Found this on the internet, just out of interest I was looking up the price of one of these inverters and came across this. Phil.

Same here Debs mine is also xlwb and I prefer steel wheels for strength and reliability of seal around the rims as, every car I have owned has always had a problem associated with aluminium wheels with tyres slowly deflating because of the poor seal around the rims, unless I stand over the tyre...

Actually just found this on a motorhome chat, whether it's true or not I can't say as both Ducatos that I've owned have both had 16" wheels. "16" after market wheels would need to have lower profile tyres to keep the same overall circumference. 15" and 16' standard fiat wheels have different...

Yes Phil, Sevel Van's especially xlwb versions are designated 16" wheels, I've always thought 15" wheels looked too small on Sevels, seeing as they are all coming out of the same factory I suppose there must be a reason for 15" wheels to be fitted on some models could be financially ordained or...

Hi Gregg maybe this will help😄

Most of these companies produce sealants or sealant adhesives, there is of course a difference in sealant, sealant adhesive and non setting sealant. I personally use sealant adhesive to seal roof lights and side windows although the consensus is to only use non setting mastic type sealants for...

Think I may have mentioned this in the past Phil, but I used to work in the marine trade, yachts and power boats ect, where Sikaflex was stipulated for all under water lead ins and weather proofed entry cables topside, when one day a guy came along and said "Why the hell are you using that...

I've always found that even sealed as best as you can, sikaflex tends to go hard very quickly down through the tube once opened. However I use Evo stick "sticks like Shit, sealant adhesive " and have found it to be as good as Sikaflex in every respect, other than its shelf life once opened is...

Batteries only produce excess hydrogen if the charge voltage is too great or the battery internals have a problem, in general it will be quite obvious if they are gassing off to any great extent by a really odd ion smell, but I have to say that batteries under the bed without venting to the...

The whole point of a multi valve manifold is so that if servicing a particular appliance is necessary or an appliance has a problem you can cut off gas supply while other appliances can continue to be used just as an electrical consumer unit allows other appliances to continue to work if a...

If you have a multimeter set it on Amps ( usually the centre lead plug is the common and the plug either side of common is volts/ohms or Amps depending on where you plug into) max amps on most cheap multi meters is 10amps which is plenty for average single solar panel fitted to a vehicle...

Welcome aboard Grant, you'll get plenty of help here, good luck in your quest 🤘😊

I know that weight is not so much of a problem for you as it is for us that use Ducatos, but we also have showers every other day when away and we only have a 95lt tank an yet have never run out of water so far in 5 years use ( Obviously filling up from the many sources on the continent and at...

CAK by name CAK by nature, they as we now know Phil have a really bad reputation, as I've said in the past when I phoned them for info on their tanks a stroppy women gave me a right mouth full in so much as I could take it or leave it, well I left it. Horrible people to deal with. 😡😡.Phil.

Squirrel I personally have never drunk from water tanks unless the water has been boiled. In all my years in the army using stagnant water and sterilising tablets then if possible boiling the water before drinking it, I have come to the conclusion that drinking water from an unsterile source is...

Same place that I got mine Sean is very helpful and his build quality is great 5 years now and no problems with them. But as stated he is busy as he produces for major converters, that's how I found out about him when perusing Van's at shows. Phil

Hi Phil just found this which seems good to me. https://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/11527/how-can-i-remove-the-rearview-mirror-button-off-my-windshield-that-i-just-put-on/11534 Phil.

Evening Mark, it took me 6 months of full on labour to build mine and at the time I was 64. I have to say that I enjoyed the challenge rejoicing in my triumphs and enjoying the way that I got around my failures and won through in the end. I would suggest that it's best to take your time, think...

Have you checked the duct connections to the heater and made sure they are fully home as there can be a significant lose of pressure if they are not pushed fully home, I had a problem like that with two of my ducts, must have happened whilst I was delving around under the bed at some stage it...
