Useful video. Although I’ve been using a Motorhome for quite sometime I’ve never seen the HEOS water cap. It looks a very useful piece of kit especially as I fill the water up on my own and often get wet 💦 and also fed up standing holding the hose whilst the tank fills! Thanks for the tip!👍🏼

When I started caravanning about 13 years ago, after several sleeping bags, duvets etc I also bought a Duvalet, and have to agree it is the best for a comfortable nights sleep. Easily rolls up for storage.

Robert Crouch yes, we bought the Duvalay sleeping bags when we had to make up the bed and they stored in the top locker.

Good advice with the fire extinguisher is to regularly turn it upside down to keep the powder loose. They have a tendancy to pack hard inside the unit which could cause them either to not work or not work well.

What length hook up cable and hose would you recommend.
@BobEarnshawMoHo4 жыл бұрын
Most electric cables are a standard 25metre length. I've only ever needed longer than that once, on a Belgian site. As for hoses, I get by with a fairly short 10 metre hose. I put some links in the description on the video, below.
@stevewilts3 жыл бұрын
Might I suggest that, as well as the 25m hook up cable, for the UK and Europe, one needs two short extension hook up leads: one with a uk 3 square pin (to hook up at home) and one with a European 2 round pin plug (for those sites that still have the old style electric points - I assure you they exist).
