When the river drops, I can arrange an Inland Waterways course in Marlow on Ellie Jo, or on the canal in a narrow. Friend of mine runs http://www.watercraft.org.uk/

Thats great- thanks, The run is short, about a foot straight to the skin fitting. Strange- virtually the same distance for the bathroom one but that doesnt have one!

Did the washing at lunch and got wet feet! The sinks leaking- through what looks like a breather?? I've taken the grease trap, and all the pipes apart and flushed clean, but still leaking. Have never seen a breather- if thats what it is? I took it apart, and their is a small mishaped rubber cap. Is the small part on the top right.

If Marlow is any use, I can put a course on for £50 / head, plus a £30 licence fee.

Thanks blackrose.

Best reply ever! Didnt realise just called a wheelhouse, so that will make searches easier. Reckon possible with a tiller stear? Has it been done?!

Not sure what they're called or if they exist- do people ever have wood and windowed covers made over the stern of the boat- barge style? Am looking at a pram cover for my WB, but thought as its a square back I wonder about a more substancial cover. Its standard tiller stear, so would have to be built with this in mind, and imagine it would probably not be collapasable, or as quick as a pram anyway.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, side entry. I've found 1kw and 1.25 in 7 and 11. Chris

Worked out the calorafier is approx 50L, roughly 12inches accross. Will I be able to use an 11inch immersion heater or need the 7inch?

Thats great, thank you very much. Good to know its standard so will be easy to source, even if the lower kw may be harder in general to find. Guess this then: http://www.elyboatchandlers.com/calorifiers/1kw-240v-immersion-heater-to-suit-larger-units

Well, i've kinda answered one of my own questions- I want investigating, and attcked what I thought was a lump in the foam! Are they all the same fit? Or how do I work out size and length?

Thanks for the help- was actually your picture I found in a search. Doesnt look like I have a blanking plate- bugger!

Sorry, know this has been mentioned several times, have used the search function etc. My calorafier pictured below. Can I fit an emersion heater for shore hookup? I cant locate a blanking plate, but didnt know if anyone can tell me if its hidden behind the foam, or if I can replace the top cap? If I can fit it, i've also got the webasto to go in soon. My questions- If the immersion element is heating the water for the shower / taps, but I run the rads heated from the webasto, can I run it so the I have option of the engine, webasto, and heater for shower? If that makes any sense! If I use the immersion or engine for rads, i'm assuming I run a pump to push the water to the rads- how would I plumb this with the webasto in the system? Thanks all!

I've been playing and smelling more tonight. Is strange- the pipes in the 2nd wardrobe don't smell at all- so I'm wondering if filter related. The hose layout of mine I'd believe would trap any moisture at the bottom. Thoughts?

Took me bloody ages to find one, looked online etc- then my local chandlers had one in ordered by mistake- £10. Result. Was slightly damp in the housing, so I wonder if I have a blocked pipe there as well. Once I had the correct name- was easy to find. They do small and large.
