Hi Phil, I'm almost certain that in the past I've used pneumatic fittings on water systems when doing builds as I remember having the same quandary as you are having. When you think about it if something is air tight it is most usually also water tight as air is far less dense than water. 10mm...

If I ever do another one Ken I would certainly just take my time on it, working under duress of finishing it as quickly as possible is very stressful. But the trouble with me is at the other end of the scale, if it took me too long I'd lose interest. 😐. Phil P.s. Though I do love to make a...

In my experience and in the opinion of various battery experts battery ah's are never as manufacturers claim and as Mark says they are only guidelines. For an example a 110ah AGM battery will only produce around 100ah. Most ah ratings are wishful thinking and the best result of multi tests done...

Yes Pudsey, I found out about them a couple of years ago and use them constantly for various connections not only for the motorhome but other situations as well. Good thing about them is you don't need a soldering iron but can use a heat gun when leccy available or small butane torch if use...

Mark I have just found this on the Internet, I have to say when you mentioned this I had no idea, in the past I've just changed the battery by removing the Neg then positive and simply just changed the battery, though doing a proper search does bring up a particular way of going about changing...

To be honest in my view of stop/start it can not in engineering terms be good for the mechanical integrity of a vehicle because without doubt it must put a far greater strain on the starter motor, battery and ringgear. To have gone 70k without problems is lucky I feel Pudsey. The other thing is...

Just checked them out Pudsey and yes good prices and very good reviews. Phil

I really have to agree with Phil (Millie) Mark, the garages you have gone to are obviously out to make a punters profit from you. If you go to a motor factors even if they don't treat you as trade the price of a decent battery would only hover around £150-170, and if you can get treated as in...

My choice would be the L4 as the one I have at this time, trouble being that they seem to be quite rare secondhand, even now though with an L4 the space although exceptable is tight when we pass between the kitchen and shower room but it does give us two long 6'6" day beds/seats on either side...

Trouble for me is that when travelling on the continent especially in France, most Aires are tarmac areas and on a hot windless day its good to put out the Awning 1/4 to its full width (Depending on space available) and have a bit of shade. But every so often even on windless days some very...

Surely it's coach built Phil, not a conversion, just saying like. Phil.

Just as an aside, sign writing on the side of a vehicle is almost impossible to get rid of, in the past I've even taken it back to bare metal and still it shows through after primer and top coat have been applied, faint but definitely visible when viewed down the length of the vehicle. Phil...

Hi and welcome to the site, As to your problem if the kit you've fitted is new and has been installed correctly then you should not be losing air from the system. I'd be very cautious putting that slime sealant in as it creates a right royal mess which is hated by tyre fitters when it comes to...

Yes I've seen that on YouTube, it's down hill and on rough road surface. I considered this video before I bought the trailer then decided that it was a situation that would happen very rarely. Most reversing is carried out on level surfaces and smooth tarmac or grass plus I atleast Reverse very...

Thanks Pudsey, I'm away at the mo I'll look into it on my return. 😁. Phil

I have to admit that it's the same situation for me too, as I have an underslung tank which if I have to turn the gas off means crawling under the van and removing a protective aluminium cover to reach the knob which shuts down the gas. So as Millie does, mine is left on throughout the year. I...

Last October I travelled to Loughborough to purchase a Hydralift trailer from the manufacturer. He's a one man band who has developed and built these trailers for a number of years. He was very welcoming and a knowledgeable guy and helped me to fit the special tow plate to my towbar in place of...

Back to starting again, when last year I began to build my Sis in laws van, after about a week I had to move it to another area on my rear drive, on starting it barely managed to turn over and even though it eventually started I had to recharge the battery over night and most of the next day...
