Diesel heater power source.
(Preview)
Hi all. My caravan solar regulator instructions say I should connect all devices to the regulator.
The new diesel heater instructions say I should connect straight to the battery.
Is either of these a more suitable option?
Thanks.

Compressor fridge only works on 240v - is it wired wrong?
(Preview)

My guess is that is is not wired to the battery correctly but that seems a strange thing to do. Or possible a fuse b...

Changing Suburban 240V thermostat
(Preview)
Water heater works well on gas but only warm on 240V. It was suggested that replacing the 240 V thermostat should fix it. The manual for our model SW6DEA doesn't actually show a part number for a thermostat, just the thermostat cover.
Has anyone changed one of these before who could give me some tips?

I have a major problem with the 12v Carefree awning (length 4.5mt) on my 11yr-old Jayco Conquest motorhome. It 'reluctantly and noisily' extends out only about a half-metre and then no further.

Breaksafe Series 6000 battery changeout

Can anyone tell me how to changeout the battery in my Breaksafe 6000 system. I am assuming that it is the internal battery that is shot as no matter how long I leave it in charge, the the test light stays on red when pressed. Additionally there is a slight buzzing sound coming from the box.
