Re: Flexible fridge exhaust pipe

So I take it your allowed to use flexi to bridge the fridge flue to the outside of the van.
I have moved my fridge by about 2 ft was wondering if flexi would mean I didn't have to bore a new hole. :?:

Re: Under slung water tank pro's / con's ?

Daisy our Auto Sleeper has both Water and Waste tanks and I think there great.....apart from they can cause problems getting on a flat bed trailer if you ever transport the camper about. We have never had freezing problems but then again, Daisy isn't used much in the winter. :) Unless you have a wat...

Re: Buzzing noise from dash worse with lights on????

Whatever the cause of the problem is, the buzzer should not be influenced by lights/flashers, etc. It seems like the Oil Pressure warning system has been modified given that an alternative LED is fitted. The Oil pressure LED on Vans (with Oil Pressure warning system) is controlled by the same circu...

Like the old fashioned buzzer people sometimes fitted in their homes instead of chimes for the doorbell (more commonly used in commercial reception areas to call someone to the desk). Quite ...
