Hi. We had some problems with our very old leisure battery (holding charge, sulphur smells etc), so replaced it with a new one. However, it seems not be charging when we drive and hence it's drained when we arrive at a campsite. Once we have external power it seems to charge up no bother, then loses...

It’s worst at first, but we notice it comes back if we are in a low gear it higher revs. We isolated the leisure battery from the car battery and still got the smell.

Thanks for all your help so far.

Hi. A week ago, for no apparent reason, this started happening. We don't think it's the leisure battery as we stuck our noses in to check. Could be the car battery, but it's new and there's no signs of any issues externally. Could there be any other explanation, or must it be one of those? We don't ...

Hi all, hope you're getting out and about this summer. We have a 1987 high top T25.

When we got him back, the new gearbox set-up was such that first was engaged through the gate and round the corner (like reverse, but down...

Thanks. Managed to solder the connections back on to the fuses. New set of fuses needed. Cheers!

No. It's just a small unit behind the driver's seat. It has an on/off switch and a rocker switch that allows you to select lights only or lights and water pump. There's a photo of one on this page: http://picclick.co.uk/Logic-1-Caravan-Control-Panel-201641058395.html" onclick="window.open(...

Hi. This power distribution unit was installed already when we bought our T25 van. It mostly works fine, but the rocker switch connection is failing and the water pump won't operate. Should we a) fix the unit, b) get a new unit or c) do something different? Thanks!
