It has 15.1lt. I am solo with no plans to change. Does anyone use this HWS and do you reckon 15.1lts is enough. Lookin...

Van has been fine to date and having fun. Last night when connected to mains pressure water the tank filler started to leak. Obviously the tank had back filled somehow and was overflowing. Thinking a faulty non return valve maybe between the 12 v pump and the pressure pipes? Van has two fresh water tan...

Maybe this has been covered before. I want to install a water pump to do away with the pump action tap in our Jayco Heritage, and have no idea how to go about it. Can someone give me a few pointers as to what type, size and tips on how to approach this please? TIA. Graham

The other (called the x-jack - model 72x10) sells for around $340 and can be inflated with the exhaust or a compressor. Both have a 75 cm lift and ar...

Here is my next questions - a touchy matter! On the way to a weekend camp a couple of weeks ago & knowing that there was no water available, I filled both tanks (90L each) & with all the messages about weight lately, I weighed my single axle van. It was 100Kg over the ATM weight. We carried only eno...

Hi I am refurbishing my '84 Coaster Bus and have a couple of questions. I want to put in a Thetford C200 toilet, does anyone know how much water it uses per flush?
