    Awnings which overlap windows.

    We had a porch awning for about 5 years, the side of which unavoidably ran across the toilet window - I simply placed a short length of 15mm pipe insilation on the edge of the canvas - and never had a scratch.

    Windermere

    Windermere

    James, I realise that this is now a bit of a late response, but Windermere C&CC clubsite is one of our regulars ... but definitely only out of season as it's quite a big site and gets very busy. It's actually about 7 miles from Windermere, so don't expect to wander into the town of an...

    Roof TV Ariel

    Al-Ko wheel lock receiver

    I bought up this business of a "visual deterrent" with both Swift and Alko a few years ago, as I also cover the lock with the awning - the former never replied and the latter just sent me a tiny sticker to put on an offside window saying something like "Beware, Alko lock fitted" ! Aldo PS It...

    My CO alarm woke me up.

    This happened to me last summer, virtually word-for-word as described above. You have to ask ... if these chargers are as "smart" as the manufacturers claim, why aren't they clever enough to detect that they're suddenly pushing large amounts of charge into a battery that's obviously in trouble?

    Swift Talk Forum.

    It is a big deal if there's no "reset password" tab :( However, I later accidently clicked on the "Swifttalk" logo at the top of the page and then a button appeared ... sorted. Thanks, John

    Sprite Alpine 4SB - does it exist?

    Thank goodness, I thought I was going barmy when I couldn't find it on the web! Any idea when the Alpine article is coming out? John

    Sprite Alpine 4SB - does it exist?

    In the December PC magazine there is a short article on the new models at the NEC, and it mentions the new "Sprite Alpine 4SB with transverse island bed and end washroom". Now, as I fancied upgrading from our 3-year-old Alpine, I thought I would check this out ... but I can find no mention of...
