Re: Fridge replacement

Many thanks , that's helpful,thanks. I am a little mixed up , I would really need a hook up after mid September to mid May and as I really need some form of heating especially by night and don't trust the propane heater on for long periods before and during bedtimes. So whatever I do in terms of inv...

Re: Fridge replacement

I have a dometic waeco 12v compressor fridge in my westy now, It is an excellent fit in the original fridge space but it is deeper because it doesn't need all the gas gubbins at the back. plus it doesn't need any vents to the outside and I am running it 24/7 on my leisure battery powered by a 100w ...

Re: Fridge replacement

B&Q leisure battery 130 amps for £109 thought that looked quite good that would do 185 hours (over 7 days)?

Re: Fridge replacement

Thanks - yes I think its highly likely I get the JKR50 from just Kampers, I am having a bit of trouble getting a competitively priced solar panel installation because I really like the idea of using the luggage rails on the roof and that is kind of restrictive in terms of space and panel size as wel...

Re: Fridge replacement

On the verge of ordering the Just Kampers JKR50,at 0.7 amps per hour draw, however, just some last minutes thoughts, in a perfect world I would have chosen the 240v/12 v fridges advertised elsewhere purely for the versatility, however, enquiries seem to indicate a 2.5 v per hour draw with these, doe...

Re: Fridge replacement

Thanks Colin , no I am afraid the fridge is a hazard , it was spraying a yellow egg yoke substance all over the fridge, it was well past its best, took the safest route and removed as am using it this weekend, but thanks for the info. Just a thought, whilst everything is out and laid bare, it is an ...

Re: Crisis may be looming?

Well, bad news! The trusty mechanic tells me that my van is not on a good way. It has deterioration on the head gasket will water leaks from various areas, he also tells me that the metal front to back pipes are leaking and need replacing! Best option seems a new engine , new pipes, and likely new e...
