lewisturn Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hi all, first bit of input on here, just like to say enjoy reading most of threads, have a burstner elegance 821, dump valve in garage, so stays nice and clean, only problem i have is when on french aires or anywhere for that matter, when i reverse onto dump station and get out to open valve you can bet i have locked garage, so its back to cab switch off remove keys and unlock garage and release valve, not so good in bad weather either, i know its been done before but for such a small outlay a motorized 1¼ valve £22, window switch £2.50, fuse holder £1.50 2core wire and conduit about another £8, in all about £34ish, plus a bit of work routing the cable from front to back i can now stay in cab and press a button, lazy or what, all bits on Ebay.

lewisturn Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 my point being, i now dont have to open garage door, which is separately alarmed and needs a code input on opening,even if its not locked, for such a small outlay thought it was one of the best mods on van.

KeithR Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 look at it another way, you are not being lazy, you are being considerate in getting in and out quickly, so others dont have to wait!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepe63xnotuse Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 We could've done with an under-slung camera, with maybe some form of laser guiding system, with our previous van...as the tank outlet was tucked right underneath the centre(ish) of the van and you needed to stand yards back or get on your hands and knees, just to be able to see it.. :-S...
