My tyres are usually in a shady spot but even in the UK my wipers take a pounding from UV. I havenā€™t had to replace the wipers for 5 years since I started using UV covers on them, previously 2 or 3 years seemed to have them splitting.
I cover my tyres when on the drive and remove the wipers and put them inside the van.

May i ask what that does? :unsure:
The Battery Master from Van Bitz keeps your engine starter battery safely topped up by linking it to the leisure battery. Its automatic one-way action will pass a small trickle charge to the engine battery whenever its voltage becomes less than a defined level below that of the leisure battery, so that the engine battery is kept in the best condition for easy starting and a long service life.

Since 1996, had Elddis/Swift/Rapido/Rimor/Chausson MHs. Autocruise/Globecar PVCs/Compactline i-138
Just treated myself to a new laptop as my HP 255 G7 was getting a bit 'clunky' and noisy (it does get a lot of hammer!), so decided on a change of manufacturer and this time I've gone for a Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15.6in Ryzen 5 16GB 512GB. Lovely keyboard, better than the slightly lower spec Ā£399 HP I tried at Currys which only had 8gb of RAM:

It was discounted at Argos to Ā£379 and as I used a load of vouchers I had (rewards for taking out life insurance, bank accounts etc) in reality only cost me the payments for those policies for a short length of time which was around Ā£60.00 plus Ā£61.49! :p Can't complain at that. :giggle: However they've just reduced it by another Ā£20. :cautious:


I Just got to get it all set-up now ... might let hubby do it for me as he likes messing about with computers! :giggle:

Good news, I got in touch with Argos about them making a Ā£20 discount on the laptop on the day I collected it and they agreed to reduce cost of mine to match it. :giggle:

MH newbie but we owned a caravan previously.
Bought and fitted a new diesel filter assembly for our Peugeot based motorhome. Took all of twenty minutes to swap the old for the new. May now dismantle the old one and see if it's repairable for use in an emergency. My next purchase will be the service tool!

If you mean the one that you clamp in the vice, I have a genuine half price one which I will be selling at the Swaffham Bash if you or anyone you know is attending,?

Was a Newbie but getting the hang of it now.
Broke an all plastic snow foam lance when doing the MH at weekend.
Bought a brass one to go on Karcher - have done two cars with it with very good results. Now wanting to get MH out from storage to give it a go.

Martech semi-air suspension kit for our Ducato. Adapting it to keep each side independent, rather than them being linked together.
That's what I did via solenoid valves permanently connected compressor double digital air pressure gauge and 2 dpdt momentary switches each side can be raised or lowered at the flick of a switch on the dash

Ideal! I went for the Marcle Leisure manifold with gauge instead - allows equalising both sides and/or filling one independently of the other. Although, having now installed I can see how we could easily fit a compressor and controls in the future if needed.

After reading the tyre cover posts, have just got these from Parrotsol on ebay, who I believe is our own jezport

Bit of a bugger to put on but OK when you get the hang of it. The other side is shaded most of the time, this side gets full sun for half the day, so only bought the two.

Have a look at his ebay store, lots of things you never knew you needed!
