Thanks everyone I’m done and dusted cable installed etc! thanks for your help

Hope you’re all having a great catch up. bit of a boring question is there a decent mobile phone Vodafone reception there for Internet would anyone know? just so I can keep on watching my tutorials when I get there!

Aha ! Thank you for this! of course. learning all the time!

So I got a 13.8 power supply and 10 m of the cable. using a calculator I had expected approx .7 V drop with at 7 m I plugged it into the 10 meter line cable and read the volts and it was 13.8 i’m not complaining - it’s nice to have good juice ! But still maybe I was fine with the cheaper option!

Thanks for this Olly. I have to say so far so good with the large bin however I will be keeping my eye on this at the whole time plus I can never stop tinkering So I might just give it a go

Great news Paul - Thanks Im your neighbour T130 and will be arriving late Friday night. Ill leave the camper outside and bring it in Saturday morning. Ill be sure to say hi! Thanks al

need to dbl check

I think this belongs in a different forum section

I reinforced the underside of the decking many times and coach bolted it in. It’s not ideal but it actually works great. when polar aligning I have to stand aside check it and go back and forth and stand aside again so my weight on the decking does not influence the alignment. Plus I control it from inside the house on Wi-Fi which helps They said a non-decoupled pier on a decking would not work but I defied that!

I bought it 2nd hand. It’s great. Can check measurements tonight if you want to know

Yes mine is similar - Its just the contour of the pier I cant have it that neat there will be .5m mains cable and cig socket hanging about. I just wanted to get it as neat as poss -I should stop moaning !
