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

Gee, it is difficult for me to work out where and what the wiring does on this van. The 240 v charger charges the house battery when plugged into power. There is an AC lead from the charger that plugs into a double socket, the fridge also plugs into this socket. The charger was showing 5 amps and it did not m...

We have just replaced the anode in our MH, hot water system - the second one in three years. The first one we took out was kept by the people we got the new one from, as an example of how bad they can get. The one we just replaced was pretty badly corroded, and almost worn or eaten away near the bolt at the top. ...

This is a great system and a life saver. I have a question, If the break away battery is flat will the ESC still work? If the answer to that is positive I have some fault finding to do... Should keep me busy for a while. Safe travels -- Edited by Phil C on Friday 29th of August 2014 07:53:13 PM
