Get hold of a plastic bread tray, the ones that they deliver bread to shops / supermarkets in. Cut out the base and then cut it into two strips, place one under each drive wheel tyre.

Forgot to mention, we found Johnstones as good as any brand and leave it to dry for at least 48 hours, ideally longer before placing anything on the surface, even if it feels perfectly dry.

The main reason for the paint coming off or peeling is the condition of the floor before the paint is applied. I managed a self storage business for several years with 550 rooms that had to have floors painted and re-painted regularly. I would make sure your floor is perfectly dry and choose a dry d...

Thanks for the replies, I think the son in law has a smart charger, will try that first. Looked at EDTA and the process involved, looks like it's a problem to dispose of responsibly.

My leisure battery is about a year old, it's a 115 amp deep cycle battery, it has recently been running out of power much faster than expected. I tried charging it fully and it only lasted 12 hours on a compressor fridge set on a medium setting. I had an auto electrican look at it and his opinion is...

Coleman claim 5 days, I have managed four by making sure everything is well chilled when it goes in and then filling the gaps with ice cubes. Don't open the drain plug as the melted water still helps keep things cool.

The van will need to be perfectly level to work efficiently on gas.

Miltons sterilising fluid should do it or a very weak, thin bleach solution.

Love the solar panel arrangement but not sure about the colour of that washing up bowl. What were they thinking about when they bought that!!

I use Purdys in Portchester, probably the wrong end of Hampshire for you but they are good.
