Mobile caravan 12 volt electrician


I am seeking a 12-volt mobile caravan electrician to help me with a couple of 12-volt issues.

Does anyone know of a person in the Logan City region of Brisbane who may be able to help?

I have tried a couple of contacts via Mr google but to no avail.

Even a caravan handyman with this knowledge would work. 

Any contact details for this service in the region mentioned would be much appreciated

Everything appears to be installed correctly.
However the wiring in the kit was not long enough, so I purchased additional wiring which was slightly larger. I used 2 wire joiners.
Now the battery on my multimeter reads 36.4 but no power is going to the control panel.
So what could be the problem?

More info on the battery please. How many? Voltage of them? That battery voltage seems strange. What is the control panel? What is the input voltage to the control panel? How have you determined there is no power going to the control panel? Have you checked fuses etc.?

My first thought was you had 3 12v batteries and connected them in series instead of parallel.

There is plenty of help to be had here provided you respond and provide the information requested.  Photographs also help so if you can lets start off with the battery or batteries and the connections to them.

I have been able to fix the problem.
It appears that all I need to do was replace a bad fuse.

Heater now porking.

Silly old buggar. I never thought to check the fuse.

G'day John, I hope you and Dee are both well.

I blame 'Uncle Al' for silly things like that. He has moved into my place but if I get up in the morning before him, I get through the day problem free.

Keep this to yourself please but,

I remember on one of my many Northern Migrations to visit my daughter and grandkids in Townsville I had a dash cam that plugged into a cig socket that chucked the towel in all of a sudden. I 'couldn't' find the problem and chucked the towel in myself. I checked the dash cam in my daughter's car and all good. In my wisdom, that comes into play a lot, I called an auto electrician, and he came to daughter's place. Within seconds he changed the fuse to cig socket, it had blown. OOOOPS! $90.00 call out fee. Luckily, he didn't charge for the fuse biggrin

Bloody 'Uncle Al' got up first that day. 

 

 

Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

Hi Doug, Dee is struggling with her health, and the old man John is slowing up as he approaches the 86 mark.

Doug all the best and it was our pleasure to have had the opportunity to meet you mate.

Kind Regards
