In our case, heading your way in early May! ;) Lock yer doors!

See also, Liquid Spring. No experience with either. As I know from the Sahara, low tire pressure can lead to tire failure. :cautious:

Reminds me of an old Cold War joke. Guy arrives in Moscow, asks which car to buy. Told to get a Lada (or some other brand.) It immediately breaks. "Thought you said this was a good car!" "Let me show you ..." Russian takes hammer, hits car, it runs again. In my case, it was the starter that...

Would love to have my Total Composites box on this. (Assuming, assuming, assuming.) https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/7414488858590446/

All kinds of stuff breaks. What is the difference between an old hose and a new sensor? Or a windscreen. Some of this is simply luck of the draw. The Howes drove a modern 3/4 ton Chevrolet through sixty countries and broke just about every thing that could break. I have spent a ton of money...

Scholars differ, but my quick answer would be "no." Understanding that my truck has spent several years traveling in the US and is now in Europe, I would go with something else. Some comments: -- Parts for a 1990 MB truck are an issue, even in Europe. There are lots of work arounds, but very...

Neil, would love any tips. Without a UK bank account we have been unable to buy any of the magic boxes for tolls. Credit card worked in France, most of the time. 😉

Dude! If you can handle the UK, the EU is easy. “The Wandering Bird “ website (https://www.wandering-bird.com/) has lots of tips for UK motorhomers. Bottom line, every thing is wider and taller. 😝

Rumor has it that Sandy's son did not do a great job with the company. We actually visited the factory to see if the C-Head would fit out tiny bath. It did and had the great advantage over the Nature's Head that you could lift the bucket out without needing a cover - it fit through the doors...

Fixed cassette odor by installing a composting toilet. EXPANDED: Had a Natures Head on our first camper. Next one had a cassette. Though, "How bad can it be?" Replaced it with a C-Head. Still have the C-Head. Still use it. Still no odor.

Boy, that REALLY looks like the Houghton, which is one of the more efficient 110v units. I wonder ...

Makes sense. Start with a BCDC 1250D and upgrade if/when you need.

FWIW, a friend who also uses REDARC toys reports that REDARC suggested a Manager 30 paired with a BCDC1250D for his new camper - to give some 80A of charge. I have NOT tested this and would not attempt it without an iron clad assurance from your dealer that they will take things back should it...

Short answers - always better too big than too small. Your 1.5Kw inverter will soon grow to a 3 Kw inverter, your cooler will become a fridge, and fans will blossom and thus your 150Ah battery will be replaced with a 270Ah. So get the BCDC1250D and also look at the "Manager" line for more...

Had to bang my head against the wall a few times before I fully got this! (And I lived in 220v countries most of my life!) By definition, an inverter/charger cannot be multi-voltage, as it passes power directly via a transfer switch. That would send 220v to your 110v appliances. (Or 110v to...
