Fit an Alde load monitor and outside temperature sensor

IMPORTANT! Electricity is dangerous. Disconnect any mains supply and the 12V battery before you start. Seek the advice of a professional if in doubt*

An outside temperature sensor and a load monitor are well worth fitting. The latter is especially useful if you tour abroad, where the electricity supply can vary a great deal.

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

Tools required for the job are:

Screwdriver

P-clips

Small screws
