What Have You Bought Today?

I'm having another go at the leisure electrics in the camper, replacing my 95Ah AGM battery and CTEK D250SE DC to DC and moving stuff like the mains consumer unit from under the driver's seat and putting it close to the 16A socket behind the right rear wheel arch. As if using the kitchen as a spray shop to paint the badges wasn't enough, yesterday my other half had to sign for and carry in a 25kg Fogstar 230Ah under seat lithium battery as it was delivered a day early. The Renogy 50A C50D DC to DC with MPPT is already here and the cab carpet is on order. I'm looking forward to doing a bit better job of it than when I first started the conversion nearly two years ago.

We do regular Autumn and Spring wildlife bothering trips and the plan is to be able to camp off-grid for several days when then skies are cloudy and the solar is doing nothing. If I can also find a way to get the van solar and battery to provide supplemental power to the house in Summer, or act as a store for the house solar, that would be cool.
 
Bought a 'new removed' front Highline bumper for £250 from Platinum Wave Automotive in a place known locally as Coventry. Very impressed with Seb who looked after me. I had the choice of 3 in Ascot Grey 2 perfect, 1 with a small scratch. I have a beautiful gloss black grille, thanks @Bav , I'm just on the lookout for quality gloss black dogbones now. Seb said get LV ones when they have more stock. Excited about losing the Startline-ness on mine!

'Surus' of Hannibal fame? A heffalump?
 
500w oil filled radiator, got the interior from zero to 7 degrees in about 45 minutes this morning on half settings
@Greenmachine :thumbsup:

I do that once a week at this time of year and if in doubt plug a dehumidifier in there for a few hours as well.
(PS: looking more closely at your photo, is that a Hillside conversion?)
 
Hi all, I've just got back from USR in Newcastle under Lyme and ordered myself a fancy pop up shelf, which he is fitting for me, I mentioned if we could have a deal for forum members, he's offered first 15 orders @ 10%, he has just asked if we could leave some feedback on his Facebook
