I have blown the 12v plug thingy. I plugged in a 12v hairdryer into the cigarette lighter adaptor and I think I've blown a fuse. I'm on electric hook up and when I plugged in my tv into mains supply there was no signal and I found out that the red light on the Status pack was out.

Now I am hunting for the fuses for the 12v system. Am I looking for the right thing and does anyone have a clue where they might be - Abbey Freestyle 470SE 2001.

I won't go into what I did earlier in the week, will save that for another time!

Thanks again in advance, off now for another crawl around.

My caravan fuse box is in the most inaccessible place in a front corner under the seat/bed and a bit behind the alarm box! I never was a rubber person!

I hope you have fixed it Rosie

Your caravan handbook should give a list of what size of fuse is used for what, it is a good idea to carry at least 2 spares for each size, and to remember to re-stock if you use any.

May be a good idea to buy a box containing all sizes of fuses so that you have spares of each size.

I bought 4 x fuses from Halfords this morning. Note to self to get some blue ones as well.

Anyway put the new fuse in and everything works!!

Did the happy dance with slightly restricted movement due to being in a caravan.

Well done

Must admit I don't think I' ve ever bought a fuse. Over the years when I used to frequent local scrap yards, I've liberated many an automotive fuse & relay from scrap cars.
