Re: Solar joy

Another recommendation for Photouniverse too. Bought their 120W kit, but replaced the controller for an MPPT one.

Was abit of a job routing the cables into the vehicle (Autosleeper poptop) but got there in the end and its working a treat.

Re: Fridge lock

Since I first read this thread I've noticed a discarded golf tee on the doorstep at work. I'm assuming this is a sign telling me I'm going to loose mine soon.....

Fuel Tank/Lines change

Hi All, Some tips required for this. My garage has recommended a fuel tank change due to the usual problem of eroded tank and filler pipes. Something I've known about for a while, may as well get the lines replaced at the same time. Where is the best place to source these? I have access to a trade a...

Re: Tree Sap on paintwork

+1 for Bilt Hamber clay bar - a clay bar will remove contaminants that washing and polishing won’t and it only requires water as a lubricant. I recently did the wife’s car and the contaminants on the bonnet alone despite it being regularly cleaned, were quite astonishing. General rule is to wash/cl...

Re: Tree Sap on paintwork

Use the best wax for the job It will create a barrier Carnuba wax is the best thing to apply. I use Auto Glym Hi Def. There are many others but this has the highest concentration and has won many competitions for durability. Use only twice a year. Wash the paint regulary with shampoo And apply a li...

Tree Sap on paintwork

Hi All, Just recently moved into a new place so the van has a new parking spot, (off road parking a plus!) however, it's now under a tree and is getting covered in sap. I'm aware of the negatives of covering and really dont want to go down that route but just wondered what other peoples suggestions ...

Re: SE London Fridge servicing

Do any of them hold temp in hot weather? Mines OK but when it hits top 20s C, forget it It used to if i recall. Certainly remember having ice cubes at festivals... So, it appears you were right. I think the fridge was just overloaded and it was too hot. Went away just me and the partner this weeken...

SE London Fridge servicing

Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend a campervan specialist in SE London who can service my Electrolux RM 212 in an Autosleeper Trooper, works fine on 12v and 240v, but it's failing on gas (Will ignite but won't hold temp).

Anyone know anything?

Cheers
