I got a "thick ear" in '56 when I gave that answer because my teacher thought I was asleep and guessed the answer to his question.
-
I'm with the bow thruster idea, wether it be pole or propeller.

I use Wordpress of which there are two forms, Wordpress.org and Wordpress.com. I suggest that this latter offering will be better for your purpose as it is much easier and quicker to set up, taking a matter of minutes. I use the the former, which whilst being much cheaper as the software is free requires one to set-up one's own domain and is a little more involved to operate.

Quite a good day then. 😄

True enough, but using anything other than distilled water can result in corrosion of the heat exchanger.
-
As can having the wrong type of water apparently.
-
Why should it cause any problems, that's how central heating system are designed to work and the reason we have modulating systems.

The moral of this tale seems to be that you should find a new heater at least 15 years old and only run it flat out in short bursts.
-
All that demonstrates to me is that the Webasto build quality was much better 15 years ago.
-
Our Webasto has now been in use for a year. In that time it has required a new fan unit, combustion chamber, and latterly a new heat exchanger. The fan unit was replaced under guarantee, the other items are apparently "consumables". I shall leave you to decide if I can recommend this make of diesel heater!

What makes you think that they don't originate in China?
-
It seems to me to be something like country villages where everyone demand that you slow down when driving through their village.

Perhaps she only thinks he is!

I've used a taxi for hospital visits that needed anaesthetic as they told me it was illegal to drive within 48 hrs of having one. It cost made me quite ill at £60 each way. However given the infrequency of needing t use a car, and given its running costs, I may well sell it soon and get used to using taxies as I doubt that car hire companies will be interested in hiring to an oldy like me.

When is the last time you went for a cruise on the canal?
Idle Days replied to Rambling Boater's topic in General Boating
Does a Poo cruise count? We cruise around to the pump out point every 3 weeks and that does involve 200 yards on the cut each way. -
Unlike Calor bottles Safefill are designed to be refilled by the user. We used one with our caravan when a 6Kg refill cost £8, may be a bit more know. I regret selling it with the caravan even though ours was only a 6Kg bottle.
-
Perhaps time to consider Safefil?
-
One further point, well a couple actually. We carry a Porta-potty for emergency use, haven't had to yet. Macerator toilets also require maintenance, as do cassettes. I have to change the non-return valve on ours around twice a year, not unduly difficult to do.
-
We have a macerator toilet with a holding tank under our bed on Idle Days. We empty it every 3 weeks at a cost of £8 plus £10 for Elsan fluid, it's an easy job. We previously had a Thetford cassette toilet in our caravan which needed emptying every couple of days without any drama. We decided that we did not want a cassette toilet on our boat. We haven't found it difficult pump-out facilities when touring.
-
Yes for what they are, about £100 each and full ones need to be stored flat, they weigh about 20Kg when full so best on the floor.

Do water filters fall into the same category as Girly Buttons? Asking for a friend!
