Bit difficult to work out but THINK I'm getting there. Be nice IF I can see this test message! Bernard in Tring

Thanks Steve. I would never have thought of that in a month of Sundays! Back to our original plan. Bernard in Tring

An apology for asking a question which has no doubt been asked a hundred times previously but unfortunately cannot find any details when I 'search'. Question and your advice relates to 'best practice' in respect of the concertina style window blinds, particularly the large front three part...

I too was very taken at the NEC with the Kampa Air and wish I had been brave enough to go for it. Waiting until May seems an awfully long time! It is the appeal of the quick build that appeals as we get older. One question to users is we have an Isabella Magnum absolutely brilliant and not...

After a number of torturous weeks and help not only from this forum, but together with considerable help and able assistance from representatives of Phantom Tracker and Sargent Alarms the culprit of this fiasco of having to change tthe battery every twelve to fourteen days has been traced to the...

Think for any Coachman spares you will be directed to visit your Dealer if an approach is made to Coachman. Also think any good caravan accessory shop will be able to provide. Sorry not in a position to advise of reason for failure. As a common part, sure someone will be able to assist...

Mant thanks to you both for comments and advice. Very much appreciated Bernard

Recently taken delivery of van equiped with a microwave. I have tried searching the site but without success and therefore sorry if this question has been previously answered. If a microwave is used for other than say heating up a quick coffee or a defrost, i.e. cooking something for a...

In response to Surfer, the Caravan is a 2014 Coachman and in a way I think you are right although at the moment I do no know what is to blame; still trying to sort it out. Although there is what is simplistically called a 'Master Switch' in my view it is something of an incorrect definition. It...

Many thanks JTQ for such a detailed and informative explanation, plus prompt response. It is very much appreciated. Fortunately I do have the correct sized Tester. Just to clarify this is a new van out of the Coachman stable and it is they who have fitted the 80w solar panel to the roof and...

Evening, I am having a similar problem despite a new Banner battery being fitted and only lasting sixteen days before wanting a recharge. In addition to the Sargent alarm I have a Phantom Tracker. Posted to Techical on 3rd December 2013 under 'Solar Panel @ Phantom Tracker. Still tring to sort...

Thanks to all for the information, especially the calculations; phew! One last request and I know it will have been asked numerous times before, so an apology for that, but if you charge a battery at home, I've a c-teck charger, what should the initial reading be when transferred to the van...

Aimed at JQT please, or other contributors if you wish. In your experience would an 80watt flat roof fitted panel keep a Phantom alarm functioning, current model of alarm, using a new Banner 100 rated battery. Nothing else, on or used, during the winter months. If not, what are your...

Until I read this posting, no idea there was a problem. Received my subscription copy must be nearly three weeks ago. No e- mail, but another surprise in this mornings post; yes another copy. Passed on to a fellow dog walker and caravaner. Oh dear, the cost! Bernard.

Evening to you, I had a Coachman 460/2 for nearly seven years and absolutely no problems of the type described. Recently taken delivery of a newer model and IF this occurs in the future, I would be very inclined to take several digital photographs of the problem and then to e-mail them to...
