It flashes for a few seconds when first start up then stops for a few seconds and then starts up again and continues. The coolant level is topped up and the vehicle does...

Fridge Vent Advice

Hi All

Looking for advice!

My van only ever had 1 fridge vent on the side (upper), coupled to a small 2" hole in the floor at the back of the camper - now Im redoing it all is this sufficient - id rather not cut a lower hole in the side panel if possible?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Re: Minimum Leisure Battery Amp?

Yeah mine was behind the starter battery, but as you say no good for a real leisure battery. TBH I am moving mine under the drivers seat I find having batteries in the engine bay a pain anyway, including the starter.

Maybe, but my son sleeps sideways over the cab, my stepdaughter upstairs and the dog in the footwell!!!

To be honest the best thing we bought for storage was a small trailer - it transformed camping!!

Re: Seams Advice please

My opinion would be it starts from inside the seam, not inside / outside the van.

Treating both sides basically doubles the time before it comes back. (about 2 months instead of 1 :D )
