    Seating cushions

    Reasonably priced is the difficult bit, I have been looking at the caravan cushions on eBay thinking a bargain may be had wrong !! So I think you are right, just have to convince my wife of the immense satisfaction she will achieve by making a set of covers.😀

    Budget ideas

    I think unless you are super organised and disciplined projecting cost is very difficult. I am doing a 7.5 tonne conversion hope to have it complete enough to use after a year of build time spending around six grand. But you do have to be realistic about cost of things with the words motor home...

    Do not allow shadows to fall on your solar panels.

    Very interesting demo, just building a rack for my panels to hopefully install next weekend weather permitting. Fortunately they will be the highest thing on the roof.

    Voltage dropper

    Can anyone recommend a decent 24 to 12 volt dropper. I am trying to tempted to buy the victron 20 amp £44 .10 with warranty, but wondering if the Chinese offerings at half the price are any good.

    Thule Omnistor awning mounting question

    Job done two of us with step ladders got it in place with no drama. I made two additional plates and drilled through the back of the awning and the body as well as through the bottom. So wound it out made a coffee and sat watching the world go by on my drive, very satisfying.

    Thule Omnistor awning mounting question

    I have a 4.5m omnistor awning sourced second hand with no instructions. I have fixed the mounting brackets in place ready to mount the awning and am unsure how the awning is secured to the brackets when in place. A lip on the top of the brackets fits into a channel on the rear of the awning...

    Cooking on gas

    Its all about personal choices really for me, I could have used lighter materials but chose not to. We are happy with the way it is shaping up, and if when complete it is comfortable practical and easy on the eye all the better. No I haven’t tried those blades but I will, anything that helps...

    12 Volt Heating

    Ironically Calor supplied the majority of the Shell fuel stations even though Shell have a customer base of their own that are serviced by Shell gas tankers. Strange but true.

    12 Volt Heating

    It may be of interest to those with refillable lpg systems to know that Shell filling stations in the UK are moving out of auto gas supply, the removal of pumps and tanks is underway.

    Propex Malaga 5E water heater. Any good?

    I am trying to decide on a water heater that will provide a sufficient amount of hot water for a decent shower while keeping to a reasonable budget. Primarily gas powered with optional electric power would be ideal. The Malaga 5E looks like a contender, does anyone have any experience or an...
