Welcome on board

Yup know where your coming from, went though the same thing.
I may not of added a great increase in value to our van but now it work well for what we want out of it.
Hope motorhoming lives upto and surpasses what you had expected.

Hi Evildoody, Welcome to the Fun. keeping yourself busy. Personally I would put the genny at the bottom of your list and see how you get on before you buy it. Most people with a B2B and a good inverter very rarely, if ever, need a genny.

Thanks for the welcome guys, yeah Jim, the generator is just an option that I MAY fit if and when required.
Tried to tune in a freeview TV today, couldn't get a signal and then I realised there was a digital signal booster fitted to the van, looped the TV antenna into the booster and then to the TV and - still no joy. I took the TV/12V socket off of the wall to inspect and there is no antenna cable fitted to the back. I went up on the roof and there is no TV antenna and nor has there ever been one!!!
More money spent, new roof mount antenna on order sigh!

Hi triple C, yes I am sure motorhoming will be right up my street, I have been camping and caravaning for years, this is just a natural progression
