Iona gets more Solar Power part 2

The final parts arrived. I did have to wait for the weather to change and we were away for a few days. The mounts were connected to the solar panel and because they were so smooth I did rough them up a bit to make the sikaflex adhesive hold better. The new extension leads arrived …

Iona gets more Solar Power part 1

Iona already has a solar panel and two leisure batteries and to be honest we have never run out on battery power. However with the lack of sun recently we were having to decide what to watch on TV at night and what lights to put on. The TV and the water pump use the …

Refillable gas system fitted

With bottled gas costing between £22-£28 per refill, it was getting quite expensive,  even in the summer we use a bottle every 8 days. The price of autogas is much cheaper at  0.62p per litre compared to £1.90 per litre for the calor gas refills.       We invested in a Gas-it system that …

Preparations for the next Adventure

We have Iona at home and we had a free day so it was time to get all the kit from Matilda transferred to Iona. Sue still has an arm in plaster so her task was to decide where everything should go. There is far more space to choose from, so it will be easier …
