That's not bad going. When we wild camp for a night, we took 2, 5 litre water bottles with us. Did'nt use the waterpump, and manually tipped some water down the toilet. No problem with lighting although i only had one on, and others when needed. We watched the dvd player through the cab cigarette lighter socket.

Regarding genny's, i love them. Although i've never had one, but the cost now is bongers. i still cant bring myself to oart with £500 approx for a solar system though. Not reliable enough IMO.

Hi Mark e,
Is the reason you use water bottles because you don't trust your battery or your tank??

No everything works. But i can't be arsed to fill the tank up with water, as i have winterised it allready. And im used to camping in a tent and never had luxeries like i have know. So for the odd 2 nights away ill be doing this routine.

According to George T, my batteries and charghing system is working better than average, with 13 volts holding in my leisure battery and charghing off the running engine at 13.9 volts.

Update;

Been to maplins today, sod the expence, i've bought a 150 watt inverter, for low power equipment, and a 600 watt for the more demanding appliances. 2 mulitimeters for £5.99. Saved £15 on the small one, £30 on the big one and 1 free multimeter. Total savings = £51
