Good point. It sounds as though they want a permanent installation, but only to run off the shore-line hook-up. Caravan and RV suppliers will know about this sort of installation.

You have a lot to learn, grasshopper. As you learn more about boating you (like me) will be dismayed by the degree to which the whole 'safety' thing has run riot in the world of boating what with RCD, RCR and BSS. By was of illustration, if you think the damage that can be done by exploding petrol vapour is trivial and easily avoided by having an IQ well into double figures, consider the damage that can be done by a missing label identifying where the gas isolation valve might be. (Mandatory, before you ask!)

High transient start-up currents can be easily supplied by the national grid when plugged into a shoreline but if the boat is out, err, boating, then a pretty hefty inverter and battery upgrade is likely to be needed. So the OP really needs to clarify if it is for marina use only, or mobile use too.

Its meaningless anyway. My 12 year-old grunty Audi can display instantaneous MPG and if I watch it, the display changes between 2 MPG and 300 MPG depending on how far down I happen to be pressing the accelerator pedal. Less then useless!

This comment cannot be allowed to stand unchallenged. The main hazzard from petrol in a boat is the vapour has broadly similar characteristics to LPG i.e. MUCH heavier than air so flows into the low places and pools, and any ignition source will ignite it leading to a very big BANG.

Surely a new BSS should be done every time the boat is used. After all, who knows what might have gone wrong with iot since you last locked the door and walked away from it? (Just channeling some of the more safety-paranoid posters in here!)

Which is what the OP is asking for. Has anyone here actually done this? You do realise the OP's boat is coal-powered? Cuthound's data is the closest.

Some context would be helpful. Why do you want to know? Why can't you just visit your local waterway and spot them for yourself? A list of where they are for you would just be a list of every CRT waterway.

Well it certainly fits through some of the locks as it is in a pound with no crane pad or any other opportunity to lift it in. Either that or it isn't 74ft at all! My money is on the latter...

Oh I misunmderstood. Its still a bit early for me! I'd say there are so many that you might need to narrow it down a bit. Any particular canal? There are several on the Oxford at Enslow.

You realise the CRT moorings agreements generally state no sheds or anything on the bank? Plenty of examples of this being breeched can be seen if you walk along most mooring sites. Why do you want photos?

The energy requirements are considerable. Fine if you have mains hook-up but for mobile use you'll need to start by designing the power supply, I'd suggest. An inboard diesel generator would be a good starting point. Sorry not to be able to answer your actual question though. I don't know of any firms installing them in boats. Thinking about this a bit more, you're probably best off approaching RV firms as A/C is quite common in vans but not on narrowboat.

it probably fits diagonally in the wide locks on the K&A. Well it must do given where it is!

Could you perhaps PM her via her youtube channel?

Yep, sounds to me as though this bod is inadvertently using the 'long wire' method to keep the A127 from getting too hot! I think he was perhaps just lucky if all three fogstars disconnected, but perhaps disconnection at part load isn't so much of a risk?

Made in the thousands rather than tens of millions.

Which leads onto another way I prefer the imperial system. "Inch" rolls off the tongue so much more easily than "millimetre" and doesn't get confusingly abbreviated.

Which it may well turn out to be. I had a long chat a few weeks ago with the next door moorer about this boat. He reckons it was built by a shipbuilder who knew nothing about narrowboats and got the length wrong so it is probably only really useable as a houseboat. Also told me it was built wholly from 6mm plate - baseplate, hull, cabin, the lot. Its a cracking bit of engineering all around apparently!

Three-way fridges ARE absorption fridges. Three energy sources (gas flame, 12v element, 240v element), same cooling mechanism.

You are however a self-selecting sample! I'd be surprised if any of the millions of people killed by re-wireable fuses posted here to say so.

My fulI-sized Inlander brand 12v compressor fridge draws about 3A when running, which is about 30% of the time. Totally different kettle of fish from three-way fridges thqt work using the absorption principle.

I very much agree it is common courtesy when deleting someone's post for them to be told why, which I know happens sometimes but not in this case, according to the OP. I wasn't clear earlier. I was not calling for Team Mod to explain why they had deleted the post, but rather asking for Team Mod to confirm they have indeed told the OP why their post was deleted. Leaving a new member hanging like that with a post deleted and (apparently) no explanation is not good modding in my opinion.

Well that's disappointing. I feel there is more to this than is apparent from the thread, but it would be nice if a mod could perhaps comment adding their POV. Once you have 10 posts I think you can use the PM system. So keep going!!

All a bit puzzling. If your original post giving more details was removed, I think the moderators will have told you why. What reason did they give for deleting your post? It must have breached one of the posting rules you signed up to when you joined.

Which leads onto the net thing. Why do so many boaters seem to think it is a good thing to attract more boaters onto the canals who can't or won't afford to pay the going rate? And can only do it by dumping their boat on the towpath and abusing the CCing rules?
