What did you do to your van today?

[Exwindsurfer]

Be careful when replacing it, if you have too. My back still gives me little reminders.
Don't forget Alpha Batteries do a great deal

It's not the battery Del it's the glow plugs sorry to say.

 

[Exwindsurfer]

Get yourself an AMT12-2, Jeff, and have all that spare solar keep the Engine Battery topped up! You have the knowledge and skills to fit it yourself, unlike me, whose knowledge stops with the opening of the wallet ...

The time to worry, Jeff, is when the Van's glow plugs are brighter than those between one's earholes; and I'm approaching that point at speed! My former boss used to describe colleagues as being 'as bright as a glow worm's armpit', and I used to laugh. I'm not laughing now!

Recommendation I believe is to get the engine hot before attempting to remove the glow plugs.

Washed the roof , after I brought the van home from storage I looked out the bedroom window & saw my roof was nearly the same green as my grass. Chris.

After 6 weeks of just looking I made it in and out of van ..let's get traveling.

Turned Brunhilde around so that I could reach the base of the roof slope where water gathers, and cleaned the muck and detritus off. Balancing a 5 litre container on top of the stepladder was a bit hairy; managed to wash my jeans and shoes at the same time ...

I have disconected all 3 of my batteries (i.e. van battery and both leisure) and am now subjecting all 3 of them to a deep cycle recycling charge so as to recondition them all, allowing each battery 3 days to have 3 days of the process.

 

[trevskoda]

My onboard numax 10ah charger does this without disconnecting.
