Tainted water
(Preview)
We have a Jayco Silverline we purchased new 12 months ago and water from the taps has a plastic/chemical taint to it obviously coming from the plastic plumbing pipes. Does anyone know how to get rid of the taint? The water filter gets rid of it but that's a slow way of filling a kettle.

(Preview)
Can anyone advise where I may be able to purchase an Owner's User Manual, (and a workshop manual) for a 2002 Toyota Coaster Diesel Auto. All the useless company we purchased from could supply, was a small owners manual for a MANUAL gearbox model, completely irrelevant for our vehicle. Thank you.

Has anyone had any experience:knowledge of these? It seems to tick all the boxes as multi purpose use. It even comes with a solar panel and air compressor. Do you think you could run a small TV off one? I found one on gumtree for $250 which seems quite reasonable. Thanks
