  1. Showers and toilets dock side by the paddlle/hotel boats, Edward Elgar, ust before Llanthony bridge (bascule). Moor in dock or just south Llanthony bridge (either side). Pump out, water, rubbish disposal immediateley south Llanthony bridge (bascule) (on your right)

  3. The only reason to buy an A to B alternator regulator is if your existing alternator is old and does not charge at 14+ volts. It may charge quicker but it will also 'boil' the electrolyte off.
  4. I think it has been mentioned before but remember to check licence requirements for the Avon. http://www.avonnavigationtrust.org/ Your C&RT licence does not cover the Avon. As you are entering one end and leaving the other I beleive (not checked) the minimum licence is seven days, see above link.
  5. almost just drop the last h. Answer is 10 amps, now the length of time you use that 10 amps will be amp.hrs
  6. The Avon will cost £50 for seven days this is the minimum licence you can have as you will enter one end and leave at the other. http://www.avonnavigationtrust.org/index.php?id=10
  7. It may well be that you are not getting 240v ac from the 'combi' inverter because he batteries are discharged If you only have one or more sockets and they were not in use, when cruising (engine running) then the batteries should have charged from the alternator Now you have shoreline then the batteries should be being charged from the 'combi' charger. Paul C is on the correct track, lots of checking ( engine not running, engine running, shoreline connected and On) with a multi-meter to check voltages at different points and possibly amps also.
  8. Christine I think you may be confusing your self, you have what is known as a 'combi' it is an inverter to give you 240v ac from your domestic 12or24v dc batteries, it also has a charger in the same box that will charge your domestic batteries only when on shoreline or a generator is available. To charge your domestic batteries you can either use shoreline or generator via the 'combi' (charger) or run the engine and the alternator will do it. This is not or should not be possible, the inverter may be ON to supply the 240v ac but it will not be charging the batteries the charger does that. Remember the charger only works when on shoreline or generator. Without shoreline or generator then the alternator on the propulsion engine does the charging. If you were using 240v ac whilst cruising the alternator will be supply the 12or24v dc to the inverter and then the 240v ac, If the load is greater than the alternator can supply then your batteries will not be charged, all the alternator power will be going to the inverter to supply the 240vac. I do not know the Sterling but if it has an output for domestic and start battery (charging) you could disconnect the charge wire from the start battery and connect to the domestic battery with the existing charge lead. You may wish to get this confirmed by someone that knows the unit.
  9. Recently bought from Tayna, excellent service and the Trojans are working well. https://www.tayna.co.uk/Trojan-Batteries-S1188-1.html?ordering=&A-8=12&A-7=130 130 amp.hr deep cycle, open wet lead acid and the same physical size as 'standard' leisure batteries.

  11. Taking Alan's figure, which I was about to post, you would need a battery bank of at least 2,800 amp.hrs and a charger of at least 280 amps. Frank (Blazeaway) how are you getting this figure of 100 Kwh's (100,000 wh's)
  12. My suggestion will improve the reception but of course it is costly. My Mi-Fi unit can also be set to receive '4g only', this stops the tendency for the MI-FI to switch to a stronger but slower 3g signal.
  13. or you buy your own Mi-FI that has connections for aerials. examples only; http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B011YZYWEY?psc=1 and one or two of these to go with it. http://www.solwise.co.uk/3g-antenna-outdoor.htm The aerials go outside, (magnetic mount), the cables brought through a mushroom vent and the laptop etc. are connected by wi-fi.
  14. No the grease filter deals with that and the charcoal filter is not required as the smells go outside, Ours has been in nearly seven years and not had to clean the grease filter yet but there again we never cook anything that would make grease, only steam.
  15. Mine is similar to this (make your own cupboard/mounting) and ducted to a mushroom vent (fitted for the specific purpose).
  16. Link to item Montecarlo is on about: http://www.sunshinesolar.co.uk/khxc/gbu0-prodshow/VP3000.html?gclid=CPGM8fK2vcsCFcfgGwodwaQH-w Answer yo Montecarlo, you get what you pay for as for running a washing machine from an inverter, forget it, you wlil not have the space for the batteries or the means to recharge them. 3000 watts on a 12v nominal system via an inverter is a load of 300 amps (allowing for losses) Edit Pearley beat me.
  17. Do it once a month and they will take approximately one sixth to one quarter less.
  18. A wild guess it needs cleaning and servicing. Make and model will help to get advice on how to do it, instructions may also be available via google/you tube.

  20. I saw about 1 amp. the other day... Batteries were fully charged and 'floating'
