In view of the recent snowy weather in some parts of the country lately,and the inevitable gritting of the roads, is it worthwhile undersealing a caravan to provide extra protection to the underneath of a caravan? Your thoughts please.

Hi Andrew, according to the Abbey website, it would indeed appear that all 517's are 5 berth. Hope this helps.

We picked our new Fendt up last Tuesday (30th. May), a Topas 550. We, (my wife and I),had 3 nights away this weekend to try it out. This 'van is oh so near perfect, we love it. Every last detail is just so, all the cupboard doors line up properly, the door closes properly without having to slam...

For what it's worth, I'd definately opt for the Toyota as they have always had an excellent reputation for reliability, we've certainly found our TLC to be a superb vehicle. I suppose a Land Rover dealer would say that Discoverys have improved, maybe they have but they are possibly still a...

Not actually picked it up as yet, but it's been ordered, hoping it'll be arriving in this country late next month or early April. Yes, this time we've made the decision to buy German! After an assortment of ABI's, Abbeys, Compasses and Eldiss' over the years, we've had enough. What have we...

Aha! That explains a lot, we don't have one! The boys (and girls) at Abbey would appear to have forgotten to fit it. D'oh! Thanks for taking the time to reply, swiftman.Cheers, Alan D.

Hi there, has anybody got a 2005 model year Abbey GTS Vogue with a solar panel plug in point? Apparently, on our 'van it's in the offside seatbox adjacent to the battery box. Both my wife and I have looked for it with no success, it would kinda help if we knew what the chuffin' thing looked...

Having owned a Land Rover product for the last 5 years, I can tell you exactly why anybody would buy another make of vehicle, RELIABILITY! My Land Rover has had starter motors, a gearbox and a whole list of other parts, I've got a file here 35mm thick of what it's had. Land Rovers- keep 'em!

Hi Gidders, we've recently taken delivery of a GTS Vogue 215 and to be honest we're really pleased with it. As with any new 'van I would say that if you've got it from a good dealer any faults should be picked up on the pre-delivery inspection. When we picked our 'van up the only fault found was...

Hi Pam. As regards cleaning products for your 'van, I can recommend anything by Fenwicks, it does a marvellous job with minimum effort. Available at all good caravan dealers.It can also be used on cars too, our son and daughter are always using it on their cars so that when we need some to wash...

My wife and I are wanting an estate car to tow our Abbey GTS Vogue 215, MTPLM of 1319 kg. By my reckoning to achieve an 85% match we'll be needing a car, not a 4x4, weighing in at a minimum of 1552kg, preferably a diesel. Any recommendations please?

Hi,we've had a GTS Vogue 415 from new, purchased March this year. The front panel on our 'van has cracks exactly as you describe, it was taken to the supplying dealer for other warranty work to be carried out and the cracks pointed out to the workshop foreman. Apparently this "problem" isn't...
