Thanks phinw.
I haven't measured anything yet but I am placing the battery under the rear seats, not the passenger seat. Think i have more room but still need to keep it relatively low.
Thanks
Steve

Re: Leisure or starter battery
Thanks for the reply.
It will be hooked up to the starter battery so in theory should never discharge fully.
I am fitting it under the rear seats so plenty of room.
Will have a look at the battery you recommend.
Thanks

Re: 12/240v cool box recommendation
We have a 3 way Dometic Combicool RC 1700. Boought 8 years ago and still works very well.
Will go 30 degrees below ambient IIRC.
Fantastic bit of kit. Cold beers on a campsite = happy me!!

Not sure which version i bought off you. Think a 12v ??
Think it might need removing and checking if it spins by hand.
Thanks

Airtop 2000 blows fuses
Afternoon, Hope someone can help. My Airtop 2000 diesel version has now decide to blow fuses. Not the main 25amp near the black control box but my 15 amp fuse near the leisure battery.

Re: RM122 - 3 ways fridge woes
Maybe your gas inside the tubes have crystalised?
Remove the fridge and turn upside down for 24 hours, you will be surprised the difference it makes

Re: Dometic combicool rc 1700
I too have the above fridge, brilliant piece of kit. When I use the fridge on gas, it is always in the connecting part of the awning to camper so plenty of ventilation. I don't think I would use it inside the van although in this weather I assume you would have all the windows open so vented enough?...

If you want to save yourself a lot of time, get yourself a second hand blower motor casing and prepare this beforehand. It took about 3 hours to split the case and replace all foam and rewire for a PDM c...
