Why are you all going for mega inverters ? What are you powering???
I have a 50" plasma to run along with a banging sound system

Xbox and TV, apparently theres f*** all to do in the Sahara
Honestly, I don't really know.. Laptop and hard drives to load pics from the GoPro's each night, maybe a travel kettle.. Thats about all I have planned. But if I am getting a second battery for the fridge anyway, I think it's just a useful thing to have for the future.
Get a jetboil, the gas lasts for ages and you have enough water for 2 in a couple of minutes. Great if you go off for a wander.
See Mark - everyone recommends JetBoil's over kettles
Got to wait till payday on Friday, then i'll be buying one
Pikey
Dummy Ejection Facilitator..
Yellowtops are ****e got a dead one in the workshop. they're fine when new but don't lst very long at all. and don't like power surges and spikes from the Alternator. if ya going to fit red or yellow tops then some sort of antisurge diode gizmo between Alt & batteries. would be a sound investment.
I have a Leisure battery in the pikey wagon that's been there 3 years of which the pikeywagon stood empty for nearly 12months with no trickle charger for the battery. and it's still doing it's job.

Wouldn't worry too much. I know a few people who have been running inverters for years and years with no problems at all
Just don't buy dirt cheap Chinese crap!

Looks the same as my 1800w, lasted about 4 years before it gave up. They arent keen on lumps of firewood being thrown at them

Surely you would wire it up with an isolator switch anyway? Or a solenoid and switch on the dash? Well I think I'm going to do both .
How you guys getting on? Me and cartoon head was thinking of a pub meet in the not so distant future (before Wales) to make sure as a team we don't forget anything excited much haha

Yes, i was planning on isolating anyway.
Pub meet sounds good, mentioned that to Cartoonhead ages ago... then failed to do anything about it
getting there with it all, doing a test run down to the New Forest in a few weeks with the missus.
