Is there an app so I can save this site on my phone

Hello and Welcome .
There isn’t an app for the forum but it works well on a mobile phone .
What make and model of Motorhome do you have ? The Fiat is a popular base van for many companies

Canna help with the app but welcome anyway
You say you have a Ducato but that is only the base vehicle.. Who buiLt the motorhome bit ( or converted it ? )
For instance, we have an Autotrail Chieftain on a Ducato chassis
A bit more info might help us help you

Welcome.
Some first advise. As a new member you only get 5 free posts, so you have used 3 already.
Full membership is £15 a year.

It would be better to state the make and model of your van, Fiat ducato is just the base vehicle, as Jaws has said.
Most fitted items like fridge, cooker, heating are common to many other makes and models and even caravans.
Search or look through the threads here on the forum and i am sure you will find the answers.
Ask any specific question and someone will be along to help.

Welcome Claire you will find instructions for most items as a pdf by googling. If you have a self build it might be best to contact the previous owner. Enjoy your Motorhome

Welcome to the mad house.
New myself so cannot help. Lots on here that can/will help if you give them the correct MoHo details.

Welcome from Ciren!

What Motorhome do you have - for example, ours is an Elddis Majestic on a Peugeot Boxer base vehicle - Elddis are the Motorhome builder, and Peugeot the base vehicle manufacturer?

Sign up membership - it is REALLY worth it. I did 2 years ago and the group has been so helpful.
If you tell us where in the world you live you might ave a member from here happy to take a look and get you started on basic things like heating, battery etc.... I have already done this for a friend of mine (when Covid restrictions allow it).

Have a look at the makers name on any appliance then download the appropriate manual, being female you will read and understand it. Real men ignore instructions until too late.

 

[Mountain man]

B871 is correct not that far me .

Welcome.

Firstly, as others have said, join up, pay the fees, you'll get the value for money in no time.

I was in a similar position to yourself, the proud owner of a second hand motorhome, no manuals, instuctions or having a clue.

Fun and its membership certainly came through.

My vehicle was like many, based on a Fiat Ducato as the base vehicle. That area presented few issues as it is just a vehicle and like all you check the water, dip the oil and look at other resevoirs.

However behind the front seats could have been the Space Shuttle.

A little bit of common sense, experimentation, trial and error, got me through the basics.

But there were still lots of mysteries to discover.

Many motohomes, no matter the base vehicle or manufacturer of the habitation (the house on the back) use the same equipment so;

Posting a photo of the heater contols on here enabled a Funster to identify the heating system, name it, give me basic instructions, which were reinforced with additional comments and an Internet search allowed me to download a manufacturers manual.

This method solved many of my poblems and answered querries.

I went right out of my comfort zone and attended a small Funsters meet. I remember Badknee , JockandRita to name just a couple of very experienced motorhomers ventured into my van and helped my with other full and informative desciptions of what did what.

I did contact the motorhome manufacturer. They were not unhelpful but preferred not to deal with customers and referred me to the Dealer network. My local deale was a waste of rations, another was as helpful per hour I was willing to pay for. Eventually I stumbled upon a friendly motorhome dealer and service garage in North Devon, Mullacott Caravans, who were very helpful.

Finally if you go to the Fun, Forum List;
