As promised and update to my visit to Basevans in Derbyshire. Rupert the owner/manager kindly gave us details of a Pub stop over 5 mins drive from his site, the pub has a little hard standing taking about five caravans/motorhomes with electrical hookup for £20 per night. The pub it's self is a...

In all honesty Phil I fully intended to do so when I fitted the original but fitted it with the intention of doing it later and yes as per usual with me I never got around to doing it. At about years 6 I did scrape off flaking paint and rub down some rust spots then sprayed it with a can of...

Yes this is how I view it, the supposed relay powers up a simple submersible pump and the red and black open the valve to allow the submersible pumped water through to flush the bowl. Phil

Found this on Thetford site installation. Anual for your toilets. The grey and purple is for a remote pump and in my opinion can be safely ignored and folded away and made electrically safe. Phil https://www.thetford-europe.com/gb/welcome-thetford-support/c220-series-cassette-toilet Link to...

Not sure what a "Pressure pump relaise " is, but the red and black would be required to operate the on/off valve i.e. Pressing the flush button opens the flush valve which inturn allows the pressure in the cold water system to flush the bowl, once you release the flush button the flush will stop...

I'm going to mention and talk about what some may say is a controversial subject, which it really should not be and this post is purely for information and I except no responsibility if folk act on this demonstrated post. I have recently changed my underslung 25ltr gas tank for a new one as the...

Hmmmm, I'll certainly suggest that to him And see if he can get anywhere with it.But if that's the case then it would seem that they are purely going on visual appearance in which case the camera has to initially pick it up by anpr take the photograph and then someone has to decide if it's...

Another thing to take into account is as my Sons problem, he has a VW T5 and only yesterday he had a penalty fine of £65 pounds from Chelsea county council for travelling in a residential area in a commercial vehicle. Photos were supplied of his van at 22:24hrs travelling along a street in...

Hi Mack, I can't help with your quest, but there are folk on here I believe who are into VW'S , Though the forum has been a bit quiet of late so I'd suggest that you will not get an immediate reply but you might get one after a few days. Maybe a condition report from the AA or RAC might at...

Not a New van ( Secondhand ) but a new build. I said my Sis in laws would be the last one but my daughter now wants one so it's back to hacking and hewing and cutting out window panels again. We are going up to Derbyshire tomorrow to a place call " BaseVans " I'm fairly impressed by them so far...

Hi Pudsey, yes I changed my brake fluid about 4 years ago just before we embarked on a trip to Italy through the Alps, I remember thinking I dont want brake fade or failure going over the Furka pass and believe me if you haven't been over that pass it is indeed a Furka. Phil

I agree Phil that a yearly check is in order if only to check that the calipers/cylinders have not seized up, but to say the truth after years in the trade I've become a little lazy in so much that I tend to now leave things until they are broken so as to speak, I know it's not the best way to...

On my return from a weekend camping trip last week and after 3280 miles on the continent last month I clocked up exactly 60.000 miles on the van from new, and on braking the "Check brake pads" warning showed up on the dash several times and so made a mental note to have a look during the week...

We've just returned from a 5 week trip to Portugal (Caught up in the fires there near Porto, but that's another story). We started off in Dieppe called into see my Brother and his wife in Brittany then continued on down past Biarritz and on through Spain to North Portugal and on down. Have to...

Hi Debs, I personally can see no real reason why dual appliances would be restricted by using the same fuel pickup, one thing for sure is to try it and see. The diesel heaters use very little diesel and contrary to popular believe they do not work by pressure of the pump, the pump only draws...

Just as a matter of interest, I had my Volvo and van MoT'd today and I asked the tester to give me the front axle and rear axel weights for the van, which did not hold any surprises front was 1842kg and the rear was 1784kg all fine. But then I thought I wonder how many people realise that...

Yes this is one of the advantages of the DVLA being an arshole and you deciding not to bother changing the use. You can as said change your van weight for nowt. Phil P.s. Or as near dam it for nowt, compared to SV Techs price.

What Merl says is good advice, though I have to say on several builds I've used mains flex split out of the casing using blue for neg and brown for pos 12v mainly because I had reels of it available f.o.c. But as stated I've had to tag the wires both ends to state what it's for. One other thing...

It really depends on what 12volt systems you intend to power up. Cable sizes can vary by which circuit your wiring I.e. wether it's current heavy like battery feed or current light like LED lights. You would have to give much more information than just 12v cable size required. Phil

Our minds are in uni Phil you posted while I was composing.😄Phil
