Truma Air cons
(Preview)
Hi, I'm looking into air for my Jayco Freedom poptop 18' single beds. I'm not sure if it;s fitted with a H frame for rooftop install. How can I tell? Also Truma under bed aircons. Are they any good. One service agent had a different name for them. So I'm asking the ones who know. Cheers Rob.

Doing your own vehicle service.
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
Is there anything illegal about doing your own vehicle service. Are auto mechanics registered, and do they have a number to quote when signing for a service, if they don't do the work on behalf of a registered garage. Now that I am holed up with no where to go, am wondering about doing this work myself.

Safety Chains....again!
(Preview)
Doubt that any of these safety-chain setups would prevent the drawbar from hitting the road if the van parted company with the car? And one of them costs mega-dollars,for little gain.Cheers. P.S Still trying to work out how to attach photos from my iPad?

Towball Weight - Just wondering !
(Preview)
As I was checking tyre pressures, and as I kicked the last tyre, I wondered how the manufacturer worked out tow ball weight. My thoughts were that since the suspension on our van is a separate assembly, it would make sense, that this assembly remained free to move until construction had finished, then...

HWS problem
(Preview)
This has been probably done before, but asking for a mate who has a New Age van and his HWS (Swift, I think) is working how he describes as fluttering, on gas only. It does not fire up with a normal boom, but seems to go up and down in strength. Any ideas? maybe the Regulator? Cheers Bob

Cost for service
(Preview)
Just want an idea for the cost of 6speed auto trans. service for my car, getting some wildly different quotes from the centers I,ve asked for a service, understand that a flush is more costly but would probably go this way because of towing,

Its that time, I have to get the ute serviced. It just burns me up inside, knowing I have to pay so much to get so little done. The only reason to have it done is to get the stamp in the service log book for resale value. I have the list of the items they are supposed to check, and I know it doesn't happen. There's...
