First post, just to say I`m Roger Turner, wife Heather, Dog Jonti and Hi to every one.
and to enthuse about the beautiful 1990, Stimson Trailfinder we have just bought, it is a Renault 1990 1600 Diesel and has done just over 60K miles.
Had our first outing and stayed at friends house and slept in van.Better night`s sleep second night.
I am hoping some kind persons on this site have experience of this type of Motorhome because I would welcome any advice.
Here goes!!!
The Gas hob unit seems to be in a particularly vulnerable position for heat to affect nearby finished glass fibre surfaces can anybody suggest a heat resistant cowl or reflective material that could be stuck on say?
What type of cheap drive away awning would be suitable for this vehicle and any chance of finding one second hand.
A mechanical problem - the cab heater does not heat up when I turn the knob from cold to hot, is it a mechanical valve or an electric one or just an airlock in the system from being left standing too long, there doesn`t seem to be any loss of coolant and all the hoses heat up ok (I think) and the radiator fan works.
Any ideas on fuel performance and tuning? Tyre pressures.
