    Westy roof cavity?

    Hi all, I've been wondering this for years but only just thought about asking the question, Does anyone know how the cavity between the roof skins at the rear (under the roofrack) was finished from the factory? I just shoved a sheet of insulation in there and blocked the hole with some pipe...

    Powdercoating heat exchangers

    I considered this a while a go to try and rust proof the heat exchangers but decided against it as the heat exchangers are more than likely going to rot from the inside out due to the condensation. However you're doing it for aesthetic reasons bet they'll look a treat! Good luck!

    Rain in rear vents...

    I wouldn't worry about it too much, as above the engine temperature will get rid of most of it. Worry too much and you won't even get it out in the rain, then before you know it your a splitty owner! :lol:

    Low volts cut off relay?

    Hi all, Further to my post a while back, basically my fridge when left on in the bus drains the leisure battery to the point where the alternator won't charge it due to high initial currents. Short of upgrading my split charge setup to 60A plus is there some kind of device that senses when the...

    HELP...Split charge relay has melted the inline fuse holder

    Hi, Yep, the fuse had blown, but just think a build up of heat didn't do it any favours, all my cable etc is rated to 35a so should be fine which is why I don't want to go any higher than 30a fuse. I've had a look and I think a voltage sensing relay may be the answer - supposed to use voltage...

    HELP...Split charge relay has melted the inline fuse holder

    Hi, Thanks for both your replies, Firstly the relay is using the small blue wire off te top of the alternator (integral Regulator) to switch, I was under the impression this was the right one rather than the coil? Secondly - It is supposed to be a proper deep cycle leisure battery therefore I...
