I bough some black felt like materiel for mine.  Not cheap and I too was worried about damp from condensation.  I used some spray fabric waterproof though and have had no problems at all.

Most trouble was sealing the edges with folded over gaffer tape.  I ended up using a hot iron to get the adhesive to stick to the felt.  They have been surprisingly durable too.

Makes you wonder how often large bills are run up when the original problem is only something like this.  Sometimes by crooks but also just by poor diagnostics.  Could have had all that work done, the clip could have been done up properly on reassembly and they would have fixed the problem.  Something that should cost nothing costing £100's.

They certainly should have had a good look during misfiring and seen such an obvious thing as air bubbles in the filter.  Even a non mechanic would do that.  I think they often just guess.

Glad you are sorted. 

Same thing happened when I first picked mine up.  It was indeed a tidal wave.

Did you take the mat out to dry it?  It is getting on for 2" thick with sound deadening and if not fully dried off, will rot your floor.  I could hardly pick mine up for the weight of water in it.

Simplifies things then at least no fumes to worry about. 

I thought it was a Dometic/Electrolux 2/3 way.  Probably as you say, any heat taken away can only help the cooling though.  Mind you, on a hot day when it matters most, you are likely to have plenty of doors or windows open and there will be little difference between inside and outside temps anyway.

So it's a compressor type then, going for solar on the roof rack?

Looks like you might be best arranging a Southeren Region meet with k_wyndham poolman?  Your 300m would be in range for me but I think others are even further north.

You might have a lighter socket to usb converter that is lower power rated?

I use a lighter extension lead that has a hub with two cigar and three usb outlets.  I can use it in front from the dash cigar lighter or in the back, plugged into a cigar lighter socket connected to the leisure battery.

Two of the usb outlets are something around 1 amp and one is 2 amp.  So obviously I use the higher one if I am just charging one device.    I believe if you use two or more outlets at the same time, even the one marked 2 amp drops down to 1 amp.  I generally wouldn't use more than one at a time anyway as cigar sockets tends to blow fuses if I do.

Just looked on ebay for similar but I have had mine for a few years and they all look different now.  A wide range though so you might look through and check specs.

I also have a powerbank that can charge my phone or tablet between three or four times.

The one ken has linked is similar but without the two lighter pass through sockets.  Looks better made than mine too.

Don't know but could something be done at the fuse?  Splice in, disconnect the original fuse and run a feed to your leisure battery fuse box?  I am far more bodge it and pray here than auto electrician btw.  Don't do it without asking someone more sensible.

Almost embarrassed to admit I had mine done for me when I was in for some mot work. 

I have extremely limited mobility these days, I now have to pay, often extortionately to have almost every little thing done.

No experience with these later models myself but it sounds like it.

I would get a can of water repellent spray ready for the next shower.  Nowt worse than intermittent electrical faults.

That's what we thought but they were surprisingly good.  Better than The Faces who were too smashed to play.  I think Rory Gallagher played two nights running to cover their spot.   But thinking bout it, that could have been a different festival altogether.

Still giging I think.

Looks like there won't be too many then.

Also looks like most are Southern Scotland/Northern England apart from k_wyndham_t. who I am sure will understand if we go for a northern venue this time?

With no particular preference myself, but to move this on, how about a spot kenbw2 and I met at recently :-

Reasonably convenient for most I think and out of the way enough for numerous vans (100's if needed )  No facilities but it avoids any complication of booking.

Open to any other suggestions or thoughts.

The warning light coming on with ignition is only confirming that the warning light circuitry is ok.  It doesn't check the sender. 

I would expect almost any change to the shape of the tank would render the original sender useless.

As someone who regularly (and for no sensible reason), runs tanks low, I have noticed quite often that when eventually refilled, the gauge stays on empty until I hit a bump or two.  I assume the float is temporarily sticking at the empty level.

I think those wires near the handbrake are from the seatbelt pre-tensioners?
