This was my philosophy when I was a worker. If I was paying someone less to do a job than I was earning at the same time, then that is what I did. Perfect sense, job done and leaves the time you would have spent doing it to enjoy yourself. :)

Can't argue with your experience but surprising that the fridge in your car uses more power than an electric heater. In mine if I turn on the heating GOM drops approx 20%, AC only drops approx 10%.

All this talk of cleaning cars is starting to make me feel queasy.

Very nice to go the custom DIY route if you are competent in that area and have the backup of someone who can help out if and when needed. It would probably be cheaper to do a lot of things yourself if you are capable, I have my own skills but there are many many other things I can't do though...

The bridge was the QE2 bridge so guessing your stay was at the Premier somewhere near Folkestone, heading for the Chunnel, or as they like to call it now the Eurotunnel.

That was my original thought but then I asked myself Why ? We rarely go above 3.6kW load, and even 10kWh is 2 days worth of usage. So what real gain is there for £1500 ? Rarely above 3.6kW. Heating/water is gas. Only 2 of us in the house and most cooking is accomplished with 1 or 2 hobs. Hob...
