Please use WD40 penetrating oil not Original WD40 as thats just a water dispersant ( thats what the W & D stand for). You could always ask a mobile caravan engineer to attend and undertake the work search:- www.mobilecaravanenginers.co.uk and click on 'find an engineer'. The nuts...

Please don't use emery cloth/paper/board , it will remove the electroplating on the battery contacts and the underlying base metal will rust again and you will be back to square one. If you do accidentally remove the electroplating a 'nickel' pen can can apply a film of nickel to the...

@Buckman see link:- https://www.channel5.com/show/when-holidays-go-horribly-wrong-841e40f5-c103-493c-97b1-9e1af79b34ce/season-1/caravans

I have the same relay/fuse board and the master switch controls RL5 which then brings on the other circuits so either a dry joint, loose connector in the harness from the master switch to the relay /fuse board or faulty relay contacts would cause the issue you having.

Its been on 'Caught on Dashcam' and 'when holiday goes horribly wrong' or something like that channel 5 , season 1 episode 3 'caravans' , my personal favorite is when having become detached a caravan rolls back down a slight hill,turns into a car park and 'parks' itself !( about 41 mins in )

This is a reconstructed schematic of the wiring of a C262 I had a similar problem with and having traced the wires , I determined the wires from the lower pcb to the upper pcb had corroded , so each time the pump was activated the voltage to the pcb dropped away .

Not sure if the C260 is the same as the 262 but on some suppliers the reed pcb for the C260is the same as the 262 the pcb is behind a plastic panel and the back of the cassette locker , secured by two screws. and not if there is a high resistance joint/wire/pcb track.

We need the toilet model . it can be rotted wires inside the cassette area. On some toilets there is a small pcb at the back of the cassette locker (C262) with a relay and a polyfuse( a positive temperature coefficient thermistor which will go high resistance in an overcurrent situation) and a...

There is a supplier of wallboard and vinyl wallpaper which I use called park and leisure ltd , they supply mainly to the static caravan industry and have a large selection of both wallboard ( 3.6mm plywood covered with vinyl wallpaper) and just the wallpaper . To apply the wallpaper use...

The fuse block can be hidden behind the space heater , underneath the floor (removable) of the wardrobe, screwed to the side wall of the caravan. Not the easiest to get to . Also seen them on the front fire wall

that black thingy is a siren , just cut the wires to it.

Do you have Alko ATC . if so then the activating rod may have jammed in the active position
