Hi I purchased the Ventura S7000 earlier this year for my mega trip thru France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Czech Rep & Poland and it did not put a wheel wrong. It also has multi-route which I can pre programme up to 10 camp sites and preview routing before I travel. My in-car BMW satnav was...

I would agree with most postings. I had Tyrons fitted when I bought the new van 3 years ago believing the marketing!! When I change my tyres next year I will have them taken off as just too much hassle especially as I do most of my hols in Europe where they do not have a clue what to do! I...

Hi Ian I always have used my pressure washer on the car & caravan. I have one of the T-Racers which is great for cleaning the roof. My main dealer uses a pressure washer all the time to keep their stock sparkling. Obviously care is required around the mastic seals but other than that have...

Hi I had my new van Paintsealed from new 3 years ago and it still looks like new now. Well worth the £390 I paid for both external and internal (scotchguard type treatment). I have also always had my last 3 new cars done in the same sort of sealer. Paintseal will come out and do it at your...

Hi Tiz Best way for Denmark is via DFDS from Harwich to Esbjerg on Jutland (19 Hour crossing great food onboard). Then cross bridge to Fyn and then across another bridge bridge to Zealand and Copenhagen. Have to say having lived in Denmark for 2 years it is not the most "exciting place"...

Hi You do not say which motor mover but I am assuming PowerTouch. I have had this same clicking on both sides over the past year. The first was last summer and the second this summer. On both occasions I just contacted Powertouch and they had an engineer out within a couple of days to...

Hi This is quite common on the 12S socket - it is called "Pin 7 BurnOut". It happend to me this year whilst away in France. Lucky I always carry both 12N & 12S plug and sockets in my spares pack. I also took the opportunity to carry out the following modification on the 12S caravan Plug...

Hi Tim I had the same problem last year in Poland & Austria when temp was up in the mid to high 30's. I made a sun shade out of one of those car windscreen silver reflector shades, 6 rubber suckers to hold it against the caravan at the top above the top fridge vent and then a couple of...

Hi I purchased the Waeco CoolFreeze 35 earlier this year after same experiences also fitted a Vento double fridge fan to the upper exhaust vents of the caravan fridge. The Coolfreeze can work all the way down to -18c so we used it as an additional freezer to the caravan freezer compartment...

Hi I fitted one of these Vento dual fans which are designed for the job - http://www.the12voltshop.co.uk/Shop/cell-phones/fridge-fans/ to the fridge top vent with a couple of cable ties. It has manual & auto operation and built in adjustable temp control. Just come back from the South of...

Hi Keith I have just changed the Daewoo microwave in my S6 Pageant with the one on offer in Lidl - it has addition of a Grill and fitted into the slot nicely. At

Hi Reg You will find that the current door lock is a HARTAL which is fitted as standard in nearly all makes of caravan. There has been a major issue with Hartal locks for 2+ years now, the mechanism gets very stiff and you are finally in danger of breaking your key in the lock. I have had two...

I run my 12v LCD tv direct from the 12v battery supply along with my 12v sky digibox without any issues at all. Just like 240v TV supplies which can be anything from 210 - 250v then a proper 12v TV will be engineered to work on a supply between 10.5v and 14.2ish). This topic has come up many...

Hi It sounds like your 240v element has broken. In that case only solution is to replace it - best done by a qualified fridge person at your local caravan dealership. Alan
