Agreed Helen. Handy space for the loo and any wet / muddy stuff to hang during our glorious British summers

Re: Battery issues with SB and LB

Cheers Chris - radio, 12v sockets, interior lights and blinds running off LB (I think). They all work with no key in the ignition.

Battery issues with SB and LB

Hi all - expert assistance required? I have a winter set up where I am currently using the existing second starter battery as a LB (with willington kit fitted).

Relocating front heater controls

Hi all - I am thinking of trying to move the heater 'head unit' and swapping it from right to left so my radio is under the vents and more easily accessible as it is a bit of a reach for the volume knob which is on the LHS of the radio head unit. What do I need to disconnect and is there much slack ...

Re: Flip up stove sink

Just put a hinge on the surface the hob/sink unit is housed in. Th gas pipe from the bottle will be flexible - just leave enough slack. and dont forget to make sure the sink is empty at bed time :lol: :lol:

Re: AFT re-enforcing plate advice

I had the same - had to wedge a tea towel under the AFT to stop the banging. Soon sorted by raising the roof slightly, and applying pressure to the rivitnuts with a rubber mallet. That was last year and the roof has been up countless times since and they are still intact.

Try here Derek - same thing

Found them invaluable for all sorts of stuff in the bongo from awning tie downs to washing line holders. It lets you attach a guy line just where it suits rather than where there is an eyelet (or most usually not an eyelet)

Re: Leisure battery ammeter question

looks like a neat piece of kit - I am not so electrically minded. Is this the best sort of gauge for keeping an eye on your leisure battery condition / usage?
