Is that because you're assuming the garage is attached to the house?

I wo nt be phoning the fire brigade. It's fine if I keep it turned off at the bottle..it's only the regulator that's faulty. I've had the thing in the garage for about five years, came with an old motorhome I no longer own. I think this bottle of gas and I are destined to live out our lives...

Yep, we'll be off to Sandringham on 12th. We're confined to the school hols but since this is the second week of the hols for us, would be daft to miss the chance. Can not wait..although it's a shame about the facilities block being closed as our shower is nt very great. Ah well, better than...

Thanks all, Recycling centre wo nt take it. Like I say, I can get a new regulator on Amazon, but I do nt want to lug this oversized bottle around. Hissing is bad, it is just the regulator though, bottle itself sound. Here's a pic

Hi there, I have a full 9kg bottle of propane in my garage that I want to get rid of. It's a French bottle and I think the regulator is faulty (it's hissing). I could possibly get a new regular from Amazon in France, but to be honest the bottle is a bit big and I'd sooner just get rid of it...

Thanks all, It does n't get hot to be honest, maybe because the fan is doing its job? Not sure. It's in a compartment if it's own under the seats and I do nt store anything else in there so it has plenty of air. The fan runs with nothing turned on, although tbh I have n't tried turning the...

Thanks for your reply. I've only had the van since Jan and it's always had a noisy fan. I replaced the battery because I fitted a mover so I needed a bigger one, but it was noisy before and noisy after..

Hi there, I have a 2003 Lunar Chateau 450. The fan on my battery charger runs constantly when I'm on EHU and is too noisy! I've a had a good read around this subject but I still can't decide what to do. The battery is only a few months old and the fans runs even after we've been on charge for...

Ah great. Yes, thank you ..found the fuse and all now back to normal service. For any other Lunar Chateau owners it's behind the seating in a small fuse box near the battery charger. Opposite side of the van to the battery box. The blown fuse was the one nearest the caravan wall. I must've blown...

Might not have been very clear in my first post, but the battery itself is fine. The motor mover still works without issue. I do nt have a zig unit. The Lunar Chateau electrics are pretty basic, no control panel at all. Just a switch to isolate the 240v . Sure it's some sort of fuse but I do...

Morning! Currently away in our van enjoying the great weather. Slight problem is my 12v system has given up the ghost. I fitted a motor mover just before we came away..all works great, so no problem with the battery. Everything works no probs if the 240v hook up, but we have a bit of an...

Ah, glad I was nt put off by the phone conversation. Saw the van today and the crack is in the bottom corner, looks like it's been due to a ding rather than a stress crack. It's been bodged but it only affects the front locker, so no worries about it causing water ingress. All damp readings were...

Thanks all, Yes I've got a damp meter so will definitely spend some time checking everywhere. I'm guessing winter conditions mean the readings would be a bit higher anyway. but it'll pick up any obvious areas. Emerson, I'm with you in spirit having run a 1980s motorhome until a couple of...

Hi all, Just about to embark on caravanning after many years of old campervans. Expanding family means towing is now the only economically viable option. I'm looking for a compact 4 berth with bunks and love the look of the Lunar Chateau, saw a nice one at the weekend but it was more money...
