3 inch dia thin flexible ali tube needed
Jasper - 6/11/10 at 11:46 AM

I need about 30 cm of flexible corrugated ali tube that I can bend at 90 deg angle for a vent for the gas heater in the caravan. Tried my local caravn service people but no joy, as it's an old caravan.

Any other ideas?

Screwfix/B&Q and the like do 4" stuff... being ali, I'm sure it would crush down to 3"!

What diameter?

If it's small you could try "hot-spot" pipe. The sort thats used between air filter and exhaust heat shield on some (older) cars. Usually available fromgood motor factors.

Oh yes, inherited a 'van from the father in law. Can't see us at Caravan Club sites with lots of families, be using it more for music festivals and going over to Europe. Had a great time in Amsterdam in it a couple of weeks ago I can see now why people get into them though, great fun and really comfortable.
