Caravan clearance lights

I've had to replace two clearance lights (the small orange ones) within three months of each other, one on each side of the van. The van is only three years old. I had a previous van for ten years and never changed one. What have others experienced?

Check These Out
(Preview)
I found some really good videos on various road trips on You Tube. I find that most of the ones I have watched before all seem to revolve around some clown thinking he is a media star accompanied by the wife that talks through her nose and the kids named Therryn and Constance. These ones I have been watchin...

RE: Changing 3 way absorption fridge to compressor unit
(Preview)
Hello all, Has anyone with a Windsor Seka Pop Top changed their 3 way Dometic fridge to a VitriFrigo 150i compressor unit? We are having a cooling system blockage in the Dometic for the second time and seeing as we will not be using the caravan for free camping we feel a compressor unit is the way to go. Ple...

Solar blankets - a rip off?
(
1 2 3
)
(Preview)
I'm looking at buying 200W to 300W of solar blanket but it appears to be a minefield. E-bay feedback on many vendors strongly suggest they are simply lying about the blanket's output often suggesting twice, or more!, what the blanket is capable of. Kings (4WDSupacentre) who I though were OK receive *...

How are towing capacities determined?
(

Here are some examples which, to my mind, are inconsistent and/or contradictory:- 2008 Mitsubishi 380 - kerb weight 1,665 kgs - engine power 175 kw / 343 nm - towing capacity 1,600 kgs 2...

Woolworth mobile phone plans - worth a look, I suggest
(Preview)
I've just switched my phone to a Woolworth plan simply because they are offering a 10% discount on shopping once a month. I have been a Woolworth shopper for years and prefer them to Coles and they are generally one hell of a lot cheaper than IGAs; I spend around $400 to $500 per month on food (I eat well :) )...
