Thanks to all the replys. Went out today and tried lighting fridge, again same thing, ingnites and stays alight for 30 sec's or so then goes out showing error code 9. Though this time stayed alight after about the 6/7 trys, and cooled fridge right down after an hour even though 'van is well off...

Hi All I have an Ace Award Firestar, which this year we are putting on a permanant pitch with no EHU I have tried the fridge on gas for the first time and have problems keeping it alight. It fires up and stays alight for maybe half a minite before going out. I keep repeating this for about...

Can't see a major problem with using one and certainly not dry rot (which is not dry by the way) apart from the cost. We have always placed a few bowls of salt around the van, opened all the lockers and stood cusions etc on their side. Check salt bowls as they can fill with water Never had...

Hi Easyvanner Thanks for the reply, we do run a 22" tv (whoops) but only for a couple of hours in the evening. Just wondered if the battery needed topped in the afternoon would the genny put as much in as the panels? Have just ordered LED bulbs before I read your post Regards Mike

Hi All Just got back from a few days away to try out running on battery only with a solar panel. Was allowed to use a hook up pitch in case things went pear shaped! The problem I had was running the van in 12v mode. The digital panel above the door would not switch on with out hook up...
