We have a recently installed Webasto diesel heater which we are really pleased with. However with spring just a few days away I am thinking about the summer months & the heater laying idle.

Ie. 12v and 240v. How come they don't have systems configured like your house that is. The solar PV and i...

Hooked the van up to power this weekend to make sure all was good. Checked the next day and the fridge, set at low, was running at -4c. The bench over the fridge was warm to touch. The fridge is a 3 way, probably 23 years old. Any ideas? Hendo

This may seem stupid question BUT for the first time I have a blown bulb in the light above the sink in our 2004 Jayco Freedom pop-top. How do I rectify this? Do I need to remove the two tiny screws fixing the light assembly to the ceiling? If I do this, is the bulb replacement a simple matter of removing a tw...
