    Bathroom Tap Problem

    Not sure of that specific tap but if there is a blue/red indicator for cold hot on the tap top stem then with the plug in so you lose nothing (!) take this out behind which may be a tiny Allen screw. With this loosened (rather than removed entirely) the tap head should lift off giving you access...

    Bathroom shower

    When towing I always unhook the head and place it in the watering can on the shower tray. I use the can for filling the loo. Maybe a similar placement would solve your issue?

    Correct whale pump socket replacement

    If you google ‘whale water pump calibration’ scrolling below the AI response will show images of both IC and Manual adjustment pages from Whale that can be printed. If you do go manual - I always use EHU and once set for a replacement pump I never need to readjust - but if off grid you may need...

    Electrics issue

    Lights and pump will be 12v and therefore able to run off the caravan battery while it has charge without mains supply. The water temperature should be limited to 65 or 70C so definitely not bubbling hot if that is what you have heard.

    Jockey Wheel change

    To order online you need the overall diameter, the axle diameter, and the width of the wheel across the axle and lastly the widths of the ‘tyre’. Then you should find plenty of suppliers for you. I did mine recently but failing to measure the axle width I had to use a couple of metal washers so...

    Motor mover

    Sounds like coincidence rather than direct cause and effect. First thing I would check would be mains connection at the bollard - some are just push in while some are insert and twist for example. Then have any of the breakers tripped on the distribution unit. If the problem is 12v also check...

    Bailey Seville or Swift Charisma 230

    Added to Birdman's post above you may get a starter kit - which could include things from a battery through to a number plate... our was about £600 retail at the time. If buying from a dealer you should expect some warranty. Either way private or dealer ask for a full demo to check that...

    Bailey Seville or Swift Charisma 230

    As has been said overall condition, service records and DAMP test report are likely to be the most important. Without looking it up a fitted motor mover would cost upwards of £600 and depending on what is included in the sale (although some items maybe available secondhand) factor in for example...

    Whale water pump stopped working

    Might be worth taking the strainer off the submersible pump and while disconnected from the caravan ensure the impeller can rotate with a small screwdriver.

    Good or bad?

    Eye tests are free for me generally but I was required to have an eye test when I renewed my licence at 70 with the results sent to DVLA. I had a list of opticians to choose from and used a local Specsavers. So if the proposed new system was similar it would incur a cost to DVLA.

    Spirit levels

    Saw in local Aldi today in the central isles a small box of 4 spirit levels - £2.99. Including one circular where bubble settles in the middle and one triangular in shape with two levels that some might mount on the A-frame cover.

    Blackout Blinds

    Looking in my Elddis van all of the fixed curtain tracks are twin tracks. If yours is the same it should be fairly simple to make suitably sized rectangular curtains out of black out material - buy some matching runners to sew every few inches along the curtain top replicating the existing...

    Swift Challenger 560 island bed - extension?

    Not sure if it is possible or solves your problem but how about turning it head to toe to sleep on so the rounded corners are beneath the pillows?

    More scam

    Just had the same message on my iphone as you Hutch. I simply deleted it but have now had 3 further messages with short expletives apparently from the same sender. Disturbing abuse on and of my phone!

    Towng with different-sized spare on van

    If you want to check the tyre age look for a ‘lozenge’ shape on the side wall. 4 digits so as an example 0423 was manufactured in the fourth week of 2023. As noted above the recommendation is to change the tyres after 5 to 7 years regardless of the appearance as they degrade before they wear...
