We’ve usually put our caravan in storage over the winter but this year we have the option of using it. does anyone actually go away over the winter months and find it enjoyable?

Thank you all, an hour soaked in diluted bleach as done the trick

How do people clean the inside of their waste master? Ours is becoming smelly and it’s full of grime, i was thinking of soaking it in some bleach

So basically just accept what they offer? And what normally happens with the caravan? Do they take it or do they leave it with me to try and get rid off it?

Hello all I posted the other day and had some amazing help so hoping for the same today. basically we took our caravan out and unfortunately reversed into a tree, couldn’t see any obvious damage so put it into winter storage and then of course Covid happened so couldn’t get back to the van...

Hello all we need to get new tyres for our Bailey ranger 460/4. any idea where to look, is there such a thing as mobile fitter and are they expensive? thank you

Thank you & any questions I won’t hesitate to ask, you’ve all been helpful

The caravan mechanic has been and accessed the damage. when we reversed into the tree last year we have actually cracked the body work in 2 places. Both of which are letting water into the van. One crack is right next to the awning rail on the roof and the other like I showed you on the...

Lesson learnt I will have to wait and see what the man says tomorrow. Perhaps they would be able to fix the source of the leak quickly and at a reasonable cost to stop further damage & then we could save up to get the inside replaced and made up to a good standard. As I said earlier I will in...

We have a full service booked in 2 weeks time, although I’m now beginning to think maybe the caravan life is only for the elite. I never knew they were sceptical to all these problems and if so how an earth do people afford to keep them on road?

Unfortunately we’ve never had to van serviced since we bought it. Regretting that now but lesson learnt for future reference. Funnily enough we have booked a full service which is being done in 2 weeks. Once we’ve sorted this out I will always make sure I keep on top of servicing from now on. I...
