£27 postage cost only for THREE complete new upgraded internals for the mppt regulators I bought last year. Excellent customer service from ebay seller in Taiwan (must be making a loss)

Which would that be?

It was a Truma bulkhead one. These seem to fail frequently, caused by rubber hoses apparently, which block the internal filters. Very odd when those from other manufaturers like cleese or gas it dont seem effected by this issue

oh believe me, Im not fitting another truma, purchased a replacement from EBay which will get fitted tomorrow. It seems every time I change van for the last few years I have the same issue. Sods law, I didnt have a spare when it went whilst away.

Stainless hoses are great, but expensive, as I would need to change them all. Got a gaslow system with 2 13k refillable cylinders on the van

Also the truma regulator block has also been reported with steel hoses, the rubber hose bit is only a theory and may be wrong. The problem doesn't seem to occur with other makes of regulator, also even with the Truma one, some (including myself) have used them for years without problem with rubber hoses.

Today bought a waste bin for door fitting and a SD card USB reader. I'm hoping it will read 32Gb cards from my windscreen video camera as my notebook won't read it. It doesn't actually say it will but at £1.55 post free it's worth a try.:Smile:

Truma say their reg filters better than the others thats why it blocks up and if you fit one that does not block up its because it passes the gunk and will cause you problems in the future.I have NO IDEA if this is true.

eyelets

I bought a card of 10 Gelert snap-on plastic eyelets today.
Good though my new Taylormade bike cover is,I'm not keen on the drawstring method of tightening the excess underneath-so,when we get to Marjal I will experiment with extra eyelets and some bunjee cord ::bigsmile:

Did not spend much this week

I purchased off ebay 2 z scale kits.. yes they make very tiny kits of a fire truck and an ambulance .. box van.. could be a Winnebago Aspect .. although an earlier Ford cab.. £5.95 delivered.

But nothing else .. no bargains
