In France ,as in most of the European mainland, two - pole switching is employed, so when an appliance is switched 'off', both lines are interrupted. This means that polarity is not an issue for them, especially with ac current.

Hello guys, I'm thinking of buying an ex RAF T35 Renault Master self build. The van is a 1992 straight 2.5 diesel with a genuine 45k. The conversion is good enough and the condition of the van is superb for the year. I will need to get cambelt done on principal, is that a big deal/cost? Any opinions on it as a van and any problems visiting campsites with self builds?

Please could anyone advise of a legal way to raise the height of my towball, an Alko extended, about one inch. I have a Xsara Picasso 1.6 hdi and have recently changed my van to a 2003 Swift Charisma 230. When hitched to the car it is sloping nose down which prevents me seeing through the rear bathroom window. There is a clear rear view when lifted on the jockey wheel about one inch, even...

Thought I would change the flexible gas pipe from the gas bottle regulator so bought a cut length from a dealer yesterday, was told to replace again in a year. Do you change yours every year? The caravan as been 3 times serviced by the dealer I wonder why the piece I took off was the year of manufacture of the caravan. If someone confirms it is a legal requirement I suggest you all check your...

I recently purchased a "new to me" Sterling 620 Europa, with a 13 pin socket. The tow vehicle had a 7 pin, so to tow it home I bought an adaptor. Last weekend I converted the tow vehicle to 13 pin, including a split charge relay. I now find that "due to EU EMI regulations" whenever the tow vehicle is connected, the only power allowed in the van is to the fridge, so none of the lights...

Any input / reviews regarding this adult only site please. Looking for peace and quiet no oompah bands footballs etc. Thanks

The site I'm going to is near a pub/restaurant which has a Hotspot Wi-Fi does not say it is free on its adverts. I see The Cloud is used. Anyone any experience of costs involved using this sort of place? I have also got an O2 dongle I know that to use the O2 network at £15. The O2 Directory does not list the above Hotspot. Thanks for any advise as I do find these things complicated. David

Ofcom is today asking consumers to get in touch if they have received a higher than expected mobile, landline or broadband bill in the past 12 months. Consumers can sometimes find themselves faced with bills for unexpected costs such as using their mobile abroad, making more calls than their monthly allowance, having their phone stolen, calling expensive or premium rate numbers, or...

Over the weekend my Alko jockey wheel red knob on the top of the winding handle decided to crack and lose its grip. (97 Bailey Ranger). Anyone know who might supply this part?? Tks

Hi All, About 3 yrs ago I went on a site from which I could see Bamburgh castle. Northumberland. I would like to go to the same site again, but I have forgotten the name (senior moment) and I cannot find it in any book or online, it isn't Budle bay or the one next to it. can anyone please help with this site name? Thanks in advance

To be fair most sites have to pay for all this water that you all dropping in to septic tank and its a lot of water in a week if everyone dropped all down the sluice. Far, far better to have a bucket with a hole in it dear Liza or, purchase 4 or 5 yards of black flexible hose and let it drop in the the hedgestrait our of the conection under the van. Michael

We are thinking of taking our caravan to the Scottish Borders in August. Has anyone had any personal experience of any caravan sites in the Borders? Ideally we would be looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful so anyone with any ideas please post a reply. Thanks

Bought an old megane a year ago (y reg) I normally tow with my Volvo S80 but decided as the megane is diesel and has a tow bar with electrics fitted would check it out for towing. The caravan had been stood over winter so attached the caravan to the megane and the indicators on the offside were not working, thinking as the caravan was stood all winter it would be that, 2 hours later after...
