Can anyone advise why my Truma Boiler model B10/B14 seems to cut out on either gas or 240V and needs to be turned off - wait for 5 minutes and turned back on again for the unit to heat up for one cycle and turn back off again? I have an Winnebago Esperance 2010 model. Thanks

Gee, it is difficult for me to work out where and what the wiring does on this van. The 240 v charger charges the house battery when plugged into power. There is an AC lead from the charger that plugs into a double socket, the fridge also plugs into this socket. The charger was showing 5 amps and it did not m...

The first one we took out was kept by the people we got the new one from, as an example of how bad they can get. The one we just replaced was pretty badly corroded, and almost worn or eaten away near the bolt at the top. ...

We want to buy annex walls to make a complete annex with our dometic roll out awning. What do we need, such as anti-flap kit and extra rafter ? Also have had a look at some annex wall kits on the net, they are made of polyester rather than canvas. Got doors both ends and plenty of big windows at around $1400 do...

I was not happy with the answers I received yesterday, so I was back into research mode today, and I found that there are regulations applying to shackles, basically the breaking limit of EACH shackle must exceed 1.5 times the ATM of the towed trailer.
