Blairgowrie Oct 2018

I had the opportunity to talk to school kids about how their social media activity might help or hurt their careers.  I stayed overnight in daisy.  S joined me on Saturday.  The autumn colours were spectacular.

It was a bit chilly so I added warm curtains, fixed the heater and put some insulation in place.

Habitation Wiring

Habitation Wiring Diagram Daisy's habitation wiring is essentially four largely separate circuits. The simplest is a transformer located on the bulkhead behind the battery and connected to the hook-up 240v. Charge is supplied to the battery via a diode which ensures there is no loss of charge across the transformer when the hook up supply is not connected. The transformer has its own built-in fuse. The second circuit comprises a lead from the vehicle ignition (A14) which closes a relay (R1) to complete a circuit between the vehicle and leisure battery when the ignition is on. This lets the alternator charge the leisure battery when in motion. More modern vehicles have technology to reduce the alternator current if the vehicle battery is fully charged so that fuel is saved. This then needs a more sophisticated circuit. Daisy does not need this complexity. Diode D1 has been added because otherwise the starter motor circuit takes power from both batteries. This can be...

Removing the fridge, heater and hob. Notes for next time!

Removing stuff I took out a few things to find a water leak.  These are my notes. To remove the hob: Gas off Remove drawer under hob Loosen four corner screws holding the hob in place.  Use a minature socket set. Push the retainers away from the work surface. Unscrew the hex nut at the back of the hob where the gas comes in. Lift out the hob To remove the sink Remove the hob. Remove the screw in the sink waste.

Undo the bolt holding the earth strap in place. To remove the fridge Remove the sink. Remove the knobs Remove the two screws holding the facia in place Run a knife around the fridge to remove sealant. On the sink side of the fridge there are two screws near the vertical shelf.  You removed the sink to get access to these.  Remove them...
