Sam welcome to our forum, as far as I know, you are the first member to join from North America. :clap

The Cali has obviously been designed for the mains power used here in Europe which is 240/230v 50Hz. It sounds like you will need to convert from 110v 60 Hz to 230v to power your Cali. There are step up converters/ transformers, have a look on google. I would try for at least around 10 amps output which is approx 2.5kva but you may get away with 5 amps approx 1.5kva if you are just charging the leisure batteries.

Roughly speaking anything with a motor requires the correct cycles, 50Hz, but light bulbs, absorption fridges, battery charger etc should be ok with a step up transformer.

Finally Brandup do mosquito nets and a brochure can be downloaded from our sponsor SMG,s home page heres the link which may give you some ideas for making your own.

Sorry John but I am the first member from South America apparently. And by the way Mexico is in North America.

Renato welcome as the first from South America :clap

Yes I do know that Mexico is in North America, I was a Airline Pilot in a former life. It was just a typo, but thanks for pointing it out. :crazy
