You have changed your argument so I'm not going to try and answer any more! I'm out of here!

Pedantic!

Sorry, thought that was rather obvious, the towns and cities who are introducing CAZ's!

Hi Barne, I'm going to assume your 2015 Tracker is based on a Ducato so there should be a module located at the base of the drivers side 'B' pillar below the seat belt mechanism which is the connection point between the Fiat cab and the AT conversion. I can't remember the name or model number of this module but it should contain fuses and one of them may have blown. Keith.

As you have only just got your new MH I would suggest trying it without an awning to see if you really need one. As an example our AT has a factory fitted recessed awning and we very rarely use it, to the point if we ever bought another MH and it did not have one fitted we wouldn't bother.

We don't use our MH to visit cities so not really a problem to us with our none compliant PHGV. And my view is if they don't want us, then we don't want to visit them! Keith.

Hi @d42mat, Unfortunately Lawrence hasn't been seen since his last post in April 2023 so I doubt you will get an answer from him. Maybe one of the other forum members can answer your question? Keith.

Because, as Derek posted above, Lunar Caravans went into voluntary liquidation in 2021

I agree with others here, if you're doubting how long it will last then now is the time to replace it! Think about it, you can decide on a suitable make and size of battery then find the best price and have it delivered and fitted at your leisure rather than when stranded on the side of the road in a blizzard and be at the mercy of a breakdown service!

Thanks @hja I thought as much but @the clampits seemed to imply otherwise in the previous post hence my asking. I have also searched the CMC website to no avail!

@the clampits What are the details for the CMC ACR please? We are now both ACR and Veteran members of the CCC but I've never heard of an ACR with the CMC. Keith.

Den, I received my January 2024 magazine at the beginning of December and the February 2024 magazine is due in the shops next week. https://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/motorhomes/news/dont-miss-the-february-2024-issue-of-mmm If you are missing the January copy then try phoning Warners next week. Keith.

Honda has found a solution, not cheap but probably cheaper then repairing the damage caused! https://www.honda.wales/estore/GENUINE-HONDA-RODENT-TAPE-19MM-x-20METRES-p147716010 And some comical reading about it https://haterade.substack.com/p/i-tasted-hondas-spicy-rodent-repelling

Happy Christmas all, and especially Geeco down under! Keith.

Den, With the C&CC you get Age Concession Rates when you are over 60. Look for ACR on the booking form. Or if you have completed over 25 years of membership and one of the members receives a state pension you can apply to be a Veteran member

I believe modern car wiring uses a soy based insulation and this is why the rodents find it more attractive than the old plastic/PVC wiring which did not taste as good!

Most probably low battery voltage, especially as you said it 'took a little cranking'. Can you charge the battery for at least 24 hours before trying to start next time?

Hi Peter, If you opened the door and either the interior lights came on or one of the many computers came to life then this would explain the lower voltage reading at the starter battery. Keith.

With that kind of value surely it is worth looking at a professional repair. @AndyB1 What is your approx location and maybe someone can suggest a repairers to al least get a quote? Keith.

Yes, the fridge relies on a flow of air over the external coils to function correctly. If you can feel cold draughts around the cupboard joints then you need to look at the rear of the fridge to see if it has been correctly installed and sealed from the MH interior.

You have two options if DIY'ing the vent covers. If you only require them to close the vents in storage then you can completely cover the existing grilles with a plastic or metal sheet but if you intend to use the fridge with the covers in place you MUST leave the bottom one or louvres open for the fridge to function. Dometic recommend fitting the covers when the ambient temperature is below something like 8 degrees C to restrict airflow and prevent overcooling (freezing) of the fridge.

Yes, disconnect them and make sure the removed terminals cannot come into contact with anything around them. Could you also find the split charge relay and/or fuse to disconnect the system at source?

That is a perfectly acceptable way to charge the starter battery. Or do you have an always live cigarette lighter socket in the cab? If so then plug back into that, that is how I charge the starter battery on my Sprinter MH. No need to even lift the bonnet! Keith.

Thanks Ray. Here is a smaller screenshot of the fusebox and the six fuses appear to be F54 to F59
