My wife and I have reluctantly decided that it's time to give up caravanning. Having acquired a holiday flat a couple of years ago, we spend all our spare time there and we know that, realistically, we're not going to be using the van again. It's a 1991 Bailey Pageant Magenta which we have owned from new - so it doesn't owe us a lot. It still has some life in it, and it would be nice to...

2003 Bailey Pagaent, last weekend the heater fuse overheated to the point of melting the fused spur unit. It had been fitted with a 5a fuse & the load is rated at 8.8amps, i bought another fused spur & put in a 10a fuse & it's OK, but still gets a bit warm around the fuse area. No breakers tripped & the RCD didnt go, just overheated & melted the fused spur?

Hello Folks. I am new to the site - and hoping to glean knowledge from the experts. We are currently fundraising for a national charity (Tourettes Action) to buy a static caravan for families with children with neuro-psychiatric disabilities (including autistic disorders, Tourette Syndrome, depression etc) to enjoy holidays and short breaks. We are thinking that the Northumberland coast is...

I've been looking at the various TV antennas for caravans/motorhomes and I'm curious to hear (read) peoples' views. Obviously there is the option of the (essentially) mini domestic version rigged on a pole once you have parked up. Clearly you can get some height and have an amplifier, plus more gain if you get a larger antenna. But there is this fuss of the set up. Then there is the fixed...

Title says it all. Are these any good? Opinion seems to be very divided. Any recommendations? Thanks

I understand that from last Jan 2012 is is now illegal to have speed camera locations in ones sat-nav in France. Also coming later this year, in France, I understand that all cars will have to carry a breathalizer kit on them, as well as the usuall 2 Triangles etc. Anyone else heard about these?

does anyone know where i can et one of these in the uk or something s similar Reliance Wash 'N Go Portable Sink and Organizer. thanks

I've got a flat screen TV and a digi box but I'm unable to get a picture the caravan is a coachman Amara 640. What do I need to do with the aerial on the roof(Only sensible answers please -I've tried to put it there already). Many thanks H

Because I'll be buying a caravan in the next 6 or 7 weeks or so and I need to know the towing weights, etc to drive with. I'm asking specifically for data for older caravans in the region of £500 - £1000 and the details aren't listed on the manufactures website. I'm looking for either a printed book or a comprehensive website. Thanks in advance. McK.

Charger seems to have failed, no output Bailey Pageant Majestic 2003 It is a MEC Ltd Mytholmroyd, W.Y. type 1014 10 amp. They appear not to be known. Bailey website offers BCA 10amp Battery Charger up to 2003 model of caravan. Photo shows same type connections as mine. Bad news is will cost almost £120. Anyone know of a cheaper source? Anyone know who BCA are?

I've just bought a new (to me) car which came complete with a the above towbar which appears brand new. It is the one which inserts vertically under the bumper. I can't for the life of me get it to click into place. I have watched a demo on utube of how to do it but the retaining button won't pop out when I pull the tow bar down. I can get it to work when I press the small release button when...

Hi all I am just changing insurance companies, and to comply with the new company rules which states that when left unattended, attached to the car, the caravan should have a wheel clamp attached. In my handbook it states that the whels are "165R13" Does this mean that I have 13" wheels on my van? I need to know for the size of the wheel clamp I need to get. Thanks in advance

Just seen that Discover Leisure (used to be Barrons) has gone bust. The receivers are selling off all the stock. They had 5 branches in the north. Bought my last caravan 4 years ago from the Coppull (Chorley) branch. Seemed almost too big to fail - or was that the problem. See http://www.discover.co.uk/ for details of the sell off. Looks like if you have paid a deposit with the wrong...
