My heater is a Truma and for some strange reason will heat the water whilst using the gas but now refuses to work using the mains power.

Thought I should ask in case it circumvents a problem happening. The water pump in the van works fine, but has for a few days, when taps are turned on been chattering loudly and causing solid reverberations through the pipes. Sounds like a jackhammer in the shower cubicle. Can also feel it on taps arou...

Hi all.. we are having a new van built and including Lithium batteries (was blown away by the price..) Anyway, I am wondering, during the van not being used, which could be months at a time (as I am still working), will I need to put a trickle charge through them left on until we us the van again..?

Hi everyone. The new Foxtel IQ4 Box requires two coaxial cables (not sure why). Does anyone know if it will work one one cable (obviously at a reduced capacity to do some actions).
