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. I have viewed this youtube entry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRB7Z66brO0 Its self explanatory but it seems we can use an AC breaker on DC (just double the rating) I guess the thermal side of the breaker will operate first, from magnetic theory I...

Hi folks, I'm considering buying a camper and I'm wondering if anyone has used either a diesel or gas heater in one. With canvas sides on the camper, I'm wondering how much heat is lost. Anyone had any experience in this area? Bushranger Tony

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.

Just a quick question and answer, I hope!! I put a multi-meter on my caravan 12 volt system and found it has a reading of 13.75 volts. I'm currently plugged into 240v and the batteries are hooked up to a smart charger. Batteries are AGM GEL. Should my lighting system, TV, etc be running at 13.75 volt...
