Day 32

There's still plenty of little things to do to improve Yemmy2.
The 'Engine Room'.


Today for instance I moved the inverter from on top of the battery in the 'Engine Room' to inside behind the fridge. This means I no longer have to go outside on a dark wet night to turn it on or off.









New convenient location


 It's a 600watt modified sine wave inverter and a bit noisy - I may have to swap it for a pure sine wave one now they have come down so much in price






Today was very peaceful after all the carrying-on yesterday. I can't believe Murphy could have engineered so many things to go wrong at the same time!

It's been cloudy most of the day so I've been sparing in my use of power although a short run of the engine will soon boost the house battery.

  1. To do list:
    Learn how to drive the new GPS.
    Purchase new pure sine wave inverter.
    Ensure new inverter has a remote on/off switch.
    Install new inverter back in original location.
    New inverter installed with shortest, thickest wiring possible.
    Purchase small powerboard with inbuilt circuit breaker and safety RCD switch.
    ONLY use 240v power from inverter, via the safety of the power board.
    Remember that the safety power board can also be used with other sources of 240v power also.
    Steer well clear of killer tow bars.
    SAFE travels !
