The flush pump runs dry and the glass sight level shows empty so it is reasonable to assume that the tank filler is blocked and the tank is empty. Has anyone had a similar problem and/or know how to get access to t...

To Paint or not to Paint
(Preview)

Fast forward to today and the Gal paint peeling and bugger me if it doesn't have a Galvanised Frame, a quick whip with pressure washer and more is exposed.

Fold out double steps using just one step
(Preview)
I am enquiring about the fixed bolt on double steps at the van entry door. I am wanting to know if a set of these double steps exist where you have the choice of opening out just the first step rather than both steps every time. This would be very handy on sloping sites.

RV Water Tank Drain Relocation The fresh water tanks on my Traveller caravan are mounted transversly, one between the dual axles and one just forward of them to minimize changes to the centre of gravity between empty and full.

Flick mixer tap
(Preview)
I have a Smev cooktop and stove combo in my van. The flick mixer tap has started leaking and in my opinion needs replacing. The question is can I replace it with one purchased from Bunnings provided its the same diameter hole or do I have to go via a caravan parts supplier.
