How to thrive on a non 240v site!

A quick question on Safefill.  We have a calorlite fitted at the moment.  Will our regulator fit or do we need something different?

It will fit.  It is same connection (POL) We have a safefill and a Calorlite and use them interchangably

Should you worry about 13v no.  Some chargers will actually overcharge at 15v or so occasionally to desuphate the battery plates. 13v is a surface charge and if you disconnect the battery from the charger it will over a few hours drop to 12.6-12.7 volts.

A comment; don't get to hung up about exact voltages.  If yours settles down at 12.5 volts or 12.8v don't worry about it.  If it is 11v or 17v then obviously worry. 

Re the Alde heating, if you are cold then switch it on that's what it's there for.  Of course like the fridge it will work better on gas than electric.   Going off ehu isn't about roughing it in my book.  

Boff, as Cath is currently without 240v (i believe this is correct), the 13v may be the charge voltage from her solar panel....nice sunny day here.

You could well be correct BB

I have just looked at my controllers manual ( Sunsaver duo). The charging voltage for a flooded battery is 14.4v and 13.7v for the float charge.  

So 13V nothing to worry about.  

Thank you to everyone for their thoughts, I've found it quite fascinating.  The caravan dealer sent out an engineer this lunchtime and 240V has been restored.  

It took him about 7 minutes to dismantle the cover surrounding the PSU and 7 seconds to fix the problem.  In a nutshell there was an orange cable with a white connector that was completely out of the back of the PSU.   

The suspicion is that as the motor mover was fitted after the PDI was done, that the cable had been disturbed or even perhaps removed and not put back in securely.  

Things are looking good for Safefill cylinders. Got this off Safefill Facebook page, they have been very active. Hope the link works, press continue then read page 6 at the end.

Thanks Chris. This is on a different thread but you're right - great times ahead for those of us who have embraced Safefill and are not slaves to the orange umbilical!! 

How true Boff how true. The ALDE pump takes I.2 Amps or something like that. Very small drain. Keep warm and love it!

Well done Cath. Looking at the thread it would appear that everything is working OK and your non EHU adventure is good to go- and your idea about Safefill is extremely sound. I hope you are aware of the excitement surrounding Safefill at the moment. There is a thread ' A milestone is reached' in  Caravan and Motorhome Chat. The one thing that stood out for me is when Boff said non EHU isn't about roughing it! We have just had 3 weeks with 4 adults and two small children and we were very comfortable thank you very much! Safefill and the SP working together looked after us admirably and not an orange cable in sight or on site!!
