Please Never ever do this.

It is highly unlikely that you will ever reach 60A and even if you did the Epever Tracer is very good at handling the siutuation in that it has an automatic cut-out mode. The Epever will cut-out at 60A and cut back in when below 60A. I basically run the same setup but with a 20A Epever, have had no problems.

I retract my Webasto comments, eventually found one of the fuel connections was clamped onto the pipe flair and was not a good tight connection, rectified that problem and all now seems to be OK.

Another one for Numax batteries. Be interested to see how midland chandlers go forward.

A problem with having a dedicated category for electric propulsion is that all of the generic build info, which will inevitably be included in the threads and discussions, will be missed by those not interested in electric propulsion. A possible simple working solution would be to use EP as the first 2 chars of any appropriste new thread e,g EP Best electric propulsion motors.... EP Battery bank sizeing EP Motor cable sizeing Etc, etc.

Based on the lifeboats I've seen on the canals I would say they appear to be very well suited to saving life's at sea in an emergency. In my opinion they have very little going for them apart from price. If you only want to try one for a year then perhaps as you could possible get the purchase price back when you sell up. So as a 1 year experience it might be a cheapish way of doing it.

Ditto. Works well for me.

Bought a cheap and cheerful Chinese air heater, worked first time and every time. Bought a supposedly newish 2nd hand Webasto thermo top c and havnt managed to get it started once. Swapped out cables, rerun and rerouted fuel lines , checked all connections multiple times etc,etc. I am sure that eventually i will get it to run but a what cost, probably requires a new unit. Overall has been a bad and expensive experience. Just add I read and re-read multiple posts both here and elsewhere, just been a bad buy I guess I now have to decide whether to persist in trying to get it going.

This appears to be the current state of play for bulk space panels https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/03/10/rocket-lab-unveils-space-solar-cell-with-33-3-efficiency/ A good decade ago I did meet someone near Foxton who was working on space solar panel research and at that time they had got them up to 31%. But these, if I recall correctly, were not bulk production units.

Forgot those Here's the link https://www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk/index.php?route=information/contact Although no hard copy catalogue I Also found 12voltplanet very useful https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/knowledge-centre.html

Checking my old spreadsheets I found that I spent more on the wood stains and varnishes than I did on the actual timber. Screws I found the Screwfix Turbogold screws were great quality and fantastic to use, saved a lot of time when used with a power driver.

I used this extensively when fitting out a bare shell. Excellent resource and much appreciated. I'm actually in the process of clearing out my old documents and have come across some old costing and purchasing spreadsheets, it's frightening just how much was spend on the small but important items together with various specialised tools, some of which maybofbonly even used on one job. To this end I found that hard copy Trade catalogues were a great resource.

Had the same problem with fan belts, appears it was down to the design of the larger 110a alternator. My alternator packed in so I sought a replacement, found they were ludicrously expensive but that was only academic as none were available anywhere and the manufacturers (Mexican?) were out of business and nobody wanted to produce copies of that model due I understand to the number of problems with the design. Since swapping it out, approx 5 years ago, to a generic 90a alternator I have not changed the belt once. Previously I was only getting approx 4 - 5 months per belt. On the general point I find the Barrus shire engine to be reliable. Many of the peripheral parts can be found at a lower price from other makers.

That's the way to do it. They do seem to deliberately make the ability to use credit only a bit obscure, once you are aware you don't need to have a goody bag then it's worth persevering.

Another one for Giffgaff, rarely need to use it so use credit which doesn't time out. As stated rates are quite high when they are used but the fact that it doesn't time out or require a contract out ways this for me. I use it on a simple basic phone which I could afford to lose without to much hardship. https://www.giffgaff.com/pay-as-you-go?ggCampaign=PS_G_Brand_Exact_Brand-Pure&gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=Cj0KCQiAubmPBhCyARIsAJWNpiMOYsaqgDvazjzElkdIvS1fnhhb5Fe6ID9y0EuWhPKMuK3C7zqv5LwaAkz4EALw_wcB

And remember that If you intend to liveaboard you will have to fit all of your possessions aboard. Usable space rapidly decreases once you move onboard.

I'm actually going through a similar thought process, installed 55 ltr Surecal, build enclosure around it, 16 years later struggling with access. Like you now considering a smaller calorifier so that access to pipes easier.

Absolutely essential to get the correct profile befor applying Zinga. I chatted to someone a few years ago who's contractor decided to save a few pounds by switching to a cheaper medium without informing them which did not meet the required specification for the Zinga, unfortunately the Zinga did not hold. You can prepare the surface for Zinga repairs with a Tercoo tool, this gives the correct profile and when looked at very closely you can make out the small pits in the surface. Maybe the OP may like to do a video at some point on different preparations for different applications, just a thought for the future. Anyway welcome to the forum.

No the prices I quoted were for the previously pictured Bush and nipple. Just checked back on post, thought you were replying to those quoted prices for nipple and Bush. I take it now that you were referring to the cost of the PRV @ £8 in which case that seems quite reasonable.

Just out of interest I have just removed mine Circa 2005 and it does not have a NRV at that point or elsewhere. The one in the pic looks like mine so may not have an NRV. Not sure if NRV have always been included in Surecals, maybe they were introduced at a later date?

I know, unfortunately appears there is non in stock. I must admit I've been very happy with the Screwfix quality and prices.

Ouch that's a painfull difference in price. Screwfix was £1.29 and £1.34 Inc for Nipple and Bush respectively However I appreciate that when it comes to plumbing it sometimes a question of needs must.
