Old Mate has a 2012 Retreat Macquarie with a Dometic 3way, 2door fridge. (Can't remember model no)There is no power to the fridge when connected to 240 volt or connected to car. Large 15 amp fuse at fridge base seems Ok. What should we check?

Planning our first lap and I am not impressed with what I read about Yulara. Want to go there of course and see the rock, but not at all convinced about staying there, even overnight.

After communicating with dunmowin for the past few weeks about travelling in Tasmania we were able to meet face to face. It was great to enjoy a nice 'Happy Hour' with Lorraine and John. One of the great things about this Forum is meeting new people who share the same love of travel that we do.

Setting up the drain hoses on the van, the kit included a 25mm connector and a 38mm connector. Not taking too much notice of the maze of pipe work at that stage, I brought the 25mm OK, then went searching for the 38mm, and guess what the only supplier was Jayco. So $75 poorer I went to fit, but before I unwrap...
