    Fridge fans again.

    That is the same as my Alicanto. I hope the fridge is properly room sealed. Even though the fridge works well, I may fit the fans in case we use the gas at some stage. John

    Fridge fans again.

    If your fridge performs well as it is, then you do not need a fan. But in my last van, the fridge was poor, and we were touring in France. After fitting the fans, the fridge coped with 35 degree heat. I purchased this fan kit for my new van. But after using the van, we are more than impressed...

    Fridge fans again.

    The fans I am suggesting are about £13 the lot. Once in, totally automatic. No intervention required. What’s not to like? As it goes cooler at night. They will not come on. During the heat they cycle on and off, in my last set up you could just hear it switching. But this one is quieter...

    Fridge fans again.

    At present, on USB, both fans are seeing their designed voltage of 5 volt. If I supply 12 volt, which is the designed voltage of the control unit, the output could be 13.8 volt as you say, which is why, in post #1 I said that if I wired them in series the fans may see up to 7 (ish) volts. The...

    Good points, I have brought the kit home and will rig it for a test run on 12 volt when I get the chance. It will be easy to revert to 5 volt in pattelel. John

    Welcome to the forum Gilly. I am interested in your awning. Just considering one, or an Omnistore. Love to know about your fitting. Is it on the roof or the side? Photos perhaps. Just had a quote of £1580 including fitting for a 4 meter Omnistore. This is from Rose awnings who have a...

    Fridge fans again.

    In my last Lunar caravan I fitted a fridge fan made from bit I bought from China. It worked beautifully, it could just be heard turning on and off during daytime hot weather. And the fridge was noticeably cooler in 36 degree temperatures. I have just purchased a new fan kit for our new van...

    Would you 🤔

    They were a great treat. This was clearly a common thing at this pub. I am surprised that the police were not aware. Or perhaps they were among the customers? A similar thing happened in Liverpool. We were drinking at my local which was about to close at the 3pm official time. Someone said...

    Car suspension tuning.

    I am a member of a Mazda CX-5 forum. Mostly American based. A new UK member recently asked for advice regarding What he thinks is a harsh ride. Otherwise he is very happy. He has advice to say change his 19 inch rims to 17 inch. While I see the logic. My car has 19 inch and rides fine...

    Problems with gas refrigerator - Dometic RF60

    Hi and welcome to the forum. If I am right in saying that you initially get a flame but it then goes out when you release control. This is typical of a failed thermocouple which are not too expensive and fairly easy to change if you can access both ends. Or, a failed gas control valve which...

    Corn Lice repellant advice…..(doing our heads in)

    I had two bites on my left ankle a few weeks ago. No idea what beastie did it. But the worst I have ever known. Volteron did help to get me some sleep. They kept on flaring up. In Provence a few years back I counted over 100 bites on both of us. Thats each. But they were not this bad...
