  5. Yes an easy mistake to make .. I just say ours "is the other one " lol
  6. You are thinking of the "other" Tipton Dave This one has been in the owners care for 30 years
  7. Going down the mains route now for sure , NO solar panel as a) I dont like clutter on my cabin top and b) I really do not need one Decent alternator / battery setup and all will be good for what we need However I will put a 12v computer fan in to aid with air flow .. top idea thank you
  8. Got one already Victron imo is reliable enough , however I do have a spare sterling inverter that I can bung in a box onboard just in case .. your comments Nick echo what I feel
  9. Planning the fit on Tipton and got to thinking of fridges ... I have always previously gone down the shoreline 12 v route and been happy ..but technology and kit changes along with our needs Tip will be built for boating and is not intended to be a long term Liveaboard so I was thinking that a off the shelf household fridge running off the victron inverter whilst not as power frugal as a shoreline is a dammed sight cheaper please convince me why or why not to go down this road ...I am open to all suggestions thanks C
  10. Having not been that way for a number of years where is the best and nearest overnight mooring for the northern end
  11. Give paul redshaw a shout at Braunston
  12. Slightly off topic but slightly relevant ... would a travel power kicking out 3kv be as efficient to feed a victron combi to support the 240 and charge the batts when boating than having a separate 12v alt for battery charging ???

  19. Thanks 10% was my nominal losses calc plus another 3% for cable losses
  20. Thanks j Thank you I couldn’t remember the average .... back to calcs
  21. Brain has filed and cannot retrieve information what the formula steps to convert AC wattage to DC amperage .. I know I have to build a loss factor in for inverter etc. I can do the i = v/r etc but how to transpose 230v ac to 12 v dc brain dead fool I need wine
  22. For information I spoke to the chap again yesterday and he agrees that the best thing to do would be relocate the water heater to the new kitchen area I have assisted him with information only and given advice when I felt was necessary and Wish him good luck with the refit
  23. Thank you to all who posted . a different answer to what I thought, so if he is not a “Liveaboard” and declares himself as such then theoretically he can Like most said however it’s not a good idea on that I agree 100% , I for one wouldn’t want to I will chat to him about this and hopefully change his mind about relocating the water heater as part of the refit Chris
