i’ve made my window blinds with foil bubble wrap ( wickes ) , eyelet kit ,window suckers and split rings all off ebay, these work amazingly well can be made to fit any size and shape of window roll up and store easily in a cupboard and they work but best of all they’re CHEAP . make a template from lining paper or wall paper, if the bubble wrap isn’t wide enough just join it using high temp spray adhesive ( don’t use carpet glue it melts in hot weather.window blinds

you should NOT use houshold mains wireing cable for wireing a camper or caravan, the cores in grey house cable are single core and are not flexible , the vibration and movement in a van or camper cause these cores to fracture which causes a hot spot and possible fire risk, also any screw connectors in contact with single core tend to work loose with vibration again causing potential failure and fire risk. you SHOULD use arctic cable this is supple and each core is multi strand it comes in two colours blue or yellow. if its any help i purchased mine from Forest Electrical in mansfield which i fount to be cheaper than ebay and also local to me , i think they do mail order and they are in the phone book.electrics

take a look on you tube “fitting solar panels on a campervan ” its very good to watch and is quite simple if you buy a panel , an mppt solar regulator is basicly all you need to install and charge a battery.i chose an mppt regulator over a pwm as they make more efficient use of solar energy. watch the videos on you tube honestly they explain it all in laymens terms.
