Been putting up with the very poor caravan wifi for years. Tried using a wifi extender for a while with limited success. Then they upgraded (if you could call it that ) their system which just made things worse. So tried hot spot on my phone which was just as bad. Finally had enough. I bought a Netgear Nigh...

On face value everything looks right on the CF40, but its just not cooling. On 240V and 12V I get the same indications. I took the lower cover off to inspect the compressor area and wiring. Blew years of dust out of it. Fan was not working, so replaced it and thats fine, but still not cooling at all. Interm...

Having just had the unit joints replaced on the 2014 bt50 I have what appears to be a driveline vibration at about 40/50 mph. I have crawled under and found the unit yokes are not in phase . I was wondering if this is right or has the two parts of the tailshaft been put together incorrectly?

Thinking about buying tyre pressure monitors primarily for the 4 caravan wheels. The prices range greatly from $100 to $1000. Not prepared to spend big money on a unit, but wary of cheapies too. So many different ones on the market. The simple screw on valve stem readers seem appealing and easy, but ar...

Looking like a new set of tires coming up for the van. The van was fitted with A/T tires, I'm wondering if A/Ts are necessary, as none of the wheels are driving, and its mainly towed on the bitumen or some gravel roads. Standard road tyres would be OK, my thoughts.

Hi, a query on how something is supposed to work. New van for us (2015 model) and still working out a few things. When I have the van plugged into 240v, then I assumed the charger would charge my batteries ( I have 2 x 100ah Lithiums) regardless of whether my solar panels are also charging them, or am I wrong...

Curious, I have a dual axle 18ft caravan, and must say it's a pain to try and move it around the driveway, duals just dont like to pivot. Starting to wish I'd bought a single axle. What, if any are the major advantages of dual axle, do they tow mores table, or are single axles just fine ?
