Re: running fridge off leisure battery

thanks. Fridge and battery was brand new a year ago so that's not the problem. Will try turning it off overnight to make it last the weekend.. Solar panels may be the solution - what would I need?

running fridge off leisure battery

Just wondered how long I can expect my waeco fridge to run off the leisure battery when not on EHU? Imperial Leisure said I should get 48 hours but I have only managed 12-15 hours.

Re: strong winds

using water tank during cold weather

I am rather nervously contemplating my first big bongo trip over Easter and wondering about using the water tank. Will it freeze with the really low overnight temps we've been having? I don't want burst pipes!
Advice greatfully received! :?
