Moth, not very long is the answer. Most caravan 12v fridges draw about 8amp (can be more) so even with a fully charged battery it will not cool efficiently after about 7-8 hours. I suspect your little fridge will not draw so much - but I doubt it will last more than 12-15 hours. Has it got a...

LB, The deposit was raised from

cris, what you need is a second home with the mortgage interest payments covered by the tax payer. Oh! I forgot your not an MP are you.

When the Monopolies Board was set up Lord Sutch pointed out this was unfair as there was only one of them. On a sombre note it is sad that somebody who brought much needed humour into politics should have died so tragedly.

The results of the budget are: cars registered before 1 March 2001 are: 1549cc and below

Meant 170g/km of course.

Martin, the RAC thought 250g/km for new vehicles. There are of course many 4x4 well within this limit especially new ones built to European emmission standard IV. Conversely there are lots of cars that have emmissions greater than this. I predict that the level will be a confusion of rates...

If the fuse is not blowing but getting hot then you havn't got a short just drawing curent that is near or on the fuse rating. I presume the feed is for the 12S facilities of the van only and there is no problem without the van connected. A little detective work is required. I do not know how...

Alistaire, There is a very good municipal at Ste Maure de Touraine which is on the A10 approx 30 km south of Tours, within 1km of junction 25 of the A10. It is easy to find being sign posted from all routes and is perfect for a night halt.
