Searched high and low for the post showing how to fit an on off switch to the radio, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

There was a similar pst on the T3 group on Facebook, someone posted an idea  that help minimise the problem, it entailed a cable tie on the bottom part of the plastic vent with the tail of the tie turning outside, the water drips down it an kind of diverts the channel of water that comes from the en...

From what I can gather its quite common unfortunately, someone put a post on here which was very helpful.It related to how the radio can cause the parasitic draw and steadily lower your battery reserve charge, they even put a remedy on, this entailed fitting an on/off with to the vehicle battery wir...

The JKF50 compressor fridge (Just Kampers) is said to only draw 0.7 amp per hour after settling down on start up (it takes about 5 amps to start up and get to correct temp then knocks on and off as required) so even if running a little more than a fridge you should get a few days off a lithium batte...

Removed the fuse from the split charger and no detrimental effect found (yet), van battery was about 25% depleted again after  just over a week but its not been run. Not overly sure if I have a problem as I know that naturally a battery's charge will deplete , not sure, but do think something could ...

Changing the coolant  - I know this is quite a tedious job, but I made the mistake of using G11 coolant which needs removing flushing and replenishment every 2 years, whilst the G12++ coolant is every 5 years, so I should have perhaps gone for that in the first place , so in essence mine needs doing...

Many thanks ,its a new lithium battery , works great, with a genius smart charger,will have a go it removing the fuse from the split charger as I am registering no flow from it anyway when running the vehicle. Worth a go to see the result I feel.

Just a quick question regarding this issue as I notice there are multiple posts on vehicle battery drains. (By the way I am not an expert so views gratefully received). I recently tidied up my wiring around my leisure battery and found my split charge relay, it had a fuse within it which had blown s...

Good tip, may try the diluted wallpaper paste idea for now, thanks
 

I have a similar problem that is only minor at the moment, have been thinking on it , would imagine its a big job?

Thanks for that, will research it in terms of cost, I already have a similar Vango (Odyssey),one I used to use when in a tent (its only 760mm wide though), thanks for the idea, like it!

I have a long trip coming up in a few weeks , was wondering, has anyone any good experiences of a type of mattress topper to add a little comfort. Whilst I can cope with the bed arrangement, over the nights on a long stay it can prove a little uncomfortable over a longer period of time. Have had som...

All good information.I spoke with a couple not long ago who had to totally remove their hard top roof due to problems.So remedial work important. It made me look a my gutters and on close up it was manky looking down on ladders, just cleaned it out and going to paint the inside or even run a bead of...

Thanks for the handy tips, once done in that paint I assume you have to stay with that paint , dont thick traditional acrylic paint goes over it , just brainstorming, its quite a big decision I guess.

Thanks the roller idea had made me think, not overly sure about the product at this stage (one video gave  Rust-Oleum CombiColor as a good paint - 2 tins per van - need to think on this as always thought of acrylic spray approach), so will do further research in coming weeks, like the idea though, m...
