Can anybody help us with gas supply problems to our gas cooker, the flame at gas rings is minute. We have renewed the regulator to we believe the correct one available and the gas fitter adjusted the gas spply pressure and for a couple of days it was very cood but it is now back to a very minute flame.

Just purchased my first caravan, a 2007 Bailey Senator Louisiana Series 5 and checking everything works :) The only thing causing confusion is running the DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR MODEL RM 8550L in 12V mode. I'm parked up and connected to 240V mains and not connected to the car. The fridge works fine wh...

I have been in touch with Jayco to enquire about their installation of a grey water tank. However my question is whether the tank (tanks) should be permanently mounted, or portable, i.e. with wheels. What is your say on this and all the related hassles with emptying. How do the various park rules also r...

I was advised at beaurepaires to run 40 psi (cold) on our 2.8t van. We have p225/75/15 that have a max tyre pressure of 41 psi stamped on them We seem to get a great ri...

Want to plug a 2nd battery in that outlet and run my fridge from the 2nd battery and recharge that battery when driving along or with solar. I am assuming the VSR will stop the ut...

We have an LG Plasma 3D smart TV I'm considering keeping it for use in the van subject to available space and suitability. Searching the user manual about power consumption it refers you to the back of the TV. "AC 100-240v 50/60hrz 3.2A" what is this telling you. I have looked at the 12v mode...

I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this problem.... I am fitting a new water pump into my van. The old one is still working but is very noisy. I have purchased a new pump that when tested outside of the van using a bucket of water does appear to run quieter once the initial priming has finished. Here i...

We are considering the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited for our next car. Mainly down to price and towing capacity. It comes with 20" wheels. However, someone said that in order to get the towbar that's capable of 3,500kg towing we'd need to get the smaller 18" wheels (and its higher profile tyr...

Has anybody else had trouble with CAMEC doors turning themselves inside out? Our door consistently goes inside the caravan, and it has triple point locking which doesn't work. The caravan is only just over one year old. We're going to attempt to get it fixed in Perth, but until then, I sleep with a ligh...

Hello again. Can anyone tell me if you can buy a 240 volt tyre pump at an "acceptable" price? I have a 12 volt inflator that works off the in-car power point, but the cord is too short to reach one caravan tyre while it is in the shed. Being a bit lazy, I hoped I may be able to get a 240 volt job to work o...
