Best not to limit yourself. An inboard tank will not improve your shower experience, (unless it is on the roof of the van :ROFLMAO:). This is down to the pump output. Perhaps you have experienced low speced pumps in the past. John

Yes, the 12 volt system will not work. But also. Electronic devices, like the control panel can act strange if they only receive a very low voltage. Which is why I suggest you MAY be pleasantly surprised when you put the battery back on. Good luck with the battery re-charge, they don’t like...

Your ideas seem logical and I think your plan might work. But two thoughts occur. What is your use? Long distance and hot weather the fridge while traveling may be oh some use. Otherwise, a couple of hours in the country, makes very little difference. You can do better with ice packs or...

A fully charged battery may fix the problem 🤞 John

The items that are operational, are they mains or 12 volt? My guess is that it is a 12 volt fault with the panel. There may be a reset you could Google. John

Hi Rob and welcome. Being a European van, is it fully mains electric, or a combination of mains and 12 volt? John

This is not something I have ever done. I wonder if this is for touring or seasonal. Perhaps sand bags might be considered to trap the skirt. John

My friends Dad had the Hawk around 1964. I remember going to a garage with my friend to get fuel. We were 20 mins with much help trying to find where the petrol cap was. Then someone came in and unscrewed the reflector in the rear light cluster. John

New to me. I will need another caravan to try them. John

Just found these in the loft, first our trip to Prague in 1999  The following year we went to the Jura. The itineraries and routes made up booklets and I copied for each outfit, All pre sat nav. It worked well for most of the time. We had completely forgot about the...

A timber merchants would be better and cheaper. Perhaps a gravel board or two cut to about 9 inch lengths. Then you can pack them. If you don’t have a saw, they will cot it into as many pieces as you want for little money. And it is pre-treeted. John

You would expect it to be correct if it says it is for the job. Perhaps there has been a specification change at some time. John

The pipes you are looking at are the ducting that heats your van. The exhaust or flu is under the van directly below the heater. John
