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.



I know it looks a bit untidy in there but I have a lot going on at the minute.

The picture of the inverter shows not the neatest job but as with most of it ------ Work in progress.

I was trying to prepare things for both a long weekend at Santapod and the annual runaway outing later in June.
Both of these have had to be cancelled this year due to impending hospitalization.
With any luck, give me 6 weeks and I hope to be up and running again.

Everything else has had to take a back seat.

Aerial;
I know, wish I'd realised they were available earlier, could have saved myself time and effort as well

Thanks for the help Zildjian, as you can see i'm in at least.

Now to check back to see where I have got to.
Now that my health issues seem to be under control I hope to get back working on all the jobs that have been put off for too long.
At least the Chinese diesel heater is still working fine meaning all the inside jobs can be done regardless of the weather.
I did try the TV and aerial out the other day and couldn't get a signal at all.That's definitely one for the to do list. It could have been caused by my CB aerial blocking the signal?
Another inside job, well a maybe job. Considering taking out the 2 x 110 amp/hr batteries and replacing them with 1 off 100 amp/hr Li-po battery. It would give me a weight saving: 2 x 26 kg against 14 kg. An immediate saving of 42 Kg which would be welcome as I can get near to max back axle limit unless I load some things in the cab to spread the load.
The only downside I can see is I made the camper to be mainly rot proof, aluminium, fibreglass and PVC sheets. With the celotex insulation it would burn well. If a Li-PO battery decided to go up in flames there isn't a fire extinguisher in the world that would put it out.
More as it comes to me.

Email all done too now.

I had a small Lipo battery (head set) catch on fire last year while on charge here in living room,
small enough to scoop up and throw outside it took the headset for drone with it, fortunately the direction of mini-jet engine flame only dirtied paint on wall and cleaned off but looking at the many youtube clips of scooters etc bursting into flames I think I got off light.

They are always supervised and/or outside on an extension lead charging now, and I always drag those discarded scooters away from my property as they get abandoned

One of my mates as a radio controlled land rover. The Lipo battery for it comes with bomb proof carry bag and a recommendation to charge outdoors??

I might not have been doing much outside on the camper modifications but I did find time while being confined to barracks to make a mini-bar. It was a surplus 5 gallon can t start with.

I am able to carry it to the picknick area or more often, the spectator bank when I go drag racing. The little Marshall amp can connect to either my small radio or the Mp3 plyer with over the ear headphones connected through the filler cap. The small thermos flask is for the ice. Thee is even room for a couple of bags of crisps.



It just needs anchor points on the side wall to complete it.

CHEERS for now.

Very neat looking mini bar.
Customs and Exercise would get a surprise if they tried to dip it.
