Hi all
I was told at a caravan repair centre that gas on a 3 way fridge is the easiest to fix and always doable.
Have a look on you tube for CVC's video of servicing the fridge

Re: Rusty roof chop
Hi Mike.g
Excellent work your doing, inspiring.
You mention about "more air for your engine" and couldn't help but notice this in the photo rollercoaster sent.
Are these vents for the engine?
Hope this helps

Re: Rustoration
Your right there Roger.
Only done a little bit outside, have got water in the upper cavity and discovered a hole in my tin roof( back right corner) roof needs to come off and remove all the interior. I will only then just be scratching the surface.
Fingers crossed
