Fit an Alde sensor and load monitor

AN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE sensor and a load monitor are well worth fitting.

The latter will be especially useful if you often tour abroad, where the electricity supply can vary a great deal.

Before starting either job, make sure the 230V mains and 12V battery are safely disconnected from your van, and the Alde system is turned off.

Temperature sensor

Tools required for the job are:

■ Screwdriver

■ P-clips

■ Small screws, cable ties

First, find a suitable place to mount the sensor, ideally away from any heat source but close enough for the lead to plug
