Tv voltage drop
(Preview)
The Teac tv drops the battery voltage from 13.3 to 12.4 when switched on at the set, should it drop nearly 1 volt? It has always been connected via 12v socket. Only the tv, vast box etc do not drop the voltage at all when turned on individually.
Thanks for all and any help

Hi everyone, I'm inquiring about the uses for diesel while camping, so far I see cooking, heating and hot water. So far I have only seen a heater and wondered if anyone has modified one to produce hot water as well? and where to get information about cookers. Thanks in advance.

I understand, this is not an easy question and there is no one single answer for this and I'm not looking for one. Also, I'm not looking for 'its a personal choice' answer, because I understand that too. What I'm after is a realistic and 'general' view from you guys that have a long experience with vans. S...
