Sullage hoses
(Preview)
We seem to have a lot of problems with sullage hoses splitting. We started with the common ridged ones (25 mm), then replaced them with some dearer ones with smooth inner surface. The latter seem to be even more prone to splitting. Any suggestions? Andrea & John

Fridge vent shade
(Preview)
Hi all, i know this topic has been thoroughly discussed before but am in need of a recap! When fitting a fridge vent shade is it best to cover top vent also? The shade material is breathable so will let the rising heat out if covering the top is the way to go. Thanks in advance. Kezngaz.
