Rusty LPG Tank
The National Caravan Club (NCC), state that underslung gas tanks when fitted to a vehicle will need a protection coating to stop mechanical damage. Motor vehicles when traveling on tarmac and concrete roads will spray and flick up debris and possible stones.

Motorhome Frost Damaged Pipes Flojet Water System Pump
In January 2023 Mtec Project had a large number of Motorhome frost damage water pumps that are made by Flojet. My first question was, the Motorhome owner had not drained down pipes for winter? But the answer to the question was 'No, we drained the whole system down'. This was likewise in most cases. After investigation it seems that the proper procedure hadn't been carried out. In the Flojet instructions it states that the pump needs to be disconnected from the plumbing (sect
