I’m going to get a nose weight device and then see what it is, I’ll be amazing if it’s much more than 60kg, In the boot of the car it’s only really luggage such as clothing, maybe kids scooters few bits for the caravan. Not much weight wise In the rear of caravan is water hog, waster hog, few...

Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong. My noseweight is no where near 90kg but my steering feels light so surely adding more nose weight would make that worse

Yeah tyre pressure is good, No I have only estimated the nose weight so Ill have to go get one of them nose weight measuring devices It is best to load the nose weight to the max allowed, I had assumed a lighter nose weight would make the car less bouncy. It’s due a service so I’ll get the...

Recently changed car to a 2.0tdci 2013 S max an found it to be quite jittery when towing, on A roads its quite bouncy and on motorways it gets the occasional wobble, nothing too bad just ease off the gas an it’s fine. It has plenty of power an even big hills are no problem at all even in high...

Why wouldn’t you want to collect/tow it yourself. Just last week I drove to Spain to pick up a caravan purchased from eBay. 2500 mile round trip, towing it back was the best part :)

Ours will quite often trip if we boil a kettle or have the microwave running all at once. But I guess that is normal???!

Yes it is the ultra store system And yes also a red light beside it. Both the uktrastore and the ultra heat have the same red and green lights on them So is the ultra heat dial solely for the heating and the ultrastore solely for the water heater. The ultra heat works perfect. I turn the...

It’s Truma, these 2 dials on the wall opposite the fridge. One dial does the heating which turns between 0/500/1000/2000. The other is the dial that does the water and only switches between Off and on which is a picture of a flame

Hi I’m After a little advice, After filling the hot water tank I switch the control on to heat the water but it took ages to heat and I couldn’t hear the tank bubbling away as it usually does. Eventually I messed about with a the controls and gas an it started to get hot. After looking in the...

Our qashqai is a 2.0 petrol. I’m sure the Picasso will get the job done but like me you will find it just lacks the torque needed for towing. On the motorway it’s fine once you are going, its just the pulling away at junctions An hill starts were you will notice it.

Looks perfectly legal, I thought the 550/6 would have been heavier than that. I’m on the same licence with a Nissan qashqai and the thing we struggle with is all the equipment that goes with it, Obviously cant load too much in the caravan and then getting it all in the car is a struggle. I’m...

Last year we purchased our first caravan A swift accord 570 As it didn’t come with an awning we purchased a 2nd hand one from gumtree. Unfortunately it was not the size that it was advertised at and was too big for our caravan. We used it last year as we had no choice but the sides were...

Anyone know whether it is possible/cost effective to have small dents repaired on my caravan. There must be around 20 small dents on the outside from awning poles/accidents etc none any bigger than a penny and not deep maybe 3mm. Caravan is 10 years old so don't want to spend loads but would...

Thanks for all the replys. I'll check out the cars that some of you have recommended. I am a catagory b holder so the 3500kg train weight along with the other rules that goes with being cat b holder makes it difficult to tow a larger caravan. Ideally I need to do the test and get a better tow...

Been trying to find a car that is mam 2100kg and capable of towing a 1400 max weighted caravan, my 2.0 petrol qashqai just don't have enough power
