Hi, we have an ensuite van and do not use for No 2s. If we go free camping, our aim when we retire, what type if toilet tent is best? Pop up? Slightly heavier one with poles. Also outside toilet seat, the ones weve seen so far look to be rather on the small side. What do people use? Recommend?

Friends are on their second MUX & swear by them (80,000 trouble free kms on the first one). I'm favouring the D-MAX purely on the weight (load)...

Hi we are going away for 10weeks and would like to know if turning off the power is a good idea as we have been told that you can have issues when turning the power back on with the fridge. Also are down light sensors any good. Hoping someone might help shed some light!! On these questions. Phil
