My 2013 Elddis avante is currently awaiting repair of a cracked roof panel. When we bought it 15 months ago the dealer made no mention of any known issues with Solid construction and although there have been several issues with ours, the fridge had to be replaced then the heating broke, we love...

We've been to Blue Dolphin many times and the connections are definitely standard blue ones. Hope you enjoy the site and the views from the clifftop walk but be careful if you take children as the edge has collapsed in places. Otherwise it's a great site for exploring Scarborough, Filey...

As promised an update on our maiden voyage... The Captur handled the caravan really well although I did keep any additional weight down to absolute essentials. Had a fantastic 3 nights near York but the thought of getting back into our driveway was never far away and came into our...

Hi all. Firstly can I apologise for causing a few of you to cross swords regarding my 1st post "confused about towing weights". As stated I wanted advise about adding extra weight with a motor mover to back up our really awkward driveway and didn't expect the huge amount of effort you all put...

Thanks again to all who've taken the time to reply. I've already looked into a front towball but both Renault dealer and garage where my towbar was fitted both said not advisable. The towhitch movers were also a possibility but seem to get more negative comments than positive - have watched...

Wow! Can't tell you how much I appreciate the time and trouble you've all gone to - truly amazing! I did do a lot of research before buying the van but it's the amount of conflicting information that's now causing the issue I've got. Checked the manufacturer plate on the car today and the...

Thanks for your comments. This is why I've found the whole weight issue so confusing as various websites have given 'good match' as an answer and different info on the Capturs towing weight. I'll have a search for the plate you mentioned and check back. We did intend travelling with the...

Thanks for an instant reply Woodlandscamper. The caravan specs are: Mass in running order = 886kgs Plated MTPLM = 1043 kgs Maximum MTPLM = 1100 kgs. I'd expect a mover to add approx 30 kgs? So having one would solve a nightmare but if I'm not legal then hopefully practice will mean...

Hi all - back to touring again after a 5 year gap and took delivery of new caravan this week. Love reading all the posts and picked up quite a few tips already! Best wishes to you all.

Hi all. My first post and I hope I can get the information I need. We've taken delivery of a new Elddis Xplore 304 this week and although Renault Captur 1.5 pulls it easily I'm having a nightmare reversing the van into an impossibility tight driveway at home. I'm now totally confused over...
