Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Afternoon peeps. Just had a 17 mile bimble. Rather hot and moist now.

And that was only last week.
Stay like that, I am on my way
Enjoyed my 20 miler. For those who know Cheshire I went out to Arley Hall via Appleton Thorn. 90% quiet lanes, lovely.
The ride took me over the M6. South bound was solid, virtually stationary. I understand that some people have no choice but why would anyone choose to sit in a car on a sunny bank holiday.

Yay! We have solar power.
21.9v into the controller.
13.7v out to battery.
This means we will be able to go on a lot more sites, as we can now go off grid.
These type of sites are a lot cheaper - between £4.00 and £8.00 a night - so the system will say for itself over a season. Win win.

Doesn't need direct sun - ordinary daylight will provide enough power for our needs.

No electric used at night?
The solar panel charges a 110aH battery on the van. When fully charged it will independently run the onboard water pump, 12v sockets, charging USBs and 12v LED lighting for approximately 3 days.
The solar panel is used to keep the battery fully charged.
The fridge, cooker and heating would run off propane gas instead of our usual 240v site hook up. The only thing we couldn't use would be the 240v socket outlets and microwave oven, but I could put an inverter into the system to give us 240v if we so wished.
Injected or carbed?
First one I owned I drove it home with the handbrake on.
