With electric ones I thought the reason in the main for using them was so that vents cut into the van wall was unnecessary plus those that worry about gas install can rest easily, at least thats what I've heard from those folks that swear by them. Phil

Well the motor home we had at the time was a Swift sundance, we had it from new and held it for ten years before I sold it and all I had to do to it was service the exhaust once in ten years, its still going strong now as far as I know, point being that if a fridge lasted 10 to 12 years thats...

To be factual, we have travelled through Italy in one of their record breaking heat waves and the fridge performed faultlessly for the whole time, my view is that these fans are a pointless exercise. 😉 Phil.

Fridge works on heat and during sub tempretures ( Below 10 deg ) the baffle plates help to keep the fridge exchanger up to temp, without them the exchanger would be running in an inefficient manner. The vents without the covers are there to dissipate excess heat during warm/hot weather and its...

I think the real answer for those that travel to distant and wild places is that not carrying a spare is verging on the insane 😄. Phil Or blatantly stupid.

Did he invent perpetual motion generator for you then Duckato. 🤔 Phil

I use a flexi funnel for filling with oil, Ducato's are slow fillers in any case so you have to take care when pouring, in fact most modern overhead cam engines are slow fillers, if you don't fill slowly you end up with golden syrup all over the cam cover and down the front and rear of the...

It's as mentioned purely for ease of filling, Phil.

I personally think that suggestion is as idiotic as saying when was the last time you had scarlet fever, its all relevant, nobody knows when that discarded screw is going to infiltrate the integrity of your tyre, and you can bet your life its going to happen when you least expect it to, like on...

In many ways I agree with Phil, not sure about the idiot bit though 😁 ,especially if you travel to places where its very much out of the way, at home or abroad. As for not carrying a spare because they will take it away and get it sorted, it does mean that you are going to be static for at...

Evening Geoff, Did wonder where you had got to, welcome home 😁 Phil

Hey Phil. Ref Multitool.... I have one of those. The PME-180E I think it is? I remember buying it when it just came out and the Festool Multimaster was "the tool" to have for the pros I personally bought the titan one from screw fix and its been a great tool to use, but today I was in Lidles...

Sounds about right to me Liberty 😃. Wildebus your posts are amazing, 🤗.Phil

Yes Phil they have both promised that they will keep me informed on development.🙂Phil

Had a reply from The Caravan and Camping club technical department, and they have given almost the same reply as The Caravan and Motorhome Club. Phil

Ok all I have had a reply from The Caravan and motorhome club. The answer is as follows. Dear Phil Martin Spencer our technical manager has looked into your enquiry and read your attached e/mails. He has concluded that the information fed back by DVSA is incorrect and would not hold up...

Yes Chris, But what folk are not aware of is that as far as vehicles are concerned the DVSA have far more powers than Mr Plod, and on a roadside spot check they are checking for conformity to construction and use of a vehicle, this is why it is not left to the police alone to do these spot...

Weigh bridges hidden in public roads My reason for posting that info was more to show that times are a changing and what is being discussed is more than probably going to increase exponentially in the near future. Phil

Just to add to our woes I have just been in contact with a DVSA officer who does not want to be identified, he has told me that the DVSA are trialling a weigh road bridge that is under a public road this is ganged to APNR cameras and records your weight against DVLA records, at present they are...

I dont think you have to start panicking now Gary, it will probably take a fair while for this situation to filter through. But it is definitely something that we should be aware o, because if the DVSA start targeting motorhomes its not only this problem but I'm pretty sure that a great many of...
