We have a recently installed Webasto diesel heater which we are really pleased with. However with spring just a few days away I am thinking about the summer months & the heater laying idle. I am aware that the recommendation is to run the unit at least once a month at full belt for 20 minutes or so. Bu...

Can any one advise some one in the South Brisbane area that does repairs to electronic...

Hi. We're new to the world of caravanning. So new in fact that we don't own one yet! Anyway. I'm reading up on the accessories for vans including solar power. They all seem to run separate systems. Ie. 12v and 240v. How come they don't have systems configured like your house that is. The solar PV and i...
