To stop a thread being totally hijacked.

Q Do it use the heater on gas overnight.?

A Yes I do. We have Alde heating it has a lower overnight setting and is timed to come on at arround 7am to warm up the Caravan. With the exception of cooker / oven every gas appliance should be room sealed. If you are not confident that this is the case, then you really should get your appliances checked and serviced. Even if you intend to switch everything off overnight. You could imagine dosing off after a bottle of wine and rubbish on the TV. Get it checked. Actually we had the van serviced in January and the technician said do you use the appliances on gas a lot? I thought this is going to cost me and said yes. He said, thought so appliance that are used often on gas tend to burn a lot cleaner.

Oh yes I also drink from the Caravan water supply as well. But that’s another story

On here today a Sunday, it is about 30%motor caravans of those on site ,but one thing is very noticeable, is that numerous motor caravans are users of wastemasters under the waste outlets and with aquarolls alongside,which I would take as the a large percentage of those on site and the majority are retirees ,are convertions from c/vans and are still being used the same

Sorry for straying

Are they like the 'undead' where there's still a little humanity in them but they haven't quite transitioned yet

Maybe they are staying several nights and do not wish to have to move the MH to the service point?

Probably, but it is evidently poor form when a motorhomer does not follow the strict pattern of procedure expected by the elite of this clan is it not?
