Steve,
Will indeed start a new thread, somewhere. (Some in this forum tend to be unhappy with Tiger threads.)
Apropos of your electrical posts, here is an interesting thread about the installation of a new C-TEK system into a rather old Tiger van. Lots of pictures and discussion. http://tigerowners.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=218&t=523
Because of where we lived, Europe has always been "fly-over" country for us; something we want to change. Your guide to French Aires is most interesting. We have stopped for lunch in them and found them excellent. Wish we had them in the States.
Won't know until we actually see the beast, but I suspect that our Magnum inverter/charger is 50/60Hz. A lifetime in the Third World has given us a basement full of step down transformers. The Magnum advertises the ability to current limit so as not to blow fuses when plugged into 15A circuits. These folks, friends of ours, use a step down transformer quite successfully: http://www.travelin-tortuga.com/Travelin-Tortuga/Home_Page.html
So our Christmas gift to ourselves is our new Tiger! See you on the road.
