Re: Recommended power setup

Hi welcome aboard!

In lots of cases you will find it better to source 12 volt devices rather than plan to use an inverter and mains ones, the reason being that there are losses at each stage of conversion of voltage level. Heating devices are the exemption but again you will find its a lot cheaper ...

The ones I have removed in the past are on the ends of the floor channels to prevent the seats from rolling out but there I was able to use a club hammer to knock the entire pin ...

Re: Help me please identity the leak/seal issue
