Hi pull the flush Knob off of the toilet, it will come off, Once off the bellows cylinder is underneath, Push this down and turn it anticlockwise, it will then come out Remove the cap and housing underneath The hose connected to the housing can now be seen connected to the tank...

Hi gary, yes you are perfectly right. I didn't go into the battery/electronics locker construction, as it didn't have any bearing on the point I was trying to make at the time, but you are correct. The locker was the original spec fitted by the boat manufacturer, which was of...

Colin I'm sorry but you don't seem to read things properly!! I never said I had ever fitted these to a caravan, read my statement again. I said they were fitted to the boat, and that I have fitted dozens of these, They were fitted to horseboxes, and boats. It clearly states on the...

Hi I have fitted dab radios in motorhomes, and you have to fit a dab aerial as the fitting in the back of the radio for dab reception is different, but the standard aerial will fit into another "standard Arial socket in the back of the radio, for normal analogue reception, so therefore you...

Colin, Please read the following link These are the batteries I mentioned, I have used dozens of them. http://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/225ah-trojan-t105-narrowboat-battery/

the forum is not about "one up man ship" but open discussions about the question asked? your comments were of "one up man ship", and you never gave a valid reason for your remark I asked you to tell me how you knew your comments were correct, or are they just your opinion. and still you...

Interestingly,, how do you know you have never had a multi stage charger in a caravan, and do you realise what would happen if you didn't?

no my mistake there are two more wires, which must power the fridges electronics

which means the fridge is powered all the time, as there are only one set of positive and negative wires to the fridge according to the wiring diagram plus the mains wires, the only control is the fridges own control 12v knob?

Hi Colin, You are correct, I have just checked the wiring diagrams on Baileys website, and your model a 2005, powers the fridge directly from the "s" socket pin 7 But on the 2007 models the fridge is wired to a 4 pin plug on the electrical motherboard, and the "s" socket is wired to another...

maybe it is a function that can be used and not a modification, I would be interested to hear if yours works in the same way as my friends do, as your manual more or less says that this function is available, I must admit I wish my van had this function, as they were able to keep their fridges...

this is definitely not the way their vans work, as I said I have seen it for myself, you are saying that both the vans have been modified to do the same thing, in the same way, at some point in their life, before the current owners bought them, which makes you wonder how many vans if this is...

Hi all, reading back through this discussion, it seems the usual thing is happening, which is, someone asks a reasonable question, and sooner or later everyone is discussing something completely different, and the question never gets answered. johnandrew70 asked if he could run his fridge...

Hi it depends on how old the caravan is this is a 2007 swift challenger model which may have a caravan or car supply switch, later models are fitted with a habitation relay that does exactly what you describe and cuts off the caravan battery when the car is connected

Hi it would be a bad idea to buy a simple car battery charger from aldi or similar, as these chargers are basically booster charges for small car batteries. They will over charge the battery eventually, and cause it to boil, as they don't switch off. unless they are leisure battery chargers...
