Hi Lee. From what I have found out is, the fuse should be on the fuse board which should be located on the inside front bulk head it is not on the consumer unit. Hope this helps and good luck repairing it. Phil🙂👍

@@lostweekendscaravan Ok thanks Phil, my caravan is the Swift Challenger SE Grande, so I will pull up all the seat cushions from the door side seating, and the fuse box should be at the bulk head, basically behind the front locker wall. Think I remember them all being like a mustard yellow colour. So are these special number fuses, or will just any car fuse work if one is burnt out, so I can repalace it? :)

@@Lee-zg3gx I’m not sure I would imagine it is a spade fuse. It is 25 amp. If it’s not there check the battery cables it may be there. It depends on who the dealership fitted it. Cheers Phil 🙂👍

Hi Michael. I am pleased it worked for you. I am looking extracting the heat with my next one. Thanks Phil.👍🙂

Hi David. Could you send me a link to the ebay fan and i'll have a look. You your new outfit is doing well. Phil👍🙂

Hi. Yes it is not worth half of its price. Going buy a heat extractor fan system I think!. Thanks Phil👍🙂

You are welcome. If things don't work I will say so. No one likes to waste money especially me. Thanks Phil👍🙂

You are welcome. I will say whether an item bought or supplied is any good. Thanks Phil👍🙂

Hi. Thanks I will look at your video. Back from Holland Spain in a few weeks so I want it work for then. Thanks again. Phil

You're so welcome! There are plenty more helpful tips etc on my other videos. Please feel free to share with your friends. Thanks Phil 🙂👍

Hi. Yes you are quite right. They look for shelter in the colder mountains months. Also you have to factor in pitching on grass and wooded areas. They are attracted by food we drop or don’t empty from our bins. The measure I have highlighted also work against ants. Currently away and ant invasion so far. Thanks Phil 🙂👍

Hi yes you are quite right. The salesman neglected to tell me I could have had a larger fuel tank installed at build for not much more 😞. Having said that now the engine has run in a little I am getting a better mpg. I am getting 40mpg when towing which is ok for me. Thanks Phil 🙂👍

@@lostweekendscaravan good to know, thanks. I just bought a 2017 Toyota RAV4 with a 2-litre diesel, only 30,000 miles on the clock, and it can tow up to 2 Tonnes, Ready for our plans in 3 years from now, towing a caravan. They simply Don’t make cars for towing anymore, even the new Toyota RAV4 hybrid top spec can only tow 800 Kgs……….. You are spot-on; if you want to tow a caravan in the future, get a towing car while you can, NOW.

Hi Jane good question once you have set it up as in the video it is the same principle as replacing your cars wheel and then in reverse. Remember it is importance to have caravan attached to your car when jacking up the caravan. Thanks Phil 🙂👍

I've never jacked a car wheel up, so complete novice

Hi Jane it would take too long to explain in words. I will have to make a video on the subject. An alternative would be to join a break down organisation which covers your caravan. Mayday from green flag offers the best policy. Other companies do not have the capacity to tow a caravan and car. Check them out via the caravan club website. Hope this helps. Phil 🙂👍

@@lostweekendscaravan 0:20 so I've looked on my Jack instructions and it says to bring the Jack down I turn the knob on the front of the Jack

@@HitchUpAndTow hi mark I don’t think so but you could email them and ask. Sorry I couldn’t be much help. Phil 🙂👍

Hi Max. Thank you allowing us to review this versatile Sun Canopy. We look forward to what Telta is developing in the future. Many Thanks Phil & Juliet👍🙂

Hi the temperature of the switch was not disclosed in the kit. Personally I think it is a waste of money. I am away and it is very hot and the fan has not kicked once. I would buy titan fan kit from Amazon which extracts the heat. Cannot send a link as I am on my phone. Hope this helps. Phil 🙂👍

@@lostweekendscaravan Hi, I can talk, I just made my adjustment after seeing this and with a digital temperature reader and a digital thermostat I can make it work at the desired temperature and it turns on and off ok. I have the refrigerator at half power and it is -20 degrees Celsius. Important NOTE I had to put a switch to turn it off at night because of the noise that bothers me when I sleep and others don't.

Hi thanks for letting me know. Mine has failed to work at all despite adjusting the temperature. I will be seeking an alternative when I get home. I am sharing my thoughts in Sundays video. Thanks Phil 🙂👍

Hi yes I understand your point. The idea really is if your awning bag is buggered then this can replace it. They do make a larger bag for bigger awnings which is not much more in cost. The idea behind the video is to show what is out there from uk companies. I feel it is important to support our uk firms otherwise everything will be bought from china and other countries. I hope this makes sense. Thanks Phil 🙂👍

Thanks Phil

Oops I hope you managed to get it fixed. I am looking at something a bit better. Thanks Phil 🙂👍

Hi Paul thanks for the mention on FB. Good question. The zip is quite strong but time will tell. Using it at the moment. Thanks Phil 🙂👍

Glad it was helpful! I try my best to inform as much as I can. Enjoy your caravan. Thanks Phil 🙂👍

Hi Shaun. Currently away using it now. Help save space when packing the car. Thanks Phil. 🙂👍

Hi Colin yes they are very well made. There are different sizes for many applications. Thanks Phil 🙂👍

Yes looks well made but why spend on a bag when it's not needed...just rinse your waste water container out after use and put both screw caps on...no need for a bag?

Thanks BB. Something different to show. Cheers Phil 🙂👍

Hi Eamonn. I am glad you managed it. I can be a faff until you sus it out. Enjoy your Summer. Thanks Phil👍🙂

Hi Linda. Here is the link they are still on there. Phil. spares-2-go.com/products/universal-oven-switch-knob-adaptors-set-for-cooker-grill-hob-black-x-8?_pos=95&_sid=f55f1cbb9&_ss=r

Hi I am glad you found something of use. I try my best to keep up with the latest ideas. Cheers Phil. 👍🙂

@@HitchUpAndTow you are welcome Mark. Hope all is well with you and Coral. Cheers Phil 🙂👍

Hi David. Sounds like it works for you which is great. I love reading other vanners ideas. If think there must be many ideas out there that work. Thanks Phil.👍🙂

Hi I had previously made a video on cleaning a green roof. Jenny chem didn't pay me to make it ,they asked me to test which I did and I have to say if you have a green van its a great product. Green roof video = czcams.com/video/bUF5_le7TQc/video.html other cleaning videos are also on my channel. I hope this helps. Thanks Phil. 👍🙂

Thanks Noorman. I think buying the Carplan cleaners in bulk does save money over a period of time. I am on my second crud buster this year. Many thanks Phil.👍🙂

Hi Gareth. Thanks for your question. I don’t know who is saying it has a built in ground sheet. This not true it comes with draught skirt but no carpet that’s why I didn’t mention it. The carpet in the video is mine. Hope this helps. Thanks Phil 🙂👍

Hi Joe Thanks for your lovely comment. It is comments like this that make me continue with my Channel. Thanks again. Phil.👍🙂

Thanks Simon. Cheers Phil👍🙂

Hi Paul. Thanks. The Crud Buster is great fro green nasty bits. Carplan also make a tyre shine which is good too it doesn't leave a sticky mess when applied. Thanks Phil.👍🙂

Hi Rob n Gail I hope you are both well. I often wonder about ceramic coatings but having read another comment on this video I may look at another product instead. Shield protection coating can last a longer time if applied properly in the first place clearly yours was. Thanks Phil.👍🙂

No Probs BB. Thanks Phil.:)

Thanks for your detailed comment. When you clean as many vans as I do sadly the Gyeon Wet Coat although great costs too much and folk will not pay for it. I have ordered the Autobrite Vision Plus for my own and will give it a whirl. On the car I tend to use Rain-X but I will try the Autobrite Vision Plus. many thanks for your product tips. thanks again Phil. 👍🙂 PS I highly recommend the Crudbuster.

Hi Paul. No problems. I highly recommend them all. Thanks Phil👍🙂

Hi Mike good question. The Car Plan Shampoo is quite mild but effective as is the wax rinsing agent. I have used this on my own van for years and have had no issues what so ever. Most Caravan Cleaning product are car cleaners with a different name and price. It is more down to the end user. Also no pressure washers though. Thanks Phil👍🙂

Just make sure the shampoo is pH neutral...a ceramic car shampoo is best as it adds a layer of SiO2 ceramic protection to your caravan and you can get these very reasonably now

@@Mike-ip8hg the main thing is to avoid abrasives and acidic cleaners which will damage you caravan and silicone seals. Caravan Magic products are specifically designed for caravan care as they are non abrasive and ph neutral- and can therefore be used on cars and motorhomes too.

I have just used Jennychem caravan cleaner for the first time to say I’m impressed is an understatement.

Thanks for watching. I told you I use crud buster. You will have to send me some Caravan Magic Power Cleaner and I will give it a go. Many Thanks Phil.👍🙂

@@lostweekendscaravan on its way! 😊

Hi Colin it is very good. I don't use it on black painted wheels. There Tyre Slik is good too as it doesn't leave a sticky film. Thanks Phil.👍🙂

Thanks Paul. My video is a few years old now. Maybe an update is due. Thanks Phil 👍🙂

Hi G&Z It is a great a bit of kit. Yes Holland & Spain the Bucket list is being ticked off.😂 Thanks P&J👍🙂

Hi Stephen. The Garden sprayer I bought has worked really well. I am still using it. Thanks Phil🙂👍
