Ray c, it's at the top of diag page I posted, boxer 3 puma2.2

Keith like these two, what's the difference between them?

Thanks Keith, is there a code reader that is simple to use for someone who doesn't have much knowledge, diag test being charged £125 a go

Hi all, I've had a new fuel valve fitted which is fine, when the garage did the diagnostic check it flagged up loads of other stored faults mainly can bus coms The van runs fine, should I be concerned? My local main dealer suggested if it runs ok leave it alone, with all these faults how can it run correctly? If it's not necessary for the engine running why are they there? Here's the list

Hi, having owned a 2005 built hymer a class from new, meticulously maintained it had mot advisors for rust where you say, it was caught in time to be ground out and resealed by the same garage who did all the servicing The pull down bed will be too short for you to stretch out fully in my opinion We sold ours after 15 good years, but I would not buy another a class because of the screen, cold and hard to keep demisted in bad weather, hot as he'll in the summer, ours was right hand drive but the wipers were left wiping the wrong way for UK, meaning on top corner of drivers side was unwiped, in rain heard to read signage and signals on the road Servicing always cost more because of having a letter box instead of a bonnet Consider these facts for yourself, don't get me wrong the van was built very, very well and suited us while mainly in Europe and wintering in Spain but in damp old Blighty not so good, since brexit we decided to sell and we sadly said goodbye two years ago, now in a pvc and liking the versatility of it and go anywhere ability, and at the magic 6 metres long it goes to the Scottish iles for same price as a car! Good luck with your search

Thanks Colin and Spirou, the installation was done by a dealer, Don't understand why two separate cables come from panel then joined at controller? Yes the epever sends a trickle 1 amp supply to starter battery So leave it alone? Maybe bigger batteries or bigger panel 150 watt? Both hab batteries are under drivers seat so to go bigger would mean going into the bed box, don't really want to, they are less than 12 months old, even so they do seem to loose voltage overnight/ after dark even with no load, we can be fully charged at 14v at dusk and only showing 12.5 v in the morning? We only use 12 volt appliances, led lights, no inverters, water pump biggest demand when showering but during day light hours, Our last van hymer the dt 201 panel showed amp hours you set max value and it monitored it showed you what was used and left, I can't feel confident in seeing volts two volt drop means what in usable amps hours?

UHi, apologies for the slow response been away and talking to roadpro amongst others Firstly my solar panel has two cables coming from it but are connected to the same terminals on the controller why two cables? Secondly the battery type selected is sel 1, according to book is sealed which somebody said should be ok for my AGM batteries Today hot and sunny hab batteries at 14v starter 12.5v What I want is to be able to read AMPS not volts on a separate display like the mt11 but even those selling them can't tell me they will? Apparently epever are notorious for bad inaccurate readings? So should I buy a votronic dual mppt solar controller and swap it over, together with there display meter which will read amps, is there a way of telling what 14 volts would be in amp hours? Fully charged my 2 x 75 amp AGM batteries should give me 150 amp hours to use? Do you think votronic are the best? I've tried to take photos not good light for it What's your thoughts now?

Thanks for your perseverance I have seen the mt11 but no one could tell me that it reads amps I will check setting it's on If there is something better I would prefer to have it, I'm not really bothered about cost What do you think about the splicing into other cables from the Sargent is this acceptable practice? Thanks Brian

Thanks for the reply We have inherited this system when buying the van the dealer had fitted 100watt dual out put panel, I would like a 150watt Epever duotrace mppt controller which I'm sure doesn't have a present to control with my two 75 amp varta AGM batteries, the controller was alarming originally and was told to use another preset but cant remember which, its in such an awkward place with no spare cable to drag it out to see the screen Also they spliced into the original battery cables going from the Sargent charger, instead of going direct Think I need to start again, we are off grid from April to November usually, this last April I was concerned using the blown air heating up in Scotland, I have contacted a few solar fitters but seem to be reluctant to look at it, they all say theirs is the best Who can I trust? I can't fit bigger batteries as both under drivers seat they are less than 12 months old In our Hymer we had single 130 panel with 2 x100 amp lead acid running through the elektroblock and read out on dt panel simples never let us down, now we have English and Chinese s.....! I dont really understand this Bluetooth app stuff just want a screen to look at, seems a lot to ask?

Hi just do a Google search sigma s30 manual it comes up with several options We had s30 on previous van with motion sensors on inside which you could turn off if a dog was left in the van? Could never remember just covered them up when alarm set at night! Also if windy and van rocking a moving curtain would set it off!

Thanks Mike, I am getting confused been looking at votronic and Victron, have epever at the moment but not happy with it Which is the best and which can I read levels in amps, volts mean nothing to me after 15 years with a hymer, I finding it hard to adjust to these other systems Thanks Brian

Hi, does anyone know if the above units can be set to your battery bank max amps and if you can read battery levels and charge rates in AMPS on the remote display Thanks Brian

We had a hymer a class on x244 fiat heavy chassis with the 2.8jtd it actually was a sofim iveco engine, it performed very well, BUT being on the heavy chassis 16 INCH WHEELS being easy to spot it had lower differential ratios to cope with the heavier body so noisey at 70mph as revs up but hills ok, horses for courses really, I believe if the hyper was for use in Germany there was a higher horse power alternative? I discovered this when looking at ecu alternatives?

Visit a diy store for something like used for lawn mowers or such like where you can just put wires in like a 13camp plug, bound to be loads of stuff on their electric shelves

Thank you for your replies, as we don't have the bikes, the tow bar or a suitable rack, I don't think it's worth the expense I may however get a tow bar fitted as we still have our motorbike trailer and Suzuki burgman 400 from our hymer days Thanks again for your thoughts
