Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

I am very pleased with the TV aerial that you recommended. I plugged it into the TV, set it to auto tune and with the aerial standing on the roof and I had 47 channels on offer. A mix of radio TV and Freeview. Scrolled down a few to check the reception was good. Magic. https://i.ibb.co/m589wYb/IMG-0...

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

The satellite dish must be an added windbreak plus you have to remember to take it down before moving off. As I was leaving one race meeting I notice a mobile home behind me with a massive dish still up like a sail. I stopped to flag him down but he was very reluctant to stop and almost ran me down....

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

Thanks Zildjian, That looks just the job, Ill order one of those. I should be able to ease the inner ceiling skin away and put a metal plate under the fiberglass for it to stick to.. Mine might have to have the lead out a side window as my roof light has an electric fan and a fly grill. As you know ...

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

Finally got around to posting a bit more on progress. I fitted larger power cables to the inverter then screwed it to the floor under the front step. I cut out a hole for the end control panel to poke through. A quick test by connecting the TV with an extension cable proved it worked OK My purchase ...

Re: biv box

It's certainly looking the business now. Good work.
Did I notice some fancy legs under wrap in one picture?

Re: biv box

Great to hear you haven't fallen by the wayside.
Biv box and trailer box, well done.
It's good to see you are enjoying the work you have put in. There is something very satisfying about home builds. It's your design, your work and you make it how you want it.
Look forward to more foto's'

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

A bit more testing today. I took a Bush 24 inch TV up to the camper to try. It worked very well, with no problems. I ended up watching a part of "The Flight of the Navigator" which was on a DVD I must have left in it. I'm not sure how long I could run it as the sun was out and although the initial v...

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

The inverter has arrived today :D Its only a cheap one (£82) off ebay and is supposed to be a full sine wave output but at that price I doubt it. I wanted one to run a microwave, (the biggest power draw i will use) so this is 1000w continuous. I intend an 800w microwave. https://i.ibb.co/Hg6XCQC/IMG...

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

Hi all, After quite a long time without a post I have decided to try to get back into the build. I contemplated putting the camper up for sale earlier but have had a change of heart. I would miss it too much. The ability to just load it up and go off for long weekends is a big draw. It also makes a ...

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

At he last meeting at Santapod and the Runaway meeting, I didn't have a problem with the step height. I think I manages to park my rear wheels in a bit of a dip and it was just enough to make it comfortable getting in and out. With that in mind, I turned my attention to the leg fixings. On both fron...
