Any ideas about load levellers
(Preview)
We have a Ford Ranger XLT. The ford salesman said that Ford didn't recommend levellers as it would interfere with the ESC. Has anyone had any experience with load levellers and ESC? -- Edited by simonp on Thursday 6th of March 2014 03:23:53 PM

How to wire fairlane to run a thumper in the boot.
(Preview)
I would like to install wiring to run a thumper in the boot of my fairlane. I guess I need heavy wiring and that it needs to come directly from the battery under the bonnet. Is there a wiring diagram or can someone guide me through this. You have been so helpful with all my other queries. Cheers Mim

Light Switch 240v
(Preview)
Having just purchased a van, I find that the 240v light does not work. I checked the light out with a couple of light bulbs that are OK and it would not come on. I suspect the switch.

Thetford porta-potti
(Preview)
Hi All, I guess this is technical. I have a new Thetford 365, how long does the napisan solution last in the bottom tank if left unused? If I carried the Thetford around for 3-4 weeks unused would it still be okay or would I have to replace solution or add a bit more napisan? Thanks

I know there's a zillion threads about caravan TV antennas on the forum but I've been checking various Wineguard models lately at fairly big bucks, plus more for installation. I'm not a TV tragic.
