Hi Mike, just had another thought on a simple change for when you are off grid. Swapping the light bulbs in the westy interior light saves quite a bit of power. We have two of them and when they were both on it pulled 3.88a swapping to LED versions dropped it to 0.55a Sent from my Pixel 4 using...

There is some usable space left as well. We didn't use ours very often so the compromise was worth it for our use :) Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Or go solar depending on what you use hookup for :) Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

I've been chatting to Mike about fixed panels and sharing some details of my setup and how it works. If there is interest I could pop the details and some pics in a separate thread? Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

I had a ctek when using hookup. They tend to come up at a decent discount on Amazon during black Friday if you're in no rush Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

AHH yeah that would make a difference. Time for a fixed panel? :) Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Looks like you've had some good trips Mike. Do you need the split charge with the solar? I've considered taking mine out as the solar seems to keep the leisure battery topped up well. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Yup later one on the right. Can't comment on the quality of the new backing plates I'm afraid but at least the one you need is readily available [emoji2] Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Have you got the 68 only backing plate on the side that doesn't fit? If so you should be able to swap it to the later style. Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

What size is your leisure battery? The 3.6 is for charging up to about 75ah and maintaining up to 120ah. If you are trying to charge anything over 75ah you might want the mxs 5 or 7 Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Hi, are you able to post/courier it? Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Double post

I had a cable break in the same place about 5 years ago. Replaced it and had a spare in the van ever since, so far the spare has not been called in to action..... Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Our westy has a production date of October 1967. We have two westfalia plaques one on the arch and one on the furniture. Both are stamped 1967 Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

I'm replacing some working 2 prong ones soon, going to 3 as I want to get my warning light working. Happy to post the old ones out when I change them if it's any help? Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

I found this diagram helpful for the connections Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

They seem to have a good reputation, when I had my bus restored o was told that the fit of their panels was really good compare to others Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

I had a spare handle from when I changed to the double ended version so it was a cheap option :) Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
