Post by bonerp »

Anyone use this? I am wondering whether to fit one for the IVA on my Pilgrim.

Whats the draw? wondering if it will kill my battery....

Well had a note from Chesil Peter says it will fit - needs a rubber. Both are £395 and £11.75 plus vat.

Draw is ok on the standard alternator.

I'm going down this route. Will save the agro of placing hair dryers etc. Will work well with roof too, once that gets fitted.

We've had a couple with them and I'd say they are a very good addition.

IME even a garaged car struggles to clear the breath of two occupants from the screen in the cold, so you end up driving with the windows down. The heated screen does a thoroughly decent job of curing this.

I've got a new Chesil heated front screen in my car and it works very well and very quickly! Their new ones are very thin glass so be careful when fitting! I have had a problem with mine cracking from top to bottom I don't know if its the roof clips (or rivets that hold them on?) or if the top frame is twisted slightly (but that is so flimsy off the car I would think that is the problem?)
