  1. Completely agree with the above quoted text. I would have refused to pay that exorbitant increase. I would have also stated I would take them to court over such an outrageous increase, without having contacting you first. Ridiculous, to say the least. An "estimate" doesn't go from 90 to over 500 without some sort of communication, they are at fault.

  3. I notice a number of posts regarding using shore power. This caused me to ask, what is the typical cost for shore power, in the UK? Here, the cost of electricity can vary from $.195¢ US, up to $.50¢ US, per kWh.
  4. Concerning power usage of inverters, some people will run two inverters. They will have a larger inverter for heavier loads during the day, and a smaller inverter for the lesser loads at night, or during down time. We do that at our farm, in fact.

  7. In the US, the definition of "boat" is: A hole in the water in which to pour vast amounts of money. You have a similar saying in the UK?
  8. Well, he's the person whom I contacted, when asking for permission to post the article on another forum. He must have some authority, due to being the contact person on the contact page of the site.
  9. David Small. I posted that same article, after having gained written permission from him (David Small) to do so, through the Smart Gauge Website. This was just shy of 5 years ago.
  10. Because, if you visit the page linked above, and then scroll down to "Method 4", you will see that David Small composed the following:
  11. When I was a young man, we inflated split rims to about 25 - 30 psi. If they had not seated by that pressure range, it was time to release all air and start over.
  12. This was the tire and wheel assembly, that flew off the hub, bolts destroyed in the process. Truly, an amazing thing to witness. Anyway, thanks to those for the corrections to my advice.
  13. Well, the nearest I could describe it as, was an explosion. Took it a while, though, until the truck had already become fully engulfed in the flames and heat. Some of the wheels were launched from their hubs like projectiles. Had I not witnessed it, I don't think I would have believed it.
  14. Definitely get him / her to purchase and install, a leak detector.
