    Hi. I too purchased fridge vent covers and read the same instructions as you. Our continental motorhome has a small oven above the fridge (it is actually above the freezer which is above the fridge) as do many newer models. This is the reason for the instruction. Mike ps aren't they...

    Mercedes ML / GL 320 fuel consumption

Never did the plug/unplug thing, did this with the engine switched off in both cases. Does depend on...

Good sites to visit local points of interest. Multi-award winning chippy in Stonehaven and the lighthouse museum in Fraserburgh...

    Gas Bottles

    Hi. Changed to Safefill 2 years ago. Almost paid for. Fill up before you leave and you will never run out. Do your homework to find nearest station. No more dangerous than filling a converted car. Same connections. I have always asked before refilling and never been refused. The way to go. I...

    Which gas

    Hi. Use a Safefill cylinder and refill with autogas. Do your homework (where the nearest autogas station is) before you leave home and you will never run out of gas. Cylinder is almost paid for with savings. Some stations are selling for 51pence a litre!! Each to their own. I know some decry...

The connectors used to fill are identical to those used on a vehicle lpg modification, otherwise filling...

    Gaslow LPG system in caravan

    Hi. I bought from Safefill two years ago and am very satisfied with the cylinder. You can see how much is left ( by nudging the cylinder) and refilling is easy. The supplier refunded my £60 deposits for my calorlites and so it cost me £90 and has almost paid for itself. Yes, you will need...

    Gas in Europe

    Hi Barry, do you have a 27mm regulator or adaptor, I don't know how old your outfit is with regard to EN 1949 (30mbar). I know that the 27mm adaptor will fit 'Le cube' gas bottles in France though I don't know the dimensions, it may not fit in your gas locker. You can rent and get most of your...
