I thought I must have left the door slightly open or the window not fully up but when it happened again a few days later I feared the worst. I took the patient into a glass and windscreen repa...

We have a power star solar system working lights on our van that has suddenly started to turn off. This also turns off the fridge which is in AC power. Any ideas why this would be happening? Camping at the beach and hoping to find an electrician soon. Thanks.

This I believe would render the bumper bar crumple zone useless and compromise safety. The spare tyre is stored behind the tongue and this limits the length of the tongue. /Use...
