Thanks for reading: Divorce has left me with the camper, but not the funds to have a dealer repair it.....

>I believe I need new gas(?) struts for my Heiki roof window - where's the best place to buy them?

>The two directional roof-mounted air extractor has stopped working, anyone know if there are fuses anywhere or can I just drop a new motor unit from the top - where would I buy one

> Three way fridge, the green (mains) and gas "on" lights both work, but the little red light (battery) does not illuminate. Is this likely to be a blown bulb, or perhaps suggest that the fridge doesn't work when switched to "battery". It does stay a little cooler, but not very!

> the small bind over the sink - one of the ratchet rods has come loose from the centre handle (you squeeze the handle to move the rods inwards so the blind will lift) - it doesn't look like it's easily repairable (?) so where might I get a new blind (the blind not the flyscreen) and is it fairly simple to fix.

Cheers

Martin

hi and welcome to the FUN....


only thing i can help with is the fridge.

do you mean the 12v doesnt light when running the engine or when you are pitched?

it only lights when the engine is running, not designed to light when on site.

the rods in the blinds are fixable but i'v not done one so not sure how.

Your fridge should only work on 12volts when the engine is running.

Hi PJ Thanks. The answer is - it doesn't light when the engine is running....

it could be the bulb but its more likely to be the relay controlling the fridge if it doesnt seem to get very cold.
its usually near the engine battery along with the charge relay for the leisure battery.
usually just a regular square relay....give it a tap with the engine running and see if the light comes on.
if not you'll need a voltmeter to check the relay output first then work your way back to the fridge checking for power.
