Well if anyone is interested I’ve just booked in my rv for a new 230v victron electric system and a new webasto heating system with the installation of a new microwave and possibly a new Compressor fridge conversion and possibly a new 230v 6kw lpg generator to complete the system 
The victron system will run a 5kw inverter charged by the solar panels that Adi brilliantly installed with 4 new lithium batteries and a complete overhaul of the internal electrics which will HOPEFULLY simplify the electrics and bring it all up to modern standards.
The webasto system will replace all the Blown air gas heaters and the water tank. This will work by providing full bus heating from the engine, when we’re driving along, and diesel when camped up - the water will heat from the engine when it’s running, or diesel if we have the heating on or it’s got a 700w electric heating element which will run off the inverter
- the water tank will hold hot water for over 24 hours and is super efficient
We’re looking into the fridge to see if it can be converted into a compressor type and I’ll let you know what we find out.
The lpg generator will replace the existing Onan 7500w diesel genny and probably save about a ton in weight. It will also provide power at 230v and will be integrated into the Victron electric system And will auto start according to the set up that’s configured to charge up the batteries should they need to.
This means we’ll have constant hot water, heating which is linked to the diesel tank (much easier to find diesel than lpg - and its about 6 times bigger) - the advantages of lithium batteries and more than enough electric supply to wild camp for months
and full central heating - we even get a heated towel rail - yeah!
And then when this lock down is finally over we’ll head off into the sunset again
If I get any updates Or photos of the installation I’ll Post them
and update stuff as we go if anyone’s interested
Once all this is complete I’m likely to have 2 gas blown air heaters - 1 10gallon water tank - 1 Atwood gas / Elec water heater - 1 1200w 12v to 230v inverter - 1 1500w 12v to 230v inverter and a 7500 w Onan diesel generator
If anyone is in need of any of the above let me know
