I’m going to order one soon but just get one without the gauges and compressor. I already have the same compressor off my RAC tyre inflator and just plan to pump them up and leave them. Won’t be using them for levelling.

What a Shower

 ·  Posted: 16.06.2020  ·  #577
On recommendation I have bought one of these off E-Bay and show it on the Ireland E-Bay
https://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html…_PrefLoc=1

UK
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.h…g&_sacat=0

Cheap as chips means that you only have to set the shower temp once, the off/on button on the one I bought worked great under greater household pressure so should be OK in the van and of course does mean that when going for a long sit down and ponder and resolve all the worlds problems when turning/twisting round you dont get wet from the dam shower being switched on.

Now that gave me a good laugh, open the item description, scroll down to Features and read Jetting

The effluent mode doesn't sound appropriate at all. But whatever you're into. I don't judge.

hahaha.

Edit. And it does sound like a nice shower head. Wonder how well it works with the camper water pump?

Just bought a spare cassette toilet, talked about it for some time now.
First time to buy anything from the Caravan and Motorhome club.
£85 + £7 post. Not a bad price.
Like someone else said here it was cheaper to buy the fresh up set which includes a new seat.
Now I need to make a bracket for storing it under the van.

Hi Augharan,

I’ve bought a second cassette as well because of the kids. I’m looking at making something myself to store it under the van or else buy the one from Fiamma. Let me know how you get on?

There is a Fiammi one, well there used to be. Just be aware when it's full and you need to put it in or take it out from under the van, keep in mind the weight and the access.

Found it...

Timber Ridge Wagon

Got it last week from Amazon and I’m only testing it today, amazing and effortless for carrying just about everything we need.

Absolutely brilliant idea, Rosi carries a we book in our camper and when we are away for extended breaks everything is noted down ,it is really surprising how much it matters when you look back at a later time.

just treated the MH to a set of 4 new shiny ear brake discs/drums, 6 sets of brake pads and a brake caliper. Thank goodness I didn't need handbrake pads, that's 4 more sets. I need a lie down
