Hiya. The pump is switched by the tap itself, so wiring probably runs from Zig to tap and then to pump. If that is the case, it'll be a case of tracing the wire from the tap to the pump. These old C15 Romahomes can be a challenge! I wish you luck.

Yes, I suddenly realised last night that to activate the pump you need to turn the tap on😮! I was very excited this morning to put the meter across the wires and get my neighbour to turn the tap and see the meter race up to 12v. He’s a very happy man. Thank you for getting back to me.

@@milesharris9910 No problem. Glad you got it sorted.👍

Hiya. No problem. I have the bed extension which goes behind the front seats to lengthen the bed, so I have no problems.

Glad it helped. It's a confusing thing to operate! Panda

Hiya. Pretty good, seems completely waterproof. Flexes a bit in high winds as it it twangy poled, but awning straps strengthen it really well.

Hiya. Now problem, glad it proved to be useful.

Hiya. I got them from Amazon. www.amazon.co.uk/Outdoor-Camping-Clips-available-Goldan/dp/B00INROYF4/ref=sr_1_64?crid=1N7RW3D7BX4D4&keywords=inner+tent+hanging+clips+metal&qid=1706814240&sprefix=inner+tent+hanging+clips+metal%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-64

Many thanks! I'll get some. Just wondering if you have any tips/ideas how to solve a water ingress problem I have in the rear footwell of my C15 Romahome (Rosalie)? The water is very dark - looks like black coffee! So not coming in through back door. It's like it seeps through somewhere. Any advice gratefully received! xx

Hiya. Unfortunately this is a known problem on C15 Romahomes. It could be coming from around the rear lights or possibly where the rear bumper mounts are. Even sometimes Unser the door seal around the frame. I've done everything to stop it on mine but it still sometime appears from knowhere. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Panda

Many thanks - that helps a lot really as it gives me more ideas where to put some more sealant. Happy Romahoming!

Hiya. I can stand up fully in the footwell at the back when the roof is raised. I'm just over 6ft tall. Panda.

Unfortunately you can’t only get 180 watts maximum from a cigarette lighter socket and it would flatten the battery in an hour or so. Diesel or gas heating or electric hook up is the only answer. Sorry!

Hi there. It is completely up to you really. I would be led by the size of the leisure battery battery box to see what has been fitted before. Otherwise you can fit whatever size you want. Normally they are between 75ah and 110ah. Hope this helps. Panda

Hi Alun. No, not on Facebook. Catch up soon I expect though.

Hi mate. I'm good. Working hard but doing fine. Hoping to get to Horsley on the 8th September for the weekend depending on work.

@@pandabloke if u come on d 7th that b cool I check out on d 9th got an upgrade I'm trying out Geertop 1 man tent!!

@@alunjones9153 Unfortunately can't make it to Horsley this weekend as I have to work on Saturday now. Sorry mate. Catch up another time though. 👍

Hi Patsy. Unfortunately my fridge doesn’t operate on gas so I can’t help you with that one. However if you search RUclips, you will find lots of videos showing you how to do this. Thanks for your interest.

@pandabloke thank you. I've searched but cannot find one for my old electrolux fridge.

Hi Alun. Was great meeting you. Yep, I got home safely without too much traffic. Looking forward to getting away again soon when work allows. Take care mate. 👍

I'm booked 4 nites from Monday 4th of September requested same picture

Dough pitch and got better food menu 😄👍

Turn on gas at bottle, Bottom of fridge there is a dial and an ignition switch, flick the switch and you will here the clicker ignition, press and hold dial and you will here a distinctive little poof keep holding for a few more seconds, there is a peep hole you can see what looks like a pilot light, that means your fridge is on ..... make sure you put the ignition switch back because when you turn gas off it will carry on clicking.... hope this helps

Hi Patsy. If you mean the heating system in the habitation area, I'm afraid I haven't got any heating in Hettie. If you mean the cab area, I have another video on this channel demonstrating just that. Thanks for your interest. Panda.

@pandabloke OK thanks.

Hi Graham. Unfortunately I've never had to remove the fridge, so I can't help with that one I'm afraid. However, I do know that they are a tight fit. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. Panda.

Thanks so much many thanks Graham

Hi there. I you have a Zig unit, the fuse is below the the Pump switch on the panel. If you don't have a Zig unit, it's a case of tracing the wires back from the pump until you find the fuse. It could also be the switch inside the tap, they are known to give up. Taps are still available new. Hope this helps.

@@pandabloke many thanks! I have a Zig unit, yes, so will try the fuse and then the tap. I have the older version of tap where there is a fragile little lever which you have to flip over to switch tap on. Very grateful for your help and time x

H Victoria. I assume you mean the cabin lights? Make sure that the main switch on the panel is set to the caravan setting. Also there is a fuse for the lights on the panel under the switch that says 'Lights.' Hope this helps.

@@pandabloke I will check in the morning, yes it's the lights where the seats are, how do we chance them and where would we get the fuses from x

@@victoriaevans5233 Hiya. They should be below the switch on the panel and just unscrew the holder. Fuses should be available from any motor factor, like Halfords.

He has had a diesel pump put in and everything ok it runs off the leisure battery and is working but everything else has stopped . Do you think it's a fuse for the lights or a connection?

@@victoriaevans5233 Hiya. Sounds like the people who fitted the diesel heater have inadvertently disconnected everything else from the leisure battery. Have a look around the leisure battery for a wire that is hanging loose and disconnected. Hope this helps.

Hi Peter. No problem. Good luck in your search. Panda

Many thanks.👍

Hi GasGas. Glad you found it useful. Panda

Hi mermaid. I shall add that to the list, no problem! Thanks for watching as always.

Hi Adrian. I ordered them from Amazon. I've just checked and there plenty of UK suppliers on there. I went for the one with the awning channel in the middle, some have the channel at the top or bottom of the rail. I believe they come in 1.2 metre lengths. Thanks for your interest.

Hi Nikki. Glad it worked for you. Panda.

Hi Nicola. I'm afraid I only filmed it at the show so I've not used one myself so I can't answer your question. Unfortunately they've stopped making them now too, which is a real shame.

@@pandabloke okay, thanks for taking the time to reply 🙂

Hi Gwilym. No, I slid it right forward on its runners then wound it as far forward as I could with the reclining mechanism. Then with a combination of leaning over the top from the back and working from both sides, I managed it. Mind you, the seats do come out pretty easy, so that would probably be the best way. 4 Allen key or Torx bolts, I think, from memory. 👍

@@pandabloke Thank you m8

Hi dee mak. Mine have the screws fitted though the lens so they are simple to unscrew. Sorry I can't be more help.

@@pandabloke ok bud no probs thanks anyway 👍

Hi dee mak. Unfortunately my fridge is not wired in on 12v, despite there being a button in the cab, so I can't help with that. I'll see what I can do about the 12v system in the back though, no problem. Panda

@@pandabloke hi bud yeah that would be very useful I'll look forward to seeing it 😀,,great videos keep them coming an thanks for getting back 👍 cheers all the best dee

Many thanks, Mermaid.x

Thanks very much. I'm a Town Crier by trade, so I'm used to talking to people and being in front of numerous cameras! x

Hi Mermaid! Many thanks. I reckon yours is a Nu Venture Junior maybe? Perhaps you could send me a picture to pandasmobile@googlemail. com and I'll see if I can help you identify it. And whatever it costs for the MOT, it'll be worth it. Panda x

Hi Mike. Thanks for subscribing and particularly for your interest. No, they are just cheap tarps from Amazon. I just checked and the orange one was £16.99 and the blue one was £12.99. It was hard finding one narrow enough to go across the back of a C15 Romahome. If you look closely in the video, you can see I've turned the corners of the blue one over nearest the van to decrease the width even more. Blue one was 1.5m x 2.2m and the orange one was 2.4m x 2.2m. Hope this helps. Panda

@@pandabloke actually, yes I saw the edge was folded... Thought you'd got your sewing machine out and hemmed it.. 😊🤣 We have a Murvi Morocco XL and hoping to go full time Van life end of August when I retire..(66) 🤣🤣😁

@@pandabloke and the nifty thing about the suction cup is if you get a shower of rain, you can put them further back and cover the door 😁👍🏻

@@mikesampson4104 Well good luck mate. 4 years to go for me until I can think about retiring, when I'm 60. 😁👍

@@mikesampson4104 And very true about the suction cups. They really do seem to be good.👍

Hi there. This old Harrison style awning actually came with the van, so I was very lucky. They do turn up on eBay from about £150 upwards. You can get new modern drive away awnings that will fit, for a similar price upwards, such as the Outdoor Revolution Hand.

@@pandabloke thNk you for your reply. I did actually catch the fact it was old at end of video.i will look at your suggestion. Thank you

I've just seen an outdoor revolution outhouse Handi Low 180-21 £199 on e bay, hope this helps. We bought our van 3 weeks ago, 24,000 miles, full mot, and drove it 1st time yesterday and stayed overnight, it came with awning and toilet tent as well, will check tomorrow if it's like yours!@@pandabloke

Forgot to say it's an "R" reg, think it's 1998?

Hi Chris. If you come here community.smallmotorhome.co.uk there is loads of info on Romahomes and small campers in general. Thanks for your kind comments.
