Yes, the 3 years of psyching yourself up to actually drill a hole in the van roof :roflmto:

Not when it comes you doing your van. Do ya think I am daft enough to drill a hole in my own van when I can practice on a German one.

If you have a Burstner you just wire it to the Electroblock. No need for a separate panel, read the charge on the meters on the existing panel. Existing wiring means a trickle charge goes to the starter battery when the habitation battery is charged.

Of course, some people aren't fortunate enough to have a Burstner :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Only those who have seen the light and avoided the custom made "dump le poo Spectacles"... That should take some explaining,,,

Ah well back to following your recipe for Beetroot Cider...

No difficulty in explaining at all.

Are you sitting comfortably dear readers?

Once upon a time an innocent Burstner owner hit a Skype button. Unfortunately the venerable druid of Anglesey had had a Mr Hyde moment and been replaced by the Dreaded Horror of Hinckley. The mind of the Dreaded Horror of Hinckley is a dark and lonely place. I managed to escape only by the skin of my teeth and the fact that he daren't come to Tees-side because of its proximity to Hartlepool. :ROFLMAO:

Very interesting

We have a 2005 Burstner Argos 748.

I just purchased 2 x 200 watt panels, got all the bits too - except the regulator. Do I need one?

Cheers
