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:

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...

John,

There are several reasons for this, and if you pop over to
uk.rec.motorcaravans they will give you all the answers.

can be. like getting the rather pathetic fridges down to temperature
that the gas or 12v supply can almost maintain.

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.

caravan users. What did you eat tonight?

That reminds me of the time I was towing my caravan and thr driver behind
was getting grumpy at my speed

He overtook where he really should not have done and nearly hit the
overloaded builders van in front of me that had been holding me up for miles

I suppose you could argue that it was still my fault as he couldn't see past
me however

don't get me started on tradesmans vehicles

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?

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:

Still being a poisonous arsehole, I see.
