  MotorhomeFun — Authority: 164
  Hi, I have the chance of buying one of these with a 3 month warranty. Its used, but cheap. Does anybody know if these are any good?? Thanks.

• Fiat Ductao 1996 Gear change

  
  MotorhomeFun — Authority: 164
  This may sound silly, but when should you change gear on these vehicles? We have just got a Hymer motorhome and the Fiat 2.5Td engine seems fine, except when we push up hills the enngine starts missing and we have to change gear. Is there a governor on the gear ratios? We have read all about the 5th gear problems with ...

• Blind leading the blinds

  
  MotorhomeFun — Authority: 164
  I have vertical concertina blinds on my Autotrail Mohican. One window in particular (the longest one) causes a problem due to the blind not retracting easily into its storage at the base; it tends to crimp up and buckle. Any one else have this problem and have you found a way around it?

  MotorhomeFun — Authority: 164
  Hi all, Further to my other thread about the ongoing power issues, I think it would help if I knew what these two relay/solenoids do and how... If you look at the picture and recognise the setup please tell me what each of them do and how they are triggered. FWIW I reckon one of them may be to do with the battery ...

  MotorhomeFun — Authority: 164
  I decided yesterday to flush out my fresh water tank on our Hymer 564, and so filled it up until the LCD display said it was 100% full. I then went inside the motorhome and turned on the taps.

• Squeaks and Screeches

  
  MotorhomeFun — Authority: 164
  My base vehicle is a 2009 Ducato 2.2 100 Multijet. It has done 6,000miles. On a cold start there is a screeching from the engine bay that then disappears when warmed up a bit. The brakes also squeal when coming to a standstill. These are of course covered by warranty but I would like to be able to tell them what I ...

• RV: No 12v on hookup

  
  MotorhomeFun — Authority: 164
  Hi, RV is on hookup and my understanding is that this means that all the 12v stuff is powered from the converter and the charger will also charge the battery. Just gone out to the rig and not only is the battery flat but the 12v systems are not working either. :Sad: What (and how) should I start testing? Bryan
