The All New, New "What have you done to your Bay today" thread.

That looks ridiculously over complicated , what are the benefits ??

I have no idea.

 

So it's a DC to DC charger. It takes excess alternator current and configures it for the profile of the leisure bank, in this case 160amps of lithium iron phosphate battery.
Takes the place of a split charge relay with a more targeted charge profile and can charge at a rate of 30amps/hour.
It's also a mppt solar charge controller, with the ability to harvest up to 350 watts.
I've just got it set on solar at the moment because it won't replace Chips VSR and standard mppt controller so I'm not wiring it in permanently.
I just wanted to trial run the kit and iron out any issues before it goes into the T3.
However, I'm sure it's intuitive to its designer, but I'm a bit lost at the moment. Lots of multifunction lights and rows giving lots of information.
I don't really want to carry a manual Chris so I'm hoping it'll turn out to be plug and play in dullard mode

 

I think @mikedjames may have had his soldering iron / fingers in the design of that - bonkers !!

I`m more into looking for one green light and an unlit red light that tells me all`s well ...

Bon luck mon ami

 

Mercury Buckets Miss Ure..
I'm actually going to speak to their tech tomorrow and find out if I can turn the bloody lights off tbh @Lasty

 

While you’re at it, tell their “engineer” to go on a User Interface design course

 

Woken up in it, got out to check the ‘awning’ / windbreak are still ok and got back in the camper, it’s certainly fun here with 44 mph gusts of wind

 

I believe the owner/designer/engineer ploughs his own furrow.

 

Looks smart ...never actually had the chance to look round a water cooled T 2 . Are you going to Kieth's field ?

 

You could always rent a room from @davidoft .
I believe his driveway is currently full however..

 

Should be there for Saturday, possibly Friday as well.

 

We’re all good, a bit of wind won’t stop us

 

Checked the oil, tweaked the idle, filled with petrol and drove 160 miles across country to home after a week in Harlech. Ran really well

 

After fiting my new Halfords 4 pin relay for my fuel pump which took the load of my coil, my camper started like a dream for the first time . So I went for a drive to see some friends and have a celebratory pint in a country pub and dove back. Saw a lovely dark green T3 on my way down the A3 and we had a good wave.

 

Lapped it up

 

Snap...


Figured out where to put it.
Months away from actually using it. Guess that gives me time to figure it out. I think it looks more complicated than it actually is.

Have you got enough ventilation to the side of yours? Or are you literally just trying it out?

Totally Pointless

 

Various "long" things now with a couple of coats of Rustoleum enamel. Throttle linkage, vacuum pipe, hard fuel line and the dipstick handle

 

The first two pieces of tin back on the engine, as the shiny new s/s bolts turned up this morning
