Nearly won the battle to get my TomTom to do a live update.
Takes for ever don't it?

You lost me at ethernet port sorry
I know the battery cost 350 quid so it should be pretty high amp hours
I pressed the load button and it came up with 0,4 amp, maybe cause interior lights are on (8 led) and extractor fan
Rest of it I can't understand
May have to buy the best 2500w I can find (more research) and see how it goes
Pick one with a proper UK socket like this one (note I am not saying this is a good one but it has proper sockets) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191296288671
The usual ones have a universal socket and these can be dangerous.
Look ok and feedback excellent
Best prices I've seen as well
I'll investigate, thank you

One TomTom updated, tother being done, (I think)
Got a date to get the noo trailer "serviced".
I put that in speechmarks cos the dealer bloke is as shady as a shady place on a dark night.
And Brian James ain't much better, I will still finish my argument with them, as to dating the sale and therefore the warranty.
I had to threaten the dealer with the VAT man before he would stop going round the houses and blaming some "new computer system" at BJ for any cock up on the paperwork front. He finally dated the receipt/invoice with the day we picked it up and paid rather then the day we ordered it and paid the deposit, 2 and a half months before!
Only getting this done by them at all as anything that needs fixing wil be fixed under the one year full warranty.
Blokey reckons it'll take "3 to 4 hours". To service a TRAILER!!!!????
And no they won't let me watch.
So, total BS merchants.
I'm trying to think of how I can mark it up in ultraviolet pen to see if they actually do anything.

Found out battery is 120 amp hours
Been looking at what inverters are suggested by camper van experts but the ones they suggest don't have good reviews on Amazon
Going with 2000w and the best british one I can afford
I can always run the engine if we need microwave or hair dryer so it doesn't drain the leisure battery

Power in watts = volts x amps.
If running my 1200 watt (230vac 5.2 amp) air dryer oft yer inverter, it would suck about 100amps oot yer battery at 12vdc. Plus any losses in yer inverter cuz they aint 100% efficient.
..that today has been OK-ish.
I still have neck pain and some sharp back of head "twinges" when I do certain head movements, but overall its pretty good.
I tried to do some workshop stuff today but my weldability has deserted me so I gave up.
Her indoors isn't too clever today and is suffering from a bruised foot (NOT where she kicked me, I hasten to add). She turned her foot the other day and it went all dark coloured and bruised/black.
It is a scary thing to realise that you really are becoming fragile and are no longer young enough to shrug the simple things off.
Christ...we will both be 70 in 22 months time.

normally drums off & shoes checked etc but as it’s a new trailer …..
Mark wheel nut locations & Aldo on the heads put numbers you can then tell if the wheel has been removed not just torqued up.
I remember ifor Williams trailer full service was 2hrs but it was on a special made horse box which they had not seen before so they were all on training
