Hi John Yes that was my immediate thought and I argued with my husband on that point - the whole dead thing, maggots etc but we searched the entire van (and I am very fastidious about clearing van out each time we leave it) and I am convinced there was nothing left in the van. In fact I clean...

Thanks Guys. I will look at Doug's sections in back issues but from Deejay's experience I think it is worth a go. We are both semi sensible adults with a bit of know how and I really do not want to hand over

yes I retuned constantly and the big retune for freeview didnt happen until today so that was not the problem as we came home before the mass retune today. I know that Cornwall has some areas of poor reception but we were on the same pitch on same site where we have picked up all the freeview...

We want to do some delam in our van ourselves (professional cost at minimum £300 is too costly). We know from seeing previous posts on the subject that it can be done with DIY kit. Has anyone done it themselves successfully or had problems ? Mollymoo

we had the same problem last year. We lost all power whilst on site and only when we called out the mobile caravan man did he find that our charge meter was flat and ultimatley that the Zig unit was kaput. He replaced the zig unit at a cost of

We arrived at our van in Cornwall last week and on opening the door we were met with a swarm of huge flies ! When I opened the floor cupboard between the cooker and fridge more flies flew out and on further investigation we found flies in the cupboard and under the cooker. I am very fastidious...

We have been using a fairly reliable tv aerial with an LCD Tv with built in freeview on a site in Cornwall where we picked up all the available freeview channels until recently. When we were in van last week we could not pick up over half the freeview channels we previously had earlier this...

I am trying to get hold of a replacement grey insert for my van. It is where you sit the electrics when not coupled up to car - located on side of A frame cover. I have tried various caravan spares dealers and breakers with no luck so far. Can anyone suggest a place where they might have odd...

Chrissie Yes we use all sorts to push the water off but when you go to bed and it rains in the night (especially a downpour) we get up to very stretched roof in the morning. Just wondered if it was peculiar to Sunncamp and looking at other posts I see that someone else has same problem. If as...

We bought a Sunncamp Prestige full awning a couple of years ago and each time it rains the roof gets completely waterlogged and the canvas ends up bowing into the awning with the weight of the collected water. We are fairly experienced awning users and feel that we are erecting correctly and...

Hi Gary We came back from Cornwall 2 weeks ago and the new bypass (A30) was all but finished but we did get horribly held up on it ( past bodmin) on a Saturday afternoon travelling down on the 30th June. Apart from that just the usual idiots crashing caused hold ups. We usually travel down...

Oh thats a shame - but what a lovely place to live ! Carol

Thank you again Robert. The fitter bound the edges ? Wow. I will have to trawl round and see who does that.... Regards Carol

Thankyou Robert. I will ask our local caravan place if they can get it...dont know about strips though. Where are the joining strips located ? Is it obvious ...van is 100 miles away so I cant even go look. Thank you for good wishes Carol

MY question is - We have fitted carpets in our van so when we decide to get the floor delamination done I would ideally like to get rid of the fitted carpet and put down vinyl and loose carpets. So if we do that what is best type of vinyl to lay and where can I get loose carpets from ...
