Can anyone give me some advice on water filters for my caravan. I have been looking at Inline filters to put on the inlet hose. Are there any that I should steer away from, or things to look out for?

We have an Iveco/Winnebago 26' 'Jervis' Motorhome and just wondering what the opinion is of other users out there, as to the use of stabilizer legs to minimise any movement when set up? At the moment I use a small stabilizer jack at the doorway to stop any 'dipping' on entering or exiting the motorhome...

Diesel heater
(Preview)
Our Diesel heater works fine but cuts off about 30min after startup. Will decreasing set temp (30) help. Or maybe green fuel line collapses. Intake all clear, pump sounds fine. Timer not set either. Any advice appreciated.

Portable Solar Panels

We recently spent a week at Carnarvon Gorge (our second ever caravan trip) in an unpowered site with lots of trees above us so our solar input to our 3 x 110w roof panels (feeding 3 x 120amp batteries) was limited. Over 5 days I got the batteries down to 11.4 volts so was getting close to empty. I run a 12vol...

diesel heater- 2,3,5kw...which is ideal?
(Preview)
I thought I'd tell you of my experiences with two Chinese diesel heaters. I've had a 3kw diesel heater for 3 years. It was marketed on ebay as a 3kw but most of us are aware that this is a marketing ploy, heaters that are 3 or 4kw as advertised are likely to be 5kw heaters. All was good until one day recently I...
