Hello, Over the last couple of years I have been considering the purchase of a motorhome (remembering the holidays when I was a kid in my parents VW) I life on the Isle of Man and so there is no where local to buy campers, so I am looking round ebay. I want something thats comfortable and self - contained that will cope

I have damaged my Rimor camper side skirts and Rimor no longer supply the parts. Any idea who or what I can use to adapt something?

The silly rubber trim insert that goes on the chrome trim that covers the exterior joins, awning rails etc is a real pain in the backside, stretching, hardening, falling out etc who's bright idea was that? Surely a far better idea would be to use a semi hardening sealant instead, or even a hardening one that can be pulled out in one piece where necessary? The insert is hardly a good fit anyway...

Can anyone recommend some camp sites in germany, suitable for a motorhome? My children are 14, 10 and 8 so a camp site with plenty to do would be the most ideal. Thanks

If you need a base camp, so you can travel on a budget, around this country and abroad, then it’s worth viewing the self-sufficient mobile home at :- motor caravans - caravan

Use to work fitting bodies to various chassis cabs, suh as Lutons, Pickups, Flat beds. It's just occured to me that, in theory, it should be fairly straightforward to remove a luton camper body from an old chassis, and put it on a newer chassis. Say a transit 1994 upgrade to a transit 2001 or whatever. The chassis cabs are completely self contained so no complicated issues there. So if you had...

Hi Folks, 1985 low mileage Mercedes 307D motorhome. Had a new ignition switch fitted a few months ago (thanks to thieves) and I now have a very baffling fault. I noticed it was getting very sluggish at the starter. Charged the battery fully and it seemed to drain completely with a

My wife and I hope to drive from Calais, across Germany and into southern to mid Poland. We have done wild camping in the UK but have decided that it probably is not safe to do so in Poland. In the UK we like small 5 van type sites. I understand that there are Stelplatz in Germany that work like the aires in France. Are there any similar set ups in Poland? Are they safe to stay on? Has...

A porta potti takes less room in a small van and so more storage space is left for other things. In use: how much more convenient is a swivel cassette toilet compared to a porta potti ? Not having used either is the main difference in ease of disposal of waste between the two? Is porta potti really suitable only for emergencies and/or by children? Best regards divoch

Currently we are using two big heavy chunks of wood to level our motorhome. They are heavy and take a lot of space up. Are the plastic levellers from the caravan shops any good? What do you use for levelling your van with success? TIA.

Hi all Does anyone know of an MOT station in SW Scotland that can accomodate a 23ft motorhome ( 9ft something high)?? :o)

I notice that several LCD t.v.'s in the supermarket are 12v DC input rated at 4 or 5 amps. Will a leisure battery manage to run one of these? John (not an electrician) -- John Mulrooney NOTE Email address IS correct but might not be checked for a while.

Hello, Just bought a Lidl camper sat t.v. kit (small dish + decoder and bits) and it picks up Astra1 pretty well in Lancashire. (On mains power) Anyone experienced using such a small dish in continental Europe. I'm assuming the decoder works just as well on 12v. John --

I want to buy my first motorcaravan but am pretty nervous about getting a dud. My main concerns are corrosion of something structural and buying something stolen. Since I want to take it to Europe buying something on which money is owed could fall back on me under the law in some countries. Any advice on what a person should check when buying a second hand motorhome especially if bought...

After having a new cab battery fitted a Month ago the thing if flat again. Apart from the alarm system there is nothing else left on. Have checked all cupboard lights etc. Any ideas please John

Saw a sound proof kit, somewhere last year, to fit under the hood to kill some of the engine noise in a ducato. Can anyone guide me to who sells this kit, and better still has anyone tried this kit and does it improve the sound level Thanks

(Was tempted to title this, "Paint your wagon?" but fortunately sense prevailed.) I've seen a motorhome which I like _except_ that it's paint is a mixture of beige, grey, and puce. Yuck! Is it possible to paint it as one would a house (rather than as one would a car)? Any suggestions for changing it to a pristine white?? -- TIA,
