Our Morocco has three round LED reading lights in addition to the larger LED lights. Recently one started flickering then after a while stopped working completely. The bulb had failed but it is an odd design with no identification markings and I wasn’t able to find a replacement online.
A family member recently returned from a motorhome holiday in Spain and promptly went down with a bad case of Giardiasis. This isn’t something I had heard about before but it is a parasite which latches onto the inside of the gut and feeds on the lining of the intestines.…
The fan above the kitchen can get very dirty but access to clean it is not possible without a bit of dismantling. This tip is about a simplified way to remove just enough of the fan to get at the parts most likely to need cleaning.
Please note: This article describes a fairly major modification involving potentially lethal voltages and very high DC currents which could cause a fire risk. I am publishing it so Murvi owners can see what is possible but I would recommend having the work done professionally unless you are confident enough (or…
The shower has never drained very quickly in our Morocco and recently it has become so slow it was quicker to use a J-cloth to empty the shower than to wait for the water to drain away. After reading somewhere that there is a one-way valve in the shower drain…
We have been to Spain a couple of times and our experiences
Introduction A WiFi booster is a device which typically can be used on a campsite to pick up from your pitch the wifi signal which might otherwise only be available at the reception. Range is not infinite of course but depending on signal strength you should be able to log…
Our Murvi Morocco has a 100W solar panel which we found adequate initially but since buying a compressor cool box (Dometic CDF 26) we found after a couple of days off EHU in Brittany last September the batteries were getting a bit low. So it was time to look at…
Out toilet compartment has a rooflight made by a company called MKP which even over just a couple of years has become pretty dirty. It’s not anything we do in there, honest, the problem is it is double glazed but by the most useless double glazing company because there is…
The three-way ‘fridge fitted to our Morocco is an essential item, especially when it is hot outside but these absorption refrigerators do not work at their best when the ambient temperature is over about 30C. A compressor refrigerator is better for very high temperatures but it is possible to improve…
Just before our rally in Cornwall I gave our Morocco a wash and polish so she would at least look her best and if it rained the water would perhaps run off the paintwork quickly! Being a clumsy polisher I couldn’t help myself getting some of the wax polish onto…
This tip is probably fairly well known but if you use a SOG toilet the task of emptying it can be made slightly less unpleasant by adding a capful of biological laundry liquid to the toilet after you have emptied it. The enzymes in the liquid do reduce the smell…
