Ah, looking through your pictures I see that you have something different to me.
In the box in front of the fridge I have this thing:

It has a 240V connection and 12V outlets dotted around the trailer, inlcuding one dedicated to the fridge. It appears to have 3 South African 240V outlets on the front, so I guess it has an inverter.
I am also assuming that it has some form of charger for the batteries. I was hoping you had the same so I could compare notes.
I don't really want to have to dismantle it to find out what's what.


i have seen these before but as most SA products you cant find out much about them from the web.

I suspect it is, as you say, a mains with RCD (like the grey one in my trailer) plus a battery charger (i have the CTEK) and a 12v fuse box, all in one. It is a neat arrangement and providing the battery charging system is decent i would keep it and see how it goes. If you have a 240v fridge i would run it from the mains and it will auto switch to 12v when the mains is off.

we had loads of fun in ours this year. perhaps we will see you in yours next.

next modification is to add a wood burning stove!

OK, thanks, much as I thought. I'll see how it goes.

Only just picked it up really, but managed to squeeze a couple of weekends in. Toying with the idea of fitting a Webasto to extend camping season - like Wiggs did on disco3. While I like the woodburning stove idea, I'd have to find somewhere to carry it, and the trailer is already full. The Webasto could fit in the front tool box and use one of the jerry cans as a fuel tank.
