  1. I had a look at the Charity Commission's website and found this: Charitable objects THE OBJECT OF THE CIO IS: TO ADVANCE EDUCATION IN THE ARTS FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN PARTICULAR BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY BY PROVIDING AND ASSISTING IN THE PROVISION OF REGULAR CLASSICAL MUSIC CONCERTS, TALKS AND MASTERCLASSES ON AND AROUND ENGLAND’S CANAL NETWORK USING A CANAL BOAT AS THE VENUE. https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/-/charity-details/5146744 I could be wrong, but this does seem to me to be reminiscent of a former U-boat museum
  2. I did have an idea that boat-specific cookers would be pricey, and I am a bit of a tightwad, so any suggestions for standard ones that will do the job would be appreciated
  3. I recall that the oven I used to have at home wouldn't come on unless the timer was set, so I suspect there could be quite a few silly little niggles, in addition to the serious concerns Mike raised. That's part of the reason I think it'll be best to get something designedto work on a boat.
  4. Thanks, LadyG. I don't have transport, though, so I need something I can collect from reasonably near the canal.
  5. Thanks, Mike. It sounds as if it could lead to too many complications, so I'll have to think about getting one specifically designed for boat use.
  6. I was just about to pop to B&Q to get myself a gas cooker when I decided to check online to make sure it was compatible with bottled gas. What I found in the manual was a very blunt statement that it is not sutable for installation in any kind of boat, anywhere, including on inland waterways, although it can be used in a static caravan. It did occur to me that, because it needs a 240V mains supply, some features won't work. That probably means the clock, timer, electric igniter etc., but I can live without things like that. But does that mean that the oven and hob won't work too? In short, what I'm asking is whether a standard household gas cooker (assuming it can use bottled gas) can be used on a boat or whether ther is something fundamental that makes them completely incompatible with use on a boat.
  7. Seems this was a win for the NBTA linky

  9. That's really helpful, thanks!! Are there any rules for connecting the new one, then? Such as only connecting it at night, or connecting the display before the panel?
  10. I checked the connection. The two LEDs flashed brightly and brielfy as I reconnected the cable. Neither LED stayed on. Normally the green LED stays on.
  11. I have a Tracer 2210 MPPT controller with an MT-5 remote display. I unplugged the MT-5 to reroute the cable, and reconnected it shortly after. Ever since, the display has been kaput. Every icon on the screen is visible, and none of the buttons does anything. The battery voltage is around 13.7V (depending where I measure it there are some silly voltage drops), which suggests the controller itself is still doing its stuff. Beyond that, I'm at a bit of a loss regarding fault finding. It could be the MT-5, the cable or the controller interface gone. Any ideas?
