As long as you use the same value fuse why not take out that fuse and fit a more reliable type of fuse somewhere more accessible in the cable run. The fuse is probably there for 2 reasons - in case there is a fault in the fridge or fridge wiring and as over voltage protection for the fridge...

We have just swapped the awning/external light for a G4 LED light - they have to be the flat type on ours to shine in the right direction. You would need to check to see what type you have. Light is slightly less but not a cold colour. We bought ours here...

12.45v seems low for 75% charge perhaps it is 75% discharge. We do a lot of rallies use LED lights and have the TV on for up to 8 hrs and a 110Ah battery will comfortably last a weekend. General rule for us is avoid using anything on battery that generates heat or uses fans - i.e blower...

This may be a silly question but surely the seller should have or be able to get the keys - otherwise how could they have used it?

Try using the wok excellent for fajita mixes, curries and chillis. Had fajitas on friday - lovely

We were at Golden Sands, Woolacombe in February and had no problems with a Status 530.

I just put the levellers one in front the other at appx distance between wheels and drive the first wheel over the first chock - never had any problems.

Ditto - Caravan 12V supply may also carry interference or spikes from pumps etc. If available we plug it into the mains but notice no difference on 12V. One less transformer to carry though if you remain on 12V.

Go into a builders merchants or car maintenance shop and ask for a rechargeable LED worklight - comes with hooks to hang it, does not need a permanent cable feed, is very robust and will not run your van battery flat (2-5 Watts), also useful for nighttime roadside repairs etc. Ours comes with 2...

The green stuff is the eco warrior version

We just use tissue and a plastic spatula, if you heat the whole thing up a little first the grease comes off easily.

Yes I do not use him yet as van still in warranty but a friend in the local centre speaks very highly of one. Will find out details and post check back next week, alternatively Happy Lappy may have details.

We do lots of non EHU rallies and just leave the water heater on, I would say it seems to use no more gas than the fridge. Once they have done the initial job they seem to run on the equivalent of a pilot light. We find it is the room heater that really uses the gas - and battery if you use...

Quantock is a quiet site with no entertainment, there is a swimming pool and games room. We like the area and the site although not sure I would like to pitch there year round. Have not been to Stowford although I know the area and there is plenty to see in the within a few miles of the site...

Just having great fun trying to remove these from the van, 4 or 5 sprays of wd40 over a period of weeks and have only managed to get one of using molegrips and pliers. They sort of weld themselves to the metal of the valve. My advice and also that of the local tyre depot - stick to plastic.
