Or me.

 

[Roger Donoghue]

Oops! Didn't activate it !

Working now (and tested!)

Will this method of fixing solar panels take the roof above 2m? Many barriers are 2m in France, for instance. I had mine done. Now 2.03m which bars me from many car parks

 

[Roger Donoghue]

Nope. It is still lower than the official awning box.

Hiya Roger, I have emailed your sales email regarding you don’t have an option to post to cumbria and your ordering system won’t let me go any further unless i state a county, the sun does shine this far north

 

[Smm]

Can you show a picture of the internal cable and connection to leisure battery. Please also clarify options that need to be selected for 240 power, ie charging phone or using electric kettle if it’s possible.

Emailed you. Prob in spam. I've added Cumbria ! ( You can also put any county in and it will work )

Hi. I'm away so no pics at the moment. Do you have an ocean or a beach ?

You should charge your phone off usb leads which plug into cigar sockets. Avoid 240v unless you must. You need an inverter for that. Some Cali's have one built in for the front mains socket.

P.s. if anyone has emailed me do check your spam folder for a reply. I always reply promptly but Google have got it in for me and put a lot of my replies in spam folders. I've never spammed a soul but often mentioning discount coupons I think puts me on a suspicious list !

 

[EddieEagle]

Nope. It is still lower than the official awning box.

Forgive me but is the roof not higher than the awning casing in the first place ?

 

[Roger Donoghue]

No. The awning casing is usually higher. The solar panel adds only 14mm at the highest point of the roof , the centre, and on almost all Cali's I've worked on, the awning case was higher.

I have seen some lower mounted awnings mind you.

If I pushed the Cali over 2m I'd have heard about it, and a lot of people ask.

 

[EddieEagle]

Thank you for that, I have always thought that the roof was the highest albeit very marginally.
We learn something every day!

So the benefits you’re keeping the leisure battery topped up if you are stationary without hook up for longer than perhaps 4 days and using fridge, or am I missing something.

So the benefits you’re keeping the leisure battery topped up if you are stationary without hook up for longer than perhaps 4 days and using fridge, or am I missing something.

If you email me (address in my sig below) I'll send you the install instructions - which show all the cabling.

The main benefit of solar is you can camp without hookup. Your batteries are usually good for 3-4 days if in top condition (Ocean, halve that for a Beach) and not heavily used other than regular camping needs. Solar lets you use power with much more flexibility - multiple tablet / phone charging etc, and no need to run the engine for 40 mins here and there. Perfect for festivals too.

It also means you'll never flatten (and then damage) your batteries. On top of this it provides a full maintenance charge so you don't need to plug into an electric hookup occasionally.

Unless, obviously, van is garaged for lengthy periods

@Roger Donoghue Roger, is there enough external cable to allow the panel to be positioned further forward by a foot or so, so as to allow roof bars to be fitted either side of the panel?

 

[Roger Donoghue]

Yes, the curly cord will handle an extra foot and I give plenty of spare length on the flat cable

 

[Wongo]

Roger out at the mo can I order an add on panel & a curly lead?

 

[Roger Donoghue]

Hi Paul, no problem. I'll send you a paypal invoice, less 10%.

Thank you Sir all paid up.

The 'hookup not required brigade' has grown over the weekend. It as to be one of the best addons for Cali.
