Given they were "a bit chilly", I would say no!
This is ours, had it 18 months and very happy with it. Lovely van to drive. Based on a Startline so we miss the Air Con (remember the Summer?). Just arranged for a Diesel heater to be fitted so should be able to use for a longer season this year. I have fitted Solar and Victron Battery Monitor and Solar Controller. This years upgrade will likely be a Lithium battery set up. All in all a quality conversion.
Welcome to the Team!
Lovely looking van. You won't regret getting the heater, it transforms winter use!
First long trip on vivanti conversion and leisure battery does s not seam to be getting charged by alternator ,on way up to Arran (fitted a victron shunt) all seemed ok battery was getting 14.8v charge , but on normal driving starter/alternator are only putting out 12v and split charger is not kicking in to charge leisure battery that is on its way down .is this the down side of having a split charger relay . Tried putting lights on and heated screen but alternator stays at 12v. Any advice welcome. Shaun.
