My cassette service door key lock latch wasn't coming out far enough to engage. Why I don't know the other lock (without key is OK).

This has all started when we had visitors, and the other lady talking to my lady about the caravan, got around to talking about washing their hair, and it appears there was not enough water pressure to wash out the shampoo. Well it so happen...

Finally, after years of running low cost generators, I splashed out and bought a Honda EU-20i. I got an excellent price of $1550 with a free cover thrown in. Although the cheap gens have been generally OK they have always had some issues, hopefully the Honda will not. I'm currently running it in and onc...

Winter Diesel
(Preview)
Just a query for those who know. I fill my Diesel tanks in Qld which obviously does not need winter diesel. Do I need an additive added if I still have the Qld diesel in my tanks when in the winter areas. I don't want my diesel waxing up.

Hot water
(Preview)
I have a Living Edge van now 2 and a half years old and with the onset of winter I had to wait till midday when things warmed up to get hot water. I removed the tempering valve from under the van so that hot water runs from the heater to the tap. Any thoughts on this ?
