I may be replying to this too late. However, it may be of benefit. We began caravanning around 3 1/2 years ago having never towed. I'm a confident driver but wanted just what you described as a "towing for idiots" course. At the time I was a member of the caravan club and signed up for their...

Yeah that’s correct. Mine has two unsealed holes that the engineers said was a risk due to battery gases. Thanks to this forum an easy repair.

Thanks for all the replies, it is really appreciated. I'm ordering some Milliput.

Thanks Clive. Unfortunately the holes are not neat so not sure that good idea would work. Caravan is in storage (100 miles away on store and stay) so I’m not able to measure yet.

Hi, My caravan previously had a DIY solar panel (the type that rests against the window) for charging the battery when in storage. This is no longer needed but there are holes in the battery box where the cables entered to the battery from under the bench seat. My caravan was recently serviced...

Thanks for this tip. Thats exactly where it was.

I wanted to update this thread in the hope that anyone else experiencing the same issue may be reassured or not! After all each situation and caravan can vary! As the travel restrictions were reduced we got to visit our caravan which is stored on-site in a secure barn-type building. We had not...

I feel very reassured by many of these replies. Also learned a lesson and Ill pull cushions away from walls between visits just in case I can't get down again in the future. I always open taps and drain valve when we leave so I think the only gamble if I cant get down in a few weeks is...

Thanks John and others for the reply. The caravan is a 2018 avante 550 so not very old, hence my worries! There is no alarm and I’m happy to take a hit on a new battery if I need to. My worry is more damage to furniture if I can’t get down to move cushions etc due to lockdown restrictions...

Hi all We store our caravan in an indoor storage facility on the caravan site we use which is 100 miles away. We normally use the caravan once a month except when the site closes in January and February. This year due to lockdown and travel restrictions we last used it in September. We were...

Interesting. The UK Tiguan forum is full of people complaining about the same issue. Mine is a 2018 RLine 150. On the test drive, I thought the delay was down to me coming from a more powerful diesel. But no it is so bad pulling out of junctions I've had a number of near misses due to the exit...

I own a Tiguan and have had various BMW's in the past. If you enjoy spirited driving go for the 520. A point to note on any test drive of the Tiguan if DSG. See if you are happy with the throttle pick up. It's not the "diesel delay" but a well-known issue where there is a significant delay...

Excellent Sikaflex 512 it is then. Thanks

Thanks for these suggestions. My worry is that while driving the adhesives may not be strong enough. However ive never used the tape or Silkaflex!

Hi all Ive purchased a rear view camera with built in battery. The mount is magnetic but the caravan isnt :). Im looking at using a sealant to either fix the camera mount to the roof or rear of my caravan or to fix a strong magnet to the roof to mount the camera mount on. Any idea of which...
