Technical Nordelecttronica NE185-T FUSEBOX

[stewart54]

Hi - can anyone help me source a replacement Nordelecttronica NE185-T fusebox for my Trigano Tribute motorhome. The fusebox went on fire some weeks ago and the garage I am using for the repair work is struggling to source a replacement. If the NE185-T is no longer available can anyone suggest a suitable alternative?

Thanks

Try Appeljack engineering, they repaired my Nordelectric charger for me in 2 days as I was due to go overseas on holiday.
There was an extra charge for the quick repair and delivery but well worth it.
Excellent service and a 2 year guarantee.

Hi Stewart 54,
out of interest how did you get on with solving the problem?

Hi Basa - sorry I have been quiet recently. AandNCaravans were really helpful and supplied me with a new fusebox. I sourced a replacement seat trim via Vospers (slight hiccup as first replacement was for a LHD Ducato! but I eventually got the right piece of trim and had fun cutting out a section to fit the fusebox. Most recent problem has been getting the fusebox fitted and damaged wiring replaced. Phone calls/emails to various people/companies not answered but Emma at car-electrics.com in Plymouth was very helpful and my MH is booked in for next week to have the fusebox fitted as well as having some other electrical work done.

The damaged fusebox has gone to Auto-Trail and then the manufacturer for examination. Under the Enterprise Act I will NOT get a copy of any report but hopefully may receive some info on what caused the fire. If I do I will post info.

Further update - new fusebox partly in place but seems the original one was installed at an angle to avoid coming into contact with the driver's seat metal frame and shorting - a design fault or what? Some form of housing to be devised to prevent any problems. Fusebox is poorly designed and wiring originally installed not really capable of handling the power demands - I wonder what form of certification/testing is carried out or do motorhome manufacturers and their OEMs just hope for the best? Car-electrics.com (excellent service) found that the NE143 battery charger was not working so I sent it off to Apuljack Engineering who have been able to refurbish it and deal with the issues built into the original charger. Excellent service from Apuljack Engineering which kept me fully informed of what was happening. I should get the refurbished unit back on 22 Sept and will then get it re-installed soon and the motorhome will be better than new.
