We were hoping to pick up the camper on Friday, after the gas hot water had been fixed. The seller went to fire it up the morning we looked at the van but it wouldn't stay alight. After getting the gas fitter out during the week it now needs parts that hopefully will be fitted on Monday.

This has slowed down the planning and departure a tad, but oh well.

I think so

Picked up a set of 6v 225a/h batteries, one is dead...

The inverter that I have spare is 24v, there goes the power point for the Mrs' CPAP

I got a 12v plug for my CPAP and it seems to use a lot less energy compared with AC. That might just be the inverter overhead though.

The wife has ordered one, thanks

You might wanna check out some portable power stations for that CPAP - they're a lifesaver for vanlife and you can find ones with the right voltage on gearscouts.com that'll give you the best $/Wh value without needing to mess with complicated battery setups.
