Guys, Thank you for your responses, always helpful Tony, We are off to the NEC on the opening day (Tuesday 14th Oct), if we can't make a decision we can then always go back later in the week!) I've also checked out Murvi and made contact so will defo check out their stand at the show, will...

Hi, We are thinking of down sizing to an IH600 panel van conversion, does anyone have any experience regarding this company and their after sales support etc...? I seem to remember a couple of years previous they made coachbuilt motorhomes but appear to have moved their market to focus on van...

Hi Malcolm, My earlier response appears to have gone AWOL, I'll try again, not sure if this is the same fault as yours but we also had problems with our hab door locking/unlocking when using the key fob, the contacts on the lower door and frame had slightly rusted, using some 'wet&dry' over both...

Hi Malcolm, Yes, we own an Autotrail Apache 632 and very occassionally when I reverse I do not get an image, any ideas? Ours is just our of warranty now! (Purchased in April 2011)

We had the exact same problem, our dealer told us to just put the cap in boiling water and leave for a few minutes, has worked fine ever since!! Not sure what goes on here but a simple fix to an annoying problem

Hi Tony, It was a glider I used at the London glider club based out at Dunstable, Tina got me a lesson as a b'day pressie a few years back, thoroughly recommend it, but as an ex Matelot think I'll stick to the sea & motorhoming in retirement!!

Hi, We wanted to do exactly the same ourselves before we bought our first motorhome and had two dogs onboard. We opted for a company called Motorholme, they put you in touch wit owners of motorhomes who want to hire them out to make some revenue when they are not using the vehicle themselves...

Johndion55, Thank you, so will you then share your 'many' information about van security with the forum. Thanks

Hi John, Thank you for your response, the locks look simple but effective, as we had not yet decided on the best way forward think we will order a pair of these. Thanks again for the link, much appreciated. Alan

Just a word of warning, bodyshops tend to finish a repair job with matching 'paint', as you would expect with a car panel, most motorhome panels are GRP/Fibreglass, in my view the best repair is to use the manufacturers 'gelcoat' which can be applied by a GRP specialist and is a lot lot thicker...

Hi, We also had minor reversing damage which crunched the fibreglass on the rear lower panel, I wrote an article in the January edition of the magazine "finding a fix for our fibreglass" which provided details of a mobile GRP specialist who did a great repair job whilst the van was parked on our...

Brum43, Thank you for your feedback, yes we do leave our m'home on the drive just outside the front door when we are not touring so will look further into your suggestion. Thanks again for your input, very much appreciated

Tony, Thanks for getting back to me, the avtar was indeed me sitting in a glider, had a flying lesson as a b'day pressie one year and took off from the London gliding club in Dunstable, great experience! but alas just a one-off. We like to think we are sensible regarding to where we park-up and...
