Hi everyone, We are up to having electrician to install 240v wiring in motor home. We have had differing opinions from several electricians regarding which 240v wiring to use. Some are saying that we need the white domestic to use in general and the grey to use for generator and inverter connections w...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me why my 3 way fridge stopped working from the battery while driving? The fuse looks OK and the interior light is still on but the little triangle alarm symbol comes on as soon as I start the motor and the fridge starts to defrost. The fridge is a Dometic auto. Jen

I have a small round dodgy LED light in the step well of my Jurgens. I can get the fascia and lens off but that's it. Do I have too break it to get it out or is there a way of getting it out without breaking it. Tried turning it and also levering it with a screw driver. No luck at this point.

I want to run some wiring from underneath the van up the vent space behind the fridge (185 ltr Dometic) into an overhead cupboard. Is there anything at the back of the fridge that would be hot enough to melt any wiring sheath should it touch? Thanks. Cheers, John.

Hi all This will spark some discussion Im sure.

How do nomads attach fittings to the thin outer aluminum skin of their vans. I recently fitted anti flap brackets with 1/8" ally pop rivets and on the first test the batten hook caught on one and almost ripped it off. On a couple I was lucky to strike the frame behind and they are firm.
