Evening all, I'm looking to install a 12v pump for filling duties in the sink. Currently the van has a manual pump and a separate tap for town hook up. Cold only. About the only thing I use the water for is washing dishes etc, but I can tell you the manual pump is getting old pretty darn quickly. I would like t...

Is anybody towing with Hyundai Tucson Diesel? Have they had additional tranmission cooler fitted and is it necessary? Planning to tow an Avan Cruiseliner. I've searched for specific information and can't seem to see it anywhere.

HI all, today I tackled a water tank swap from 59 to 82L. I stuck with the camec brand which was already there because whilst the 80 was longer, it is the same height and width which meant I could use the same mounting brackets already fitted to the van. I'm guessing the 59 was original and it was a tight fit...

Yesterday we were going to fire up our backyard BBQ but when we turned the gas on at the bottle we noticed a massive gas leak at the regulator. A constant jet of gas was leaking out of a hole in the regulator. At first we thought that it was a puncture hole but then realized that it was supposed to be there. We f...

I am wanting to have the aircon wired via a switch that I can reach from my van recliner. It appears that the aircon is wired directly to the AC power. I think the van AC is a plug and play system with CMS components. Suggestions please. Aussie Paul.
