Alde Outside temperature sensor install in the caravan

- In this video I install the Alde outdoor temperature sensor for the Alde 3010 / 3020 / 3030 heating systems. The install is fairly easy, I made a couple of errors, but no one will know....

Hi Dan, another great instructional video 👍 The only thing i would add is some sort of cable protection where your sensor lead passes through the chassis rail. Maybe a small length of spiral bind or split corrugated cable protection to ensure the lead doesn't start to wear through over time?
Keep up the good work 👍
Like you, i am not convinced how useful this sensor is, but i am up for giving it a go! Please don't stop doing these 'how to' vlogs. You are so good at them, and they give the confidence to tackle things.
Hi Dan,
I don't think anyone is bored of your videos. They inspire us to carry out jobs on the caravan.
Looking forward to the next one and keep up the good work.
Kind regards
Linda and Glenn.
Nice one, always enjoy your videos, we'll thought out and informative. It's not easy crawling under the van.
Hi Dan,
Who cares what anyone else thinks about the sensor. It's relatively very easy to fit, fills an empty connection point on the boiler, fills a control screen data space and gives a smug satisfaction that you know the outside temperature whilst others are just guessing! 😂
Dan your a legend , ive learnt so much from your content and ive installed both temp sensors , also MPPT controller and monitor , ive just finished installation of a truma i net x system integrated with the alde boiler and control panel all linked up using the truma app great bit of kit also fitted the truma gas level indicator and paired that to the truma i net x , not a cheap conversion but well worth it . Maybe something for you to look at doing .
Another great video, please keep them coming Dan, always interesting, and I learn so much from them. Thank you.
Great job and yes these are very interesting series of DIY's. I pedrsonaly use a small weather station with an external bluetooth sensor and my wife tells me when to turn heating up down lol
I guess I'm lucky enough to already have an external temperature sensor, but these type of videos are always an inspiration to install other outdoor things and routing cables etc.
Great vid as normal Dan 🍺🍺could you extend the cable to reach you preferred vent 👍
I must admit I’m temped to do this. I didn’t know this was an option.
The battery backup project for the ALDE was the best so far. It was so annoying to set the parameters for every trip.
Nice simple job. A useful check to have the extra sensor. Thanks.
No problem 👍
Great blog as always x
Hi Dan, thank you very much for a excellent informative vlog. I have always found your vlogs very helpful and inspiring.
never bored dan, everything you post it entertaining, ,enjoyed watching this
Cheers Dan, never thought about outside censor but thanks for your video, always look forward to any of your tips and ideas for caravanning 👍👍.
One bit of kit I always take with me on trips is a thick foam mechanics type of kneel pad which is about 2' x 1' and 4" thick which i bought at a Classic Car show for less than a tenner ....used it for years especially when connecting the 12v caravan electric plug to the car, etc. It's VERY comfy to kneel or lie on gravel , grass, snow , mud , etc. then it just wipes clean.
Re thie sensor I get the outside temperature simply by glancing at my phones home screen but some may also want to fit the sensor.
Thanks for posting.
I use my pads to stop the gas bottles moving when on the road. They are an absolute life saver. Especially when pegging out on hard standing. 👍
Great vid and looks quite achievable for a novice. Also can you show us your new front blinds?
Nice job Dan, thanks 👍👍
We already have a separate indoor/outdoor thermometer with two remote units - one goes in the fridge and one in the awning, but it looks like I have ANOTHER project once things warm up - to go alongside fitting the Thetford fan unit to our toilet.
Still looking forward to your project on remote battery monitoring with a shunt over gsm
Hi Dan. I installed mine last week ! Not sure about the internal one though. We have a Vigo and it looks a bit tricky routing the cable up the wall behind the control panel which is in the same place as yours. What I would like to know though is if I can install a remote operation of the heating from an app. Did you have anything planned? Truma i-net ???
We too have a Vigo and I’d love to be able to remote control the Alde heating too 👍🏻 (currently use the husband 😂)
Hi Dan I know it nothing to do with this video. Which is fine by the way. But a few weeks ago you had a smart battery charger on one of your vlogs.
Can you tell me what model it was
thanks
Hi Dan we've purchased an eight foot caravan, can I ask which towing mirrors you use x
Sure, I have the Grand Aero mirrors, and I purchased the extension arms for them. Here are the affiliate links:
Mirrors : amzn.to/4jFGNRn
Extensions : amzn.to/4hq9j7M
Hope that helps, and I hope you enjoy your new caravan. Exciting times !!!
Good video I thought your connecter was wired wrong way round. Maybe I am losing it… cheers
Hi, it makes absolutely no difference which way it’s wired. The component at the other end is just a thermistor. (Negative temperature coefficient resistor) 👍

That ebay seller is a bargain. I just check the official Bailey parts web site and they wanted £41.99 +p&p! 😮
