Re: Habitation Service ?

Thanks for your comments Zildjian. I'm agree that the cost is probably not justified every year, but perhaps every second or so.

Habitation Service ?

Last winter we had a full habitation service at the local motorhome/campervan dealer. I am wondering if you all get an annual service, do it yourself, do nothing at all or some combination. Let's hear your thoughts.

Re: Clamp on towing mirrors.

We have these and find them very good. We have a Navara and there is a bit of vibration but I just put a small support under the truck mirror to stop that.

NorthStar Draining Truck Battery ?

Please forgive the long post but as you will read, we have had an odd battery problem and so I want to share all the details. We have a 2014 Navara with a 2014 NorthStar 750. I am hoping to get advice/suggestions before we head off to the local repair centre. We had a fabulous 2 weeks in the Outer H...
