Quite frankly if someone is not happy about using a straight transfer pipe and aware of how to do it safely, then they should not be doing it and purchase a Gasit bottle and associated connectors for garage forecourt style filling. Phil But freedom of information is sometimes.es a good thing or...

Yes, or you can do it In batches till you have the required weight I.e. fill your 6kg bottle off the scales for a small transfer of liquid then reweigh the bottle it might now weigh 9kg a d so you will have transferred 2kg of liquid in a tare weight bottle of 7kg, you can keep refilling like...

Trouble is Gasit and equivalents are expensive. If you know the Tare weight and the full weight of the cylinder you are filling then it's very easy to fill to 80%. I.e. weigh an empty cylinder, say its 7kg And it will be marked as say a 6kg gas bottle. So you whilst on some scales fill The...

Over the years I have tried several cab blinds the usual silvered and cushioned material that either sits outside and is attached by door handles and rear top of front doors and the inside suckered held blinds which I'm using at this present time. I've held off from buying the fold away Remis...

Whilst I would not condone illegal practices I have to agree with Phil that if done correctly, transferring liquid gas from a larger bottle to a smaller bottle is no more or even less dangerous than transferring petrol from a Jerry can to a vehicle or generator, as when transferring liquid gas...

I've just been reading about this insane. move by calor gas to discontinue 3.9 and 4.5kg bottles which in turn has caused a Massive shortage of 6kg propane bottles Due to thousands of people switching to 6kg, self builders have also been blamed due to the vast in rease of self built...

Something like this.

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...
