Not sure but depends where in the pipe it connects I guess.
If very high and entering from the top of the pipe maybe ok????
Mine are just extensions upwards not connected into any other pipe....

Paul, yes, afaik, however I never have and have never had a problem.
There is a fuse between the 12V battery supply and the inverter though.

Thanks Gavin. I was starting to think that it was inadvertently forgotten and left there since I am usually the one taking it down.
:eek:

The old Suuz has extended breathers on diff and gearbox - just extended pipe lengths - never had a problem with this.
Simple & effective.:)

It is now in process of conversion to a house based - non portable, small backup system - so no more alternator charging unless I were to run the vehicle motor and manually connect which I think...

So now again I am going to ask what are probably a couple of stupid questions.
Maybe this will help other elektrickery ignoramuses such as myself in the process.

Is it stainless steel ?
Is it a single leak or along a seem or weld line?
Personally, if still needing longer range, the I would have it fixed.

No, Hester says she does not have it.

OK folk.
Please assist in solving the riddle.
Who has the banner and related items (Poles, ropes, pegs) ?
It was last used at the KZN mini GTG at Mtunzini just before we lost our main man.
I...

Markus has informed me that Hester has the banner.

I have sent Markus a pm to trace its present location .... :)

Great vids showing the different vehicles and their abilities and of course the spectacular scenery. :cool:

Thanks for that.
However due to trees etc. I need to move it around at least three times during daylight to remain in full sun, so ja.
But an excellent idea.

YES, very interested - but at the same time very dependent on SWABO's current situation at that time.

Difficult to make binding medium term bookings or commitment due to this.

As the last time...

Thanks Petri
I am going to continue using the old 12 Amp Midas job for now and when batteries seem to be near fully charged I will put on the small 7 Amp pulse charger to maintain or put out the...

Thank you all for the input on the charges as well - It will save me quite a bit if I can stick with the Midas one that I have (12 Amp with indicator dial).
We will be doing the re-installation...

@ Mark
Where is B'sorah Eden bushcamp ?
For our collective edification and delight.:)

Did you need supports internally or could the canopy carry the RTT (DYNAMIC) load without stress ?

Yes

Yes I did.
They were the two that I have just replaced.

The Howling Moon RTT weighs about 75 Kg standard - that is the 1.4 wide version.
I guess the 1.2 m may be a little less.
The way that you fix it to the cab would be an important consideration...

Thanks Dave - will investigate that.

The base is:

I need a reliable system for the next 3 (or so) years for those limited needs (as of now) and then intend to upgrade later, probably,
If...

"Am thinking of the CTEK MXS - 5 charger .... "maybe" or maybe not.? (I have the 12 V "smart" charger from Midas"

I would really appreciate comments on this device or suggestions of (affordable)...

Thanks for your input. :)

To answer the questions:
1.
I did not know of the product that you mention but then would probably have considered two of them depending on HOW MUCH more expensive.
2....

AND just to add - Try removing old silicone gel.
Good luck with that.
I have it all over my VERY old canopy and above my windscreen and they both leak like a sieve - especially the canopy !
If it...

Eish!
I am going to watch all these videos later ...
Sounds as though you folk had a ball.
Well done on what seems to have been a well organized event.

I have just (yesterday) bought two Probe Extreme Deep Cycle 110 AH lead acid maintenance free at R 2 400 ea.
Linked providing 12 V to my 1 000 W inverter.
Let's see how that goes ....

Yes, I...

OK, thanks all.
I have decided for various reasons, some mentioned above.
I have purchased 2 x 110 AH deep cycle lead acid batteries as replacements.
I will be moving them into my workshop with...

Absolutely the right idea !!!
Moenie dink nie - doen net ! :)

Nice setup for a family.
I am interested to know how you fit all of that into the Jimny and small trailer though?
I have always liked the Jimny although have never owned one but the packing space ?...

Oh YES! Is that the one with the Lamborghini engine in it or the Ferrari.
Oh, no, of course - must be the Tesla version then with the Space X logo on the front in gold ?

Yup - start high and take...

I think that you may be draining your starter battery even faster the due to the inverter losses. (?)

During our travels we had TWO 105 AH batteries linked (For 12 V) with solenoid charging from...

Check your setting on the NL for the battery protection.
However if you are running off the vehicle starter battery I would not take chances.
If you are going to need more than one day not driving...

I think it stays there for the time selected when posting the add.
Otherwise there is an edit menu where you can say "SOLD" for example.
I cannot remember what the other options were - have a...
