Replacing the Shower Mixer
(Preview)
Well it finally happened .. The shower combo in my Westport Van started spurting water after only 22 years! It seems that the molded 'plastic' plumbing split due to the pressure exerted by screwing the hot water tap too hard to turn it off. With a much increased pressure from a clogged up shower head, a...

Digital Display noise
(Preview)
Hi, I've had my RV for 5 years now, last night I decided to turn off the digital display as the light was annoying me. When I turned it back on this morning, it gave a very loud high pitch noise that won't stop, so that I have had to turn it off. Unfortunately, that means that I cannot switch my LED lights on now...
