Just wondering if anyone on here has a diesel (or gas) burning heater mounted in any other position besides under the bed, e.g. in a cupboard etc. The wife is wanting a heater, but we have grey and fresh water tanks mounted under the floor of the van. Under the bed is ideal, as one has to get to the heater for...

Our Jayco has a top loading washing machine, the outlet hose goes into a 40mm stack pipe, open to the interior of the van. The other end...

With no 240v connected to the van, but all wiring still on the battery, will it harm anything leaving the little solar charger on all the time? Or should I disco...
