Got a good giggle from the border collie😂

Here's a little pair of muts we got last week, not specifically for the camper but I expect to bring them on most trips we go on.


google image search upload photo mobile

Not something I bought because there are always dogs needing a loving home and I'm not a fan of dog breeders, especially the ones who sell fancy mongrels.

Our last little girl Maisie passed away suddenly last October on the Friday night of the Carlingford meet, we were supposed to come along on the Saturday. There's been a lot of discussion about another dog since then and somehow we have acquired a cat along the way, who is now hugely confused by the presence of other small furry creatures.

We went to see the sandy coloured girl, Lexi, on Sunday with a view to maybe taking her in a few weeks time, we took her home on the day along with her sister, Oreo.

We're delighted with them. Still a few toilet accidents but we're getting there. We adopted Maisie when she was 4, this pair are as mad as a box of frogs in comparison but it's great craic.

Does that disconnect the battery completely or is there a fine wire that allows the alarm to work

Disconnects completely when you loosen the screw (you don’t have to take it out completely, photo is so you can see how it works), you could always wire an alarm (if you have one 🤔) to the side that is permanently connected to the battery pole (the clamp)

That is a negative terminal, so you are breaking the earth to the vehicle. I imagine if you do that you are going to loose The radio code etc.

you will, of course, I like to know why would you fit one of these in the first place what are you hoping to achieve? if its to stop it being stolen then one of these would do a better job fitted across the main starter lead.

I think thieves would have higher ambitions than going after our Bertha :)

My battery went dead couple of months ago, its parked nose in at side of house to ensure rain falls off back (slight incline), so I couldn't get jump leads to it.
Suspect the radio drained it having been idle for a few weeks, it doesn't completely power off.
Since then I've disconnected battery negative terminal if I know I'm not going to use it for a couple of weeks. This gadget will take a couple of minutes to fit, and I won't need a spanner to connect/disconnect in future.

That gadget is very useful and I use them in all my classic cars. I don’t use it in the Motorhome as it shut down the battery completely.

I fitted one of those to my te20 tractor batt as there is a batt drain somewhere can’t find it but that works great when I remember to disconnect the screw 🤪

Does it get its power from the tv (12v) or do you need a 230v connection.

While it’s not exactly buying it something.... I am actually doing something for it. I’m going on a trip. We both need it. Just for the night. It’s been so hect, I haven’t got away at all this year except to Ferrybank, which doesn’t really count, being so close. So it needs a run, and I need a rest. Have no idea where I’m going, so I can’t get lost😂😂

I have the same one as Darren. 4 canisters in B and M for £5.00. I reckon about 3 hours too, that's in total as I normally run it for 15 -20 minutes at a time. Being butane I had one can that had partially frozen when it was low and it burned at a low heat for a further 3 hours

The little heater should keep us going until I get to look at why the built in heater doesn't work. Might start by looking at the flue 😲

Are you chucking the original battery?. Both batteries should be the same size, age and make (some say they should be from the same manufacturing batch) otherwise one will get most the work and charging while the other will die a premature death.
