema.co.uk/products/hfl-tank-fitting-flange?variant=33164139338...

ill have second dibs if Stu passes please

Sounds like you've had a pretty rough go of it, however it play out with [redacted] I hope you manage to get the tuck sorted.
