Hi So just a few questions about the 12v 3-way fridge operation and wiring. 1. While free camping I tried to use the 12v but nothing happened. I have since found out that its not possible to use on 12V only. 2. I noticed that I have thick black and white cables in my 7-pin plug. I would imagine it is for the fri...

So I want to get the centre mount jockey wheel. My A-frame does not have the cross-section on it. So it would be okay if I took it in to get welded in? The only other issue would be to reroute the handbrake cables as they currently first run down the centre and then out to the sides. TIA

Amazing how the little things can be overlooked and that could become a major drama. when you retire or leave the van or RV it makes sense to turn the water pump off. A chap near us left his van yesterday to do a bit of fishing, and for some reason a water line inside the van became disconnected or cracked an...
