Caravans
Just looking at the caravans and motorhomes up my road and all have
extension leads from the house into the 'van. I presume this is to charge a battery. Are they being a bit anal? Couldn't they just do it occasionally? Is there a reason why they need to drape a flex from their windows out to the 'van? |

"John" gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying: Just looking at the caravans and motorhomes up my road and all have extension leads from the house into the 'van. I presume this is to charge a battery. Are they being a bit anal? Couldn't they just do it occasionally? Is there a reason why they need to drape a flex from their windows out to the 'van? It'll be on a trickle-charger/conditioner. Keeps it ready to rock at all times, without overcharging or letting the battery go flat, either of which will reduce the battery's life expectancy. On our occasionally-used cars, I just pull the earth lead when it's not in use. Seems to do the job quite nicely... |

Keeps the battery charged and keeps the fridge cold, so you don't have to clean the fridge/wait for it to cool before each trip. |

On Jun 27, 9:50*am, "The Medway Handyman" davidl...@no-spam-
Does anyone have any idea what he is on about? He is probably considering the various reasons you may have had to post on the thread. I'm wondering why he risked getting replies from idiots when all he had to do is go and ask the neighbours. Maybe he likes annoying people like you? |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Unbeliever" saying something like: Well don't get me started on those who profess to be professionals and really know sod-all. Rather like you eh... BTW, have you managed to discover the difference between the Health and Safety Executive and the Trading Standards Department yet? Still being a poisonous arsehole, I see. |
