I read Cuppa's comments on LiFeP04 batteries with interest, Googling " Technomad" or searching for 12 deep cycle Lithium ion batteries leads to technomad. These people agree that the technology is...

Well folks
We could not find a tropical rated 60 litre fridge. The smallest tropical rated 3 way fridge is too big to fit in our camper. So we have bought a tropical rated 80 litre upright...

Thanks AB,
Replacing the fuse after fixing the wiring did the trick.

Ta Nisshead,
The suggestion of fuse by AB seems at least possible, will try that first

Many thanks AB
I thought that I had checked the fuse, but when I put a multi meter on it it was revealed to be blown. This does not surprise me much as when I first started looking I did not hear...

We recently puchased a camper with a Thetford C200 CS D3 toilet fitted.
I have checked that 12 volt power of the correct polarity reaches the toilet and that pressurised water is at the start of the...

Thanks Waza,
Had not thought of that approach, will try

Hello Cuppa,
I'm relaxed about all sorts of suggestions, one would not go out asking otherwise, so thanks.

Hello Cuppa,
Well lots of reading on friges and camper electrics. As you say much discussion of cpmpressor and 3 way fridges. The smallest tropical rated 3 way fridge is too big to fit in the...

Ta Nisshead,
received that and printed it OK
thanks

Hello Nisshead,
I tried to download the ventillator kit pdf file. The download faild in both Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. Would you try again please.

Ta Threedogs,
The fans sound simple, but I think that the Dometic tropical fan kit includes a temperature sensor on the cooling fins.

Good on you Nisshead,
That is sounding promising, if you can find the install instructions that would be great.

Thanks Stropp,
I had a look at Trailblaza fridges, as they are compressor fridges and are fairly wide I will look a little harder for a 3 way job
Cheers
Muletopia

Thanks Nisshead,
I was unaware of the "tropical fan kit" for these fridges,how much extra space do they take?
I guess that they push air up the back of the fridge so that correct installation with...

The web has many threads , most of which throw more heat than light, on the subject of small camper fridges. There are success and failure stories for both 3 way absorbtion fidges and compressor...

Thanks for your reply Mudrunner, but I am looking for a caloriferer with storage, say 15 litres hot water.

Hello Threedogs,
Have you caught up with the knees of those bees yet? Looking forward to hearing about it.

Granted that for fixed panels, but if camped under a shady tree come summer what are the thoughts on moveable ,fold out panels. These can be put out in the sun and facing the sun, perhaps not...

That sounds like good advice and the way to go

Thanks Cuppa,
Yep, that does seem excessive for showering or washing dishes, could be good for tank filling though. BTW I presume that for your hot water the pipes are insulated. We had a...

Hello Cuppa,
The 12 volt pressure pump you have fitted , is it a centrifugal pump or a diaphram pump.Some sites reccomend the latter as they are self priming and nir self destructing if you empty...

Thanks Cuppa, looked at the web site and at Sigmar Marine's site, have to wait and see what Three dogs mate has done!
As it is going into a Civilian space for tanks and pumps should not be a...

I look forward to hearing about it, the more and more varied information the better. Just the headache of deciding which way to go!

Have done that
