    Sorry about your weekend but your comments about FAL certainly gave me and SHMBO a good laugh.

    How Far

    Well, thank's for all your comments. I must admit, when we have had the van on the drive for cleaning or an early start, when I'm inside, it feels like another place. Bri

    How Far

    Thats propably my main reason not to spend any time close to home. If I met someone who I knew, they just wouldn't beleive I'm in my van just down the road.

    Why is the Caravan Industry Slow and Ineficient?

    Well, my vans still at Campbells Preston / Leyland which is where I purchased the van. Its a secure compound which had loads of vans on to be serviced, so I'm certainley not on my own re time.

    Why is the Caravan Industry Slow and Ineficient?

    Just as well I didn't need the van this week but I shall ask why it takes so long compared to others, now I have had some comments.

    Why is the Caravan Industry Slow and Ineficient?

    I take my van for a service and they want it for between 5 and 8 days!!!!!! I take my car at 09:00hrs and I have it back serviced and valeted by 12:30 the same day. Perhaps we as caravan owners have become so complacent we accept the unacceptable?

    BAILEY ORION 430/4 AWNING

    Your awning size is 929cm for that van. I have an Isabella Capri Lux which is 925cm and fits OK. I think most awnings have a range + or - their given size.

    Remove smoking smells etc

    You have said the Battery is shot, thats probably your answer. Also is it still connected? I'm not absolutly certain but I seem to recall you need one fitted for the 12v system to function even on 240v plugin. I stand to be corrected on that though.
