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.
