Lining the inside of your motorhome
I am converting a panel van into a campervan and I am having trouble sticking the leather cloth to the metal sides of the interior. I used a super spray adhesive purchased from a carpet shop but the leather cloth just pells itself from the walls when the van gets hot. Can you recommend a suitable adhesive for this task?

Fitting Remis cab blinds
I read a feature once about fitting Remis cab blinds. I may be wrong but I seem to remember that these blinds were available for the early Peugeot Boxer cabs (1999). If this is the case could you tell me who might stock such blinds near me? For your information my motorhome is an Elddis Autostratus LS SE 1999 2.5TD on a Peugeot Boxer, with rear lounge. Overall I am very happy with it, although when I go to shows I always find a few more favourites to add to my wish-list.

Getting started
I have taken delivery of a 2005 Auto-Trail Apache and I would like some help in operating the gas and electrics. Could you offer any advice on how to do this or suggest where I could get more information?

Solving gas problems
I have had to arrange for the replacement of a bulkhead fixed Truma gas regulator due to blockage. The replacement has been placed as high as possible, but the new position still does not place the regulator above the top of the bottle as the locker size limits the position.
On checking my freestanding propane regulator I note that it delivers gas at 37mbars. Can you confirm that, as the fixed regulator delivers at 30mbars, it is safe to fix the 37mbars regulator to the cylinder and then the hose to the fixed regulator so that any oily liquid blockage will be intercepted? Also, my cylinder is refillable and I have noticed at petrol stations that there is a choice of Autogas or propane liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). What is the difference and can I use either?

Waste water container
I am trying to locate a particular wastewater container called 'Waste Water Kanister' that I saw in a catalogue in 2004. I contacted the company selling these but they no longer stock this item. Our van has a very low drainpipe and at seven inches tall this item would be ideal for us. Do you know where I can obtain a similar item?
