More DIY Repairs Required

Marvellous, more problems🤬🤬.
New Visionplus tv booster working fine👏👏
But, Whale water inlet flap finally fractured. Not bad for 12 years. Luckily found a cream replacement flap for a fiver. However fitting is far from straight forward . The new flap can only be once the entire socket is removed. Needs careful removal and thorough cleaning and resealing with RV61. Whoever designs these plastic things to be so difficult to repair replace must have something missing upstairs!
Add to that the shower waste pipe is blocked. Will see what I can do tomorrow with some flexi probes and /or chemical drain pipe cleaner. Failing that it may have to be a new pipe. More lying on my back🤪🤪

sorry to hear of the glitches. Drain cleaners aren’t what they used to be since acids were removed from general sale. But the positive is that lying on your back eases the load on your knees.

Dusty the more things go wrong , to be expected but on that note taking ours to my caravan repairer in the morning there a fault on the toilet flush it not working

Had a blocked pipe, pored some neat Elson blue down, you know, the one with Formaldehyde in, cleaned pipe after a few days.
Use a bit of bleach, regularly now..

I think you will see more and more caravans being fitted with these new easy glid flaps, and maybe they will be less prone to breaking if less force is needed to open them.

Each year I try to push mains pressure water down all the wastes. It does remove some residue. I hold the hose over the outlets and seal it in position best I can with an old towel. The worst that could happen is a joint may push apart but it hasn’t happened yet. Easy enough to push back on.

You will need some patience then and perhaps a good book while filling it up.

A committed fisherman like yourself, will have lots of patience then.
