Some of us use laptop computers at home and out and about (TFT by the way :) ) I have just bought a "FreeView" digital TV unit for mine. It cost £40 and gives me about 30 TV channels (plus 20 Radio channels). Plus a little device that sends the sound from the laptop to the main camper soun...

bump and how does it work at cold temps, does it have an enrichment, "choke like" device in the system, mine ticks over very nice from stone cold, but the carbs have countless valves, heaters, chokes, sensors, solanoids etc to get smooth running at all temps and loads... Insatiable curiosi...

Well I have done about 120 miles on my first tank of gas so far. The level indicator is down to 1 green LED, tho Steve tells me the fuel gauge with the toroidal (sp) tank is not very accurate. I hope so in this case, or summat needs adjusting !! Will just let it run out and note millage at that poin...

Bit late, but for future reference, Parafin and Diesel fuel work well as releasing agents.

What is a lion proof blanket? or did you mean loin proof! :shock: Ahh I was waiting for someoine to ask ! It's a big travel rug with a picture of a Tiger on it. When the kids were little, we used to wrap ourselves up in it and the kids had to try and get to us ( a game ya see ) So, they played at b...

I have a lion proof blanket that will be our under blanket.

@ scooterdoc

Best not to use oil or grease on the bolts as they get that hot it will carbonise and likely make it worse than if you hadn't bothered.

I use copperslip allot, but actually I am not sure if that is exhaust heat proof ? - off for a Google on it

Why not put it in this thread for posterity...

Euan said = "Another thing to think about is what happens to unburnt gas that might escape while changing bottles or failing to light the fridge. It's heavier than air and shouldn't be alowed to spread across the floor or collect in a low point." Big deal in narrow boats, (well all boats ...

Just curious...

How is the fuel metering / throttling done on the gas conversion ?

Don't worry, I ain't going to mess, I value my guarantee !!

Just curious...

There's always one spoil sport

Nah - anyway the (12v / fag lighter ) pump I got for my airbed is only the size of a tobacco tin and is very effective and the bag crumples up to nowt

I too wait words of wisdom on this as in the same boat ( err... sorry, camper )

Plus gas all bolts a few times before starting, waiting for it to soak in. Start by slackening each bolt less than a quarter of a turn ( it's called "cracking them" in the trade) whilst the system is still warm, then remove by undoing half a turn and then doing it up again, then a whole tu...

Have you seen those airtight bags that you stuff things like quilts in, then use an airbed pump to suck out all the air ?

I guess a feather quilt would shrink down right small with one of those

(wanders off to fleaBay to check it out... )

Yup I got done ( gassed that is ) - ( errr LPG converted that is ) yesterday. Very good service from Gasure - I was about to start asking some questions when Steve gave me a "walk-through" of the system, that answered all the questions I had planned to ask :) My camper now runs smoother an...
