Water worries

Trying to sort my water hoses, need this fitting I believe, anyone know what it’s called and where I get it? Answer, a male fitting, any good Hardware store.

 

Highclere Caravan Owners Group

Great idea!

What the switch is for that is in the entrance way beside the fire extinguisher in the Dynasty Bunk Van? Answer – to turn off the interior lights you forgot to turn off.

How do you clean this?

Suggestions were to blow the dust out (hair dryer or small leaf blower) and wipe the mesh with a damp cloth.
