Quite so Geoff, it has been four years since I bought mine and I bought the lot at a reduced price at one of the many motorhome shows that we go to, I thought they were Brummie, but I haven't looked at the invoice since it arrived on my door step. Phil😊

Hmmm Mark I can not categorically say for sure but the only ones I've come across the inlet (Air intake) comes from under the van goes through the burner and then continues up the chimney, for an exhaust to operate in that it exhausts down through the floor would require a strong exhaust fan to...

Your correct in saying the blow fan ones are more efficient Squirrel but that means 12volt is necessary to drive the fan and most that have the fan also have 230volt heaters incorporated as well, the fume smell I feel is more to do with dust that settles on and in the heater as the gas burner...

In theory yes, but very fool hardy, unfortunately purpose built Gas bottles whether it is underslung or calor style bottles have a built in safe guard so that the bottle can only be filled to 80% capacity, the reason being that if over filled beyound the recommended 80% gas in liquid form can...

Have to say Trev, if I had been able to incorporated one of those into my build I would have done, as you say no need for 12volt feed to supply a lot of radiated heat. I had those in my caravans and previous motorhomes all be it they were coach built 🙂Phil

No truer word, but bear in mind that the majority fires in vehicles are down to poor or worn electrical installations. This I know for a fact having worked in the motor industry for 40 years. Phil

True, but with a ridiculous suggestion that its dangerous to have a naked flame with a gas installation in a motorhome, its a deserved sarcasm. That sort of statement is what is commonly known as scaremongering, on a self build site such as this. If you want to give advise on electrical things...

Dave give it a rest, there are hundreds and tens of thousands of gas installations world wide let a lone in the UK. If they were that dangerous it would be illegal, watch the video and you will see that the gas tank has a slow blow safety valve which is more than a petrol driven car does in its...

I Got the complete setup from autogas 2000 with stainless steel holding cradle and straps ( A little bit extra in cost ). The job I completed myself ( There is no legal impediment to do this, as much as some try to tell you) So long as you are competent in DIY then it is really an easy job to...

I'm afraid you might have to get use to it in future as there are more and more design engineers beginning to move towards Hydrogen as a form of propulsion as opposed to electrical propulsion. When you consider the present situation with electrical power, the feasibility of powering lorrys and...

I know I keep banging on about it lads, but I filled up my underslung 25ltr gas tank before I left for Switzerland last week at a cost of £12, we have used the cooker every day and the grill plus the fridge has been on gas 90% of the time we've been away a week now and we've used about 15% of...

My midi heki has permanent ventilation built in but the rear maxi heki I always leave on the first catch opening which leaves a gap of about 13mm at the rear of the light. When parked up for short periods or when in van down time I open the toilet sky light fully. Phil

My cheapo has a deep vane aluminium heat sink, so I must have been lucky 😜 Phil.

Maybe so Trev but I thought for £10 I'd try a cheap PWM out and see as opposed to a very expensive MPPT, I had read all about the difference between the two, to be perfectly frank I have as I stated earlier never had to use the Honda since, so in my particular case I've saved money and I'd...

The one I use is the R12, it can be supplied with 10/15 or 20m of cable, unfortunately the price is high, I bought the monitor off a guy at one of the motorhome show stalls for about 2/3rd price and bought the camera off another vendor ( Cheaper than DRW camera "same camera "but still...

As for the cable Phil, it's more than long enough as I've had to coil it up multiple times at the rear to take up the slack and the same applied when I fitted one to my Swift Sundance which was 7.5 mtr long. I have put the power into the side lights as I never travel without dip beam on it's...

Hi Nick, I got mine from Magnums motorhome supplies, they have worked well for 4 years the only problem has been that as mine where gold coloured the gold colouring has worn off the most used ones and left a bald neutral colour in the centre of the button how brushed aluminium ones would fair I...

Hi Robert, My set up is with a 120w rigid panel cheap of ebay £80 at the time admittedly 4 years ago, with a cheap £10 controller feeding a 110ah leisure battery, we are avid TV watchers ( At least I am ) and lit up like Blackpool most of the time. Previously (In another van) we did not have a...

Morning Phil, I'm still here I log in from time to time to see what's occurring. As for rear views I have had sterling service from the rear view mirror style monitors and duel rear cameras, I see that you intend to route the cable under Millie and up to the mirror mount in any case, this is...

I really dont understand Mark, I have used 3 way fridges for years and years too many for me to contemplate and have never had a destroyed food situation, can you explain how you have had this situation happen to you on what seems to be many occasions according to your post. Phil P.s. I have...
