    I bought a motorhome late last year and though I havent been able to use as much as I liked but overall everything is ok.

    However the fuel guage is giving trouble showing 'full' one minute & then 1/2 full the next minute & vice versa so when I need to go anywhere I put in €20& hope for the best. I crawled under it to check out the connection to the tank, its fairly inaccessable & it looks as if I have to drop the tank which (I assume) we're talking lots of €€€€. This isn't strictly a Camper issue but perhaps someone has had a similar experience.

    Its an Iveco yr1995 2.5L TD.

    Thanks in advance.

    Fill it up with diesel, set your trip counter to zero, drive some 300-400 km in mixed conditions, brim it again, work out your fuel consumption.

    From then on, zero your trip counter at every fill (always to the brim) and you should know how far you can go.

    Cheapest solution to the problem :cool:

    Also, the fuel warning light *usually* sits on a different circuit than the gauge, so that might still work ...but don't go testing it without a diesel reserve on board

    thats good advice, and a cheaper way out, i do this on motorbikes that have no guage
