Our Fiat Ducato scissor jack (supplied) broke on it's first use and we're now wondering what to replace it with. Any suggestions as we have a 23' Conquest and are planning long trips. Our initial search online has shown height variations, which might not be satisfactory.

Can anyone advise why my Truma Boiler model B10/B14 seems to cut out on either gas or 240V and needs to be turned off - wait for 5 minutes and turned back on again for the unit to heat up for one cycle and turn back off again? I have an Winnebago Esperance 2010 model. Thanks
