Gday... This pic was posted on another thread and I thought it prudent to provide information about what is considered the correct way to attach the breakaway cable to the vehicle. Attaching it in the method shown in this pic is pointless and will negate the reason for the breakaway system in the event...

When turned off for overnight - I could hear a drip-drip sound... We checked and could find no leak from usual water pipes/washing machi...

Hi I am a newbie but today was just a shocker. I have had my van in storage for 8 months and as advised had drained the two 90ltr undervan tanks . Today I flushed them and then shut the tank values off and filled them as I had done many times with the hose . Much to my surprise there was a very loud bang one of the w...
