Electrical Replacing blade fuses with circuit breakers

[Herbertclan]

Mrs Dagree has given up coming out when I'm playing around in the van.... She just asks "What have you done to it now?" when I get inside

I like your style @dagree :rockon:

Took a lot of persuasion after two vans, three boats and five fourbie's :barbershop_quartet_member:

mine likes the fun of taking an idea, and turning it into reality
thats why she is my off sider in Mods

I come up with brilliant ideas, if she likes them, I get pushed and shoved until its done
if she hates it or not a great fan - it stays as an idea only

only because I have a bad bad habit of thinking of something, then modifying it in my head, and then thinking more about it then discussing it then modifying it again etc
and they never get done - unless she is pushing and shoving

Hahaha, sounds like a little before my time @mikerezny, but rest assured I grew up when the tv remote was "Max change the channel" , only rich people had air con in their car and the only place that had more than one tv was a tv shop. Don't regret it one little bit either.

hmm, now I have really gone down memory lane: My first job after I left school in grade 10 was working in a small business in Maryborough Qld that made canvas / aluminium awnings for caravans. Anybody remember Chesney caravans?
On a good day, I got to go out to help install them on the caravan. On a bad day I cut nylon guy ropes with a hot wire or cut triangular reinforcing patches out of offcuts of canvas.
The best was that I learnt to drink beer. Took another 20 years to learn that you didn't have to get drunk to enjoy it!

Now I started crying in my pretzels......

Yep, no circuit breakers in those.

or TVs, or radios, or air conditioners, or showers, or toilets, or washing machines, or satellite dishes, or solar panels., or invertors,

I used to fix the sodding things in Karratha in the late 80's early 90's

pull out the front window, fit a 2.5Hp air con, build the window around it again
I was working in a caravan park, and they were the site vans that I had to repair

Ahh the old Chesney.... Spent many years as a kid living in a caravan at a caravan park, saw the odd van or two pass by.

An old Tic Tac box stuck with double sided tape inside the fuse box, it has spare fuses in it so they are right on hand for the job if ever needed...................................................thats in the van in The Ute I haven't got a clue where they are.............................some of the old Dennings I used to drive had circuit breakers fitted, there would be about 75 of them in the switchboard made life so easy when one or 6 blew, on a rainy night you could hear them going off like crickets.
