Heating
Our Autocruise heating runs on diesel, but fires up on electric, so without ehu this uses the leisure battery. If the battery is weak it will not fire up the heating. Note: Starting the engine sometimes helps.

Hints for cleaning Moho:
Don't use car shampoo on a Moho.
Use 'Wet and Forget' on the Moho roof in the spring.
Wash dirt off with soapy (Fairy liquid) water, when dry spray on. Twelve months later, do the same. Will find no dirt or green on your roof. Cost is about £35 for a gallon, but you dilute down by 6. I.e. you end up with 7 gallons of solution. Well worth the cost!!!!
Also recommended, from Halfords about £25 for two bottles: 'Showroom Shine'...use after washing to protect surface.Drinking and driving. Parked and drinking:
It's not a grey area, whilst on the Pub car park you are perfectly safe, it is private ground and not the Public Highway. If you are worried about being over the limit when you leave in the morning, then moderate your alcohol intake. The other option is, don't drink. Just because you are at a pub, you are not compelled to drink. Drinking whilst parked overnight on a highway, or in a layby, is illegal.
MOT and testing:
For anyone in the Bristol area the Council MOT test centre in Yate do Motorhome MOTs. The reason I like going there is that hey don’t do repairs and you so get an honest mot.
Gas bottles (information snippets):
You get different pipes for different types of gas bottle.
Propex recommend a 37mb but will run on 30mb with reduced output.
