Worktop

I'm looking for a new worktop for my camper. The thinnest I can find is 32mm from Wickes.
Any ideas where I can purchase thinner top - I need it before Glastonbury

Re: Awning

definitely pole and clips. I have 3 awnings depending what my outing is and I use pole and clips fro them all.

Re: Inverter switching

Yep, you've all guessed right - plug to plug, I use the same setup when we have power cuts to hook up my generator to the house ring remembering to turn off the main switch. We used it all the time on MoD Exercise :shock: I only have a few mains powered units - 3 way fridge, battery charger & 1 ...

Inverter switching

A quick question for any electrical experts out there. I want to add an inverter to my camper. Can I leave the unit on and switch the supply on or off? Is there an alternative to using a dead man lead to connect this to a wall socket? Any recommendations of a good inverter, I can see lots of dodgy o...

Re: RM123 exhaust on twin slider

Thanks. I have that manual. I want to know if I can bend the pipe. I need to the exhaust to exit the other side of the fridge.

RM123 exhaust on twin slider

I have an old 3 way fridge that I'm trying to run on gas. I know it works but I'm having trouble fitting it into my van. The ideal location for me would be right behind the drivers chair. The downside is I have a twin slider and the exhaust wants to be right where the lock is. How much can I extend ...

Re: Coolant Red Flashing Light

Thanks for the explanation, it makes more sense now. Further tests & maybe fault found. continuity from coolant plug to S terminal is open circuit!! continuity from coolant plug to connector in engine bay black box, 0Ω. Continuity fro connector or coolant plug to connector on back of fuse box (t...

Re: Coolant Red Flashing Light

I am very confused by the circuit used on these things. Would I be right in saying that the actual gauge is controlled by the fixed regulated 10v supply and then the changing resistance of the temperature sensors? This would explain why hot = less resistance = greater needle deflection. What I can't...

Re: Coolant Red Flashing Light

Great test circuit. I would guess that if I jumped G to earth with a 680Ω resistor the light should trigger? As regards jumping the level connector, I did short it out but it makes no difference light on, light off, light on & stays on (by on I mean flashing). Would I be right to think there sho...

Re: Coolant Red Flashing Light

I'll try that tomorrow.

Is there a way to test the relay? If it is the relay where can you get it from?

I'm guessing there was a problem with the flexi-circuit too as after removing gauge it now works.

Re: Coolant Red Flashing Light

In addition to this I have completely taken the dash apart, checked it, removed some broken plastic b...

Re: Coolant Red Flashing Light

Engine is a 19 DG.

Looking again, I have 2 sensors on the thermostat housing. The other one is forward facing, unfortunately I can't get an angle to get a picture.
(I also don't know how to upload pictures here
