How do you manage refilling water and emptying toilet? url:http://myreader.co.uk/msg/13151869.aspx

Hello all, I have a long term illness (I am 53, single) which means I get help (housing benefit) with rent. Rent is £400pm and I was paying £50. New austerity measures now mean many of us are going to be unable to afford to live where we are now and HB is being reduced to £300, which is what they reckon we should be paying for South East Lincs. Which is ridiculous. My illness means that in a few...

I am buying snow chains for a Hymer 584, 3.9 ton. I was going to buy one set for the front drive but have been advised to buy two sets for all tyres, to prevent rear end slide. Any advice on that would be appreciated.

Anyone know what a renault extra camper is.like, i'm thinking of buying one for a grand!

Has anyone had experience of leaving a motorhome in a foreign country whilst returning home. We have to come back from Italy and need to leave the van at Perugia but there does not appear to be any long term secure parking available. An alternative could be to return from Rome or Milan but that would be a last resort. Any ideas?

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?

Good morning all. I'm young retired and currently single. Fed up with being stuck in the same place renting and have real itchy feet. I quite fancy full time touring. Maybe staying a month on one site then moving on etc. Maybe one day find a really nice site which will let me stay full time. I have been camping, caravanning and motorhoming. Too old for full time camping now and I find...

Just had my renewal notice through from clubcare (MCE for car) and it had gone up over £500 from last year (changed cars midterm for a cheaper one) to nearly £1000. Sod that. Decided to shop around on moneysaving expert http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/ and using their comparisons on money supermarket http://www.moneysupermarket.com I got a quote from echoice (Royal Sun Alliance) of £237 I ran...

A couple of weeks ago I went to the testing station to book in my (French) van. I explained it was just 3 years (and a few weeks) old. In France they are not tested until 4 years!! So I have another twelve months to save up for it. John --

The group seems far too quiet, so here is a thread for anyone to join. For me, Scotland trip in July Dumfries and Galloway, Trossachs, Arisaig, 3 nights on Skye, 1 night on a Forestry Commission car park overlooking the Sound of Mull, 3 nights on Mull, 2 nights in Edinburgh. Our first extended holiday using the 'van' (a Wellhouse Leisure Granvia conversion). Very happy with everything, apart...

Hi, We used to have a caravan when the kids were living with us. They grew up and left and we resorted to more usual holidays. Now we want to try a two berth campervan. We recently visited NZ and found loads there, almost every one being rented by a Brit or other European. And it looked great. So we want to try it out for a week in October.

Anyone know if there are different types of gas available at petrol stations and, if so, what they are? I was once told by a garage cashier that the gas they had wasn't suitable for my motorhome. He directed me to another garage where I was able to fill up. Looking round for some info on the topic I think the motorhome can fill up with LPG which is also available under a brand name of Autogas. ...

Hi does anybody have any details as to what the correct tyre pressure should be for a Swift Royale 5.9m (mine is a 1996 model). I have contacted Swift who referred me to a Fiat dealer. i have checked my Fiat handbook and label on the door and it states 5 bar (apx. 73 psi)but a tyre dealer thought this was too excessive. Regards Dave

....even tho' we try and manoevre as carefully as possible. So, for this one we've (her idea) tightly tied a piece of string round the outlet in the roof and attached the other end to the chimney cap - that keeps coming off. We reckon by the time the gases from the fire get up there they'll be cool enough not to worry about the heat. Anyone else use this idea?

What does it cost to hire a campervan locally in the Netherlands? Are there plenty advertised at Amsterdam airport that you can just call up and not have to book ahead, what with the GFC and all? One with a shower and toilet that will accommodate two people comfortably but us usually advertised as a 4 berth, which is really rubbish if you want any comfort. Typical 2 to 2.5 Litre diesel rig, for...
