Nowhere near any canals but the River Torridge was still running out under Bideford Bridge over 2 hours after the tide was supposed to have turned just shows how much fresh is coming down.

The only thing that I would use blade fuses for is feeds to battery monitoring equipment and the like.

Many years ago I really wanted this boat, way to late now😟 90

I used to use one like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314586084755? Plugged into a USB socket halfway down the boat. It was only 2.4ghz but worked well enough although that one appears to be 2.4ghz and 5ghz.

Worked fine on Smarty (3) but I've had to migrate to EE as the tablet is locked to EE and their unlock code doesn't work.😟 It works fine on EE as well, I have a spare EE SIM with 20gb left on and I'm using about 0.1gb a day even with extensive testing so that will last a while😉

If you did remote monitoring then when you are hanging out in the far east you could see that your charger has failed and your LA batteries had discharged past the resuscitation point 🤪

As an update to this I have ditched the phone as it wasn't allowing a restart of TeamViewer Host without manual intervention and got an old Huawei T3 7" tablet with a SIM slot to replace the phone. It now doesn't need local input after a restart. TeamViewer Host now runs after a reboot using Start Up I have also enabled location sharing on the caravan account so I get location info on my phone. 🤔

You went out at midnight?🤔

We decided to fit one like this When we re did our house. No ash, no mess, no storing and drying of logs. As it happens we rarely use it as reaching for the remote control is sooo hard🤔

Exactly this,

I have done the opposite and just use the stat to control the house temperature. 17deg overnight 18deg daytime and 19deg evening. I also turned down the flow temperature from 75 to 55, so I don't get overshoot peaks. Result is house is just as warm and I've managed a 25% saving on my monthly gas bill. This is all to see how suitable my system will be for an ASHP Just to add the stat is in the hall which is a cold part of the house and although it's 19deg there it's 21.3deg in the sitting room.

I have this vision of the water tank being full of them possibly a breeding colony, as after all it's filled from the same tap 😱 You would never know as the pump filter would stop them reaching the tap 😉

Real world energy figures 3 bed detached house 2022 Electricity Import 1009kWh Export 2703kWh Gas 13228kWh 2023 Electricity Import 1051kWh Export 2624kWh Gas 12278kWh energy consumed 2022: 11534kWh 2023: 10705kWh 2024 gas consumption should be less than 2023 so far its looking that way.

Hopefully those downwind of you enjoy breathing particulates😱 it's as bad as the exhaust from a diesel car.
