Jim if you keep on showering in the sink it'll leak again for sure!!
Good you found it before any major problems.
A lot of houseboats have gone away from JG fittings because of leaks. (especially in hidden cavities)

I eventually found the leak outside (hopefully), but still needed to pull out the unit to check that nothing was leaking there. I was under the impression that JG fittings were the "bee's knees". What alternative its there? I need a right angle connection for 15mm (OD) tubing.

I use all pex pipe and sharkbite fittings, pretty happy with it all.
Pex is just the general term for the plastic pipe they use in houses these days.
handles town water pressure so no limiting valves needed either.

Hi, all.

Used up the last of the Thermoshield on the roof and cleaned out the boot.

[Dot]

Ordered the new air con, G took the first one out of its space and will put that one down in the bedroom, the new one will slip straight into the old ones space up front. Then he washed down the rest of the bus roof ready for the thermal paint. Also took the mirrors off and has cleaned and repainted them,,, niiiiice now.

Dot, why is there a steering wheel on the roof?

Dot, why is there a steering wheel on the roof?

That's for driving in dusty conditions, when you're following another m/h or caravan.
Gets you above the dust-cloud.
We have the older handlebar/tiller-style...

Good one Ray, may as well be a steering wheel for all the good it does Jon It is a Saturn Omni directional antenna. an old wire coat hanger would do a better job.

Haven't you got the vast set up yet Dot ?.

I like our Saturn, it works very well, only issue we ever had was at Glen Innes where it worked better ar 45 deg for some reason
