I know the question about comparing caravan movers has been on this news group many times but I just wondered does anyone who has a mover fitted (I notice most of the movers seem to range somewhere between 30 and 40kg) actually take into account the fixed extra weight or just load up everything they would normally take with them in the van without spotting any difference?

It's like an additional gear. Most people I know leave it turned on, but it might be better turned off when towing. Never really saw the point of them on an automatic gearbox, they were originally fitted to manual boxes, but were abolished with the advent of 5th gear. Do you know how many gears your auto box has? some have five but most are only 4 and some of the older ones were 3 speed. The o/d...

Hello all, just thought I would let you all know how I am getting on with my Claim. If you remember my last post regarding Camping La Puerto Del Sol, this is the site we booked through the Caravan Club and when we arrived could not site our outfit due to the Tree Stumps on the pitch. Well I filed a claimed in the county court against the club for my site fee of £617. I have received...

With the impending arrival of my new van, I looked around the accessory showroom for a new level to replace the Lambilevel that has been on the old one for 26 years. Looks like time has gone backwards. Instead of a big bold level which can be read from the driving seat (very handy when pulling up a ramp) everything on offer was more like a standard spirit level that you can only read close...

"Christian McArdle" wrote in message ... Your earlier post suggested fitting ABS onto caravans in order to prevent a snake, or to reduce the effects from it. Now your post is saying that fitting ABS would probably have no effect. That's helped us all a lot, many thanks! Conor has an obsession...

i have a caravan on an essex site which is a 1994 willerby herald, the site says i must sell it through the office but they will probably offer me almost nothing for it. does anyone out there know how we can get round this so at least we can get some decent amount for it

I have a Swift Capri 5400 Motor home 1990 model and am trying to find the location of the manufacturer. Tried the Yellow pages for Swift under appropriate headings to no avail. Search engine finds nothing either. I believe they have a technical advice service, and I need to contact them re a problem with the flooring and need details of the structure of what I believe is a plywood poly foam...

We are thinking of visiting the Lake District for our 1st trip. Can anybody recommend a site that is not too difficult to get to. I would like my girlfriend to enjoy it, as she has never been caravaning before. Thanking you in advance Steve

Has anyone got any experience of the linked motormover? Like would it be ok to use with a twin axle van? http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23365419-details/Farmer+takes+revenge+on+squatter+...+with+a+forklift/article.do ;-) Lee D

Hi, When one buys on an internet site you can be asked for a code to cover a promotion/voucher, which gives you a discount if you enter it. Do you know of say a web site that lists this sort of info.? (Will be booking a ferry shortly to N. Ireland.) -- Regards, David

Hi All I have just bought a cheapy to se if I can cope with towing a caravan. I do realise that the cheaper you buy, the work is required to get the beast in good order. However I have read many posts on this site where folk have relined their vans etc. I would just like to know how when stripping away the old timber frame, how is it attached to the aluminium skin?? do I glue it?? Thanks in...

I'm shortly picking up my new Lunar Quasar 524. On reading about the many issues regarding damp ingress, and it appears that even some new vans can have damp already in them when the innocent buyer collects it. Do you think it would be a good idea to check it out first with a damp meter before I hand over the balance of the cash. On reading up on damp meters it appears the majority use the...

I have seen a 2004 Hobby 450 which is in excellent condition and 1 owner from new. Id there any problems getting German caravans insured and who are the best companies to contact. I would fit a Phantom tracker to it. TIA Dave.

Hi all. No caravanning experience. Got an old Abbey sitting out the back - seems mechanically and structurally OK, but decoratively poor. Outside has poor paint and trim falling off, windows still waterproof but bits falling off the latches, interior peeling and needs a complete redecorate. If it was tidy we would use it, and we couldn't afford anything else. But my gut feeling is that it...
