    Fittin upright fridge

    Sorry mate, just that sprinter was asking how to fit (his) fridge and it was obvious to those that know that there are blanking plugs over screw holes. But yes others might indeed be fitting domestic fridges. Phil 🙃 P.s. The way you have fitted your domestic fridge of course could be used to...

    LPG vs Diesel heaters for winter travel Pros & cons

    I'm still only paying 53p a ltr at Cardiff gas in Barry South Wales, even Morrisons in Barry is only 57p a ltr. I'll ask my son how much he's paying in Burgess Hill in Sussex. I can only think that you in the south are definitely being ripped off. Phil

    Compost toilet review

    It was only 2019 that trains should have stopped dumping toilet waste directly on to the track, in point of fact there are still many trains dumping on the tracks in 2021. The theory is that at high speed it is vaporised and spread thinly to be oxidised and washed away on the next rain. When...

    Compost toilet review

    As for emptying the cassette I put in a fall y section into my soil stack with a screw on blanking cap, all available from your local plumbers outlet. So when I return home I can easily and cleanly empty the cassette outside using the outside garden hose to flush it out. In 30 years I can...

    The heat.

    Well nobody has mentioned it so I will. The heat is great! Most folk complain when it rains too much so this is the antidote. For those that don't remember, it may seem hot to you now but in 76 the temperature stayed at between 30c and 36c for a full six weeks, and Ladies and Gentlemen that was...

    Peugeot alternator/charging problem.

    Just for the interest of those that would like to be informed. The problem turned out to be the earth strap from chassis to the gearbox. The gearbox end was heavily corroded, once removed and cleaned up all started working as it should. The strange thing was that the starter motor which shares...

    Peugeot alternator/charging problem.

    My neighbour has a Peugeot based motorhome 2004 that has a charging problem, he asked if I could look at it, it started apparently not to charge the cab battery a couple of months back so he would take the cab battery of and recharge it off the vehicle. The ignition light comes on when turning...

    Water pump

    Hi Nabsim, the reason for an expansion/accumulater is to stop pulsing of the water flow caused by the water pump using the accumulater, and to help with thermal expansion in the hot water system by using an expansion tank. In general the use of an expansion tank in a motorhome is not necessary...

    Water pump

    A Truma combi4 has a max working pressure of 2.8bar = 40 psi. So I would personally go for the 30psi as there is little difference in price if you shop around. As for the flow of water from a small storage tank, you can open the taps to a dribble or full flow it's up to you, but at least if you...

    Water pump

    Have you seen the cost of copper pipe and fittings recently, it's skyrocketed in the last 2-3 years. I needed some pipe and fittings to run water out to my green house, I ended up running garden hose to the green house and just a short length of copper pipe that I had left over from a previous...
