When Vauxhall changed from trafficators to flashing indicators in 1955 with the Cresta/Velox/Wyvern, there was an article about it in the Vauxhall magazine. A road safety expert said that for safety reasons flashing indicators should be positioned a good distance from other lights in order to be...

Yes - very helpful, thanks !

Will do !

Thanks - that is very useful info. I still can't find an adaptor, but I'm going to make my own one by joining two of the slotted awning end types (1) together with a length of tubing !

Thanks, but I'm afraid that isn't it - I'm wanting a connector for my air awning pump.

My Dorema air awning came with a hand pump which has a detachable hose, one end with the curved slots (1) connects to the awning, and the other end with the pegs (2) connects to the pump. I have bought a new Itiwit electric pump, but it comes with a pegged connector type (2) attached , so I...

Easy way to remember - the power supply end is always female so you don't accidentally touch a live connector ! 🔌⚡⚡

Wow - so glad I read this thread ! I'm just back from a 5 day stay at Beecraigs Caravan Park in beautiful West Lothian Beecraigs Country Park. After 3 days my Whale submersible pump stopped working without any warning. I checked the voltage at the attachment point and that was perfect, and then...

Is that sadly as in fond memories of them, or the opposite ? :unsure:

The MTPLM is 990 kg - and the car There's room for two - though Lunar probably expect 2 x 6 kg bottles to be used. My thinking was that the single 11 kg bottle would be lighter than twin 6 kgs.

The MTPLM is 990 kg - and the car Gross Vehicle Mass is 2060 kg.

What is surprising is that in order to comply with Lunar's minimum of 50 kg and Toyota's maximum of 55 kg I have very little leeway. I will try a bit of weight redistribution next time. I've only got the spare wheel and the gas bottle in the front locker, which is a 11kg Flogas Propane bottle...

The 55 kg is specified in the Toyota manual. The Lunar manual specifies a minimum of 50 kg and a maximum of 100 kg. The 70 kg was measured with the Milenco gauge.

How do car manufacturers determine what the nose weight limit of their cars should be ? My 2017 Toyota Verso has a nose weight limit of 55 kgs, which seems quite low as it is not a small car. Could this be because it is a 7 seater, and the calculations have to take into account that all the...

I have used Indespension in Milngavie for 3 towbars over the years. I've always had good advice and good service. https://indespension.co.uk/indespension-glasgow
