The issue is finding a quality valve, otherwise it will leak every year, the cheap ones are pure garbage

Tell you what Tam

that’s looks bloody lovely, it’s a classy looking motorhome mate and I hope it serves you well for many years to come.

Tell Gary i’m looking for a similar one and driving straight down to Cornwall so shuftie over a bit.

Can I go on the reserve list after you, I'm beginning to need someone younger and fitter!

Gary might be able to claim carers fee's for helping me?

Only 32° here today ( still in the van going from tree to tree )
Glad we are not having jobs to do, it's bad enough just keeping cool. Bob.

I thought that 3€ was dear for them here.

 

[Dutch 68]

It’s ok until you open or close the valve after a prolonged time in one position, I agree with you manual is just fine but only if you can find a good quality version

Well the one that's on it hasn't been changed every year .

You could probably buy 10 (Chinese) for same price on eBay

 

[Northernraider]

I bought one the same as currently fitted on ebay for £3.50 . It'll do the job

Hi Jock, we're you able to get the glass units(s) locally or we're they bought from overseas? Thank you. K

Hi there. As previously answered to A.N. Other enquirer, a friend of a friend sourced the glass for me, though you can get your existing double glazed units repaired, or made up as new here in the UK. HTH.

Well the one that's on it hasn't been changed every year .

And as far as I know, ours is still the original.
I checked ours out today Tam, having forgotten to turn it off for the summer. It closed and opened again but with a little stiffness, but a wee spray on the base of the shaft with silicone, definitely made it easier.

BTW, did you get my PM re your battery box?

Cheers,

Jock.

Jees well after 45 minutes it's feckin melting In here . I've had to turn it off as feeling sick. So no leaks as far as I can see and it gets lovely and toasty.

I'm impressed how quiet it is , you can't hear the pump at all unless you lift the hatch where the boiler is. Not as hot in the rear of the van as it gets in the front . Maybe needs bled .

Gets warm everywhere though even in the garage . My tool cupboard gets very warm . Dogs are gonna love that in the colder weather as floor gets warm too.


So I want to carry a spare bottle of alde fluid just in case . Looking on ebay there's two types g12 and g13

Is there any difference and do I need a particular one?
