Van batteries charged by car?
(

)
(Preview)
Can you tell me if the caravan batteries are meant to be recharged while driving? Thought they did but ours doesn't and we don't know why? Don't really want to spend every 3rd night at a caravan park if we don't need to.

Gas regulator hose
(Preview)
G'day gas people. I bought a new gas regulator and hose but I need to get the old one off first. I've tried undoing the nuts with a pair of spanners but I can't shift them. Any suggestions or tips? I'm not sure about which way the threads go either. They appear to have been there a helluva long time.

Links using an android tablet
(Preview)
About a year ago I upgraded to an Asus laptop, and although it's top quality, it's also very hungry! Charging draws 360watts. So I've added an android 10.1" tablet to the repertoire, but I can't work out how to copy and paste a link, it always just comes out as normal text. Anyone out other who can te...

Garmin Nuvi 1450 LMT.
(Preview)
Bought a Garmin 1450 a few months ago on special with free map updates. Not a patch on the old Tom Tom, maps are poor or non existent and it's now taken to rebooting randomly, a process that takes a number of minutes. Guess it's the old story, you get what you pay for, back to the Tom Tom for me. -- Edited by Sa...

I have purchased a Powertech 380w inverter for my van. The only convenient place I can find to mount the inverter is under an overhead cupboard. Is it ok to mount the inverter upside down? Cheers Pete
