    Upgrading Truma Heater...can I do this?

    Hi there We have the original heater fitted in our '94 Bailey Discovery and although it's working fine we'd like a bit more heat output as we travel all year round. We've looked into this quite thoroughly and decided that it would be replaced with a new Truma S3002 heater (not blown air) and...

    NR Awnings - reviews

    Hey Do any of you own or used a NR awning? We have been looking recently and can get a new 2005 from our local dealer for £300 but haven't really heard of them. It's a Pullman model so the four panels come out (thinking that this could be ideal to help putting the thing up as it would be...

    Driving licence for towing

    Big Al is right It's a tad confusing and I looked into this a few years ago as I too have the same licence. You can tow a maximum train weight of 3500kg. You cannot tow anything heavier than the kerbweight of your car - so if car is 1200kg and trailer is 1250kg it's a no-no. You can tow a...

    Caravan Site Tycoon - Years in the Making....indeed!

    I wonder if there's a patent issue with them launching the game if Trailer Park Tycoon exists? although I doubt it - how else could there be so many war games and flight simulators etc... Nope - I think they just can't be bothered! A

    aerial phots

    I use google earth, I think it's great and have loads of fun - my mates showed us exactly where they stay in florida and I could show mine where we went in Hungary (i was excited as I'd never been abroad before!) Just a hint though - it does need broadband and a fairly able pc to run

Bits missing from the forum snippet on page 22 more text missing from the news section on page 11 - the bit about Exeter caravans paying for the B+E test (shame cos I would really like to know more about this!!)

    Twin axle Feb06 mag comment

    I think the thread has gone a bit awry. We tow with a small single axle - never felt any need for a twin axle. Only thing I can think about is the manouverability of these vans, its tricky for us to store our caravan on our drive unless we take it off the car and move the van by hand to...
