I am surprised that vans/RV's don't have to have a quick disconnect switch to disable the batteries when they are either overheating or worse, beginning to burn up.

I'm thinking of buying a hand held vacuum cleaner to use in my caravan. A brush and dustpan have successfully done my cleaning for these past four years but I have noticed a number of recessed areas, which are inaccessible to a brush, accumulating dust and dirt and they really need a good suck out. This o...

Has anyone taken their dog on the SOT ferry? If so, how big are the cages? Are they fed and watered by the crew or the passengers? I believe it is a 12 hour trip, are the dogs stressed when you arrive at Devonport? Would you do again or never again? Anything else I should know or be warned about? Cheers Bob

A bit of advice - check the dates on your mandatory fire extinguisher - my legal friend has warned me re an insurance being denied due to an out of date extinguisher failing to operate.
