I thought they're installed in the heater circuit, and leave the primary engine cooling circuit untouched. The only thing which can go wrong (that I can see) is a loose/broken fitting causing a coolant leak. But that could go wrong at any time anyway. Yes connect in the heater circuit. Ive got a ...

If you use a 15 amp mig in a 10 amp plug, you will have to grind down the earth pin. The better option is to make an adapter with a 15 amp female to 10 amp male. This way your warranty (if applicable) will still be valid since you have not actually modified the plug. If you have a safety switch, it ...

Yes changing a power point from a 10 amp to a 15 amp may be legal providing the breaker and the wiring can handle to current. However changing the plug or using an adapter is a differnet kettle of fish. The issue here is you can potentially melt the 10amp rated powerpoint or the plug top. These are ...

Swing out sideways in a camper trailer is a pain in the backside.
This means that if 2 people are sleeping on the bed. You will have to climb over your partner if you are on the inside.

Fold out length wise you get out of the bottom of the bed. way more practical.
