Yep fried it, hooked up the tin tent ready for the off tomorrow morning, silly me decided to plug in the 12s plug, and switched the switch to car but nothing happened so put it back to van, pulled the outfit forward to straighten it up to set the new mirrors, turned the engine off but decided that I should reverse a little to reconnect the 240 lead to keep the fridge on over night to chill it down, but what is this? ignition on but no dash lights, engine turns but no start, checked all the fuses relays etc, nothing, so if I cannot sort it quickly in the morning looks like will be taking the Mrs motor, but not sure if they will accept a registration change as we have passes with my number on it,

, happy days Rick
