No narrow boat, no solar, and don’t even live in the U.K., but I do like tech so I watched! What a great mod. I will say after a hot walk, I like a cool shower or a sit in front of a fan. 😉 ❤️🇺🇸

You can really tell Deb is doing better. Your color has returned to your face, and you have a bit of a glow. Great to see. We've been keeping you in our prayers. Great video, and also very handy for RV's We may have to try it with ours.

Think this would do well at my cabin too. Thanks for this update!
Excellent water heater power option! It's just a 12-volt system after all. Why wasn't this developed long ago? I know this vlog was produced two years ago, and I'm behind the times. 🙂Today, it's common practice to install such systems, but still Mark knew what the heck he was doing back then two years ago. I installed this same system on my old 1939 wood power cruiser here in the Pacific Northwest (Puget Sound) back in 2003. Solar has been around for many decades and it's extraordinarily wonderful to see that it is becoming more common.
This is the fist time I've viewed one of your videos, and I have to say, it was a great watch. All explained at a good speed aye without getting over technical. Just what I need! 😁 Thanks 👍

We had a solar panel set up on our old bungalow in North Norfolk. We got paid for having it with the Electric Supplier. We had a special account that this went into. The solar did the same for us, free hot water with a 3kw immersion and a electric aga The separate account we used the money to buy wood for the log burner. This is A Brilliant video for boaters, in houses only a qualified electrician is allowed to do such work. Well Done You 👍🏻
