Hi, I want to give my caravan an all over wax. Side, front and back are no problem, but how do you get to the hard to reach section on the roof? I did read somewhere once you can walk on the roof of Baileys (not that I would do this!!!). Any advice would be welcome. Cheers Craig.

Hi, extreme, but if it works. This is ok if your van is out of warranty but mine is only 1 year old, it's just a shame caravan manufactures don't use this product when they build their vans and save on the frustrations of caravan owners trying to keep the black streaks at bay! Thanks Craig.

Hi, I have just took the plunge and purchased a motor mover for our twin axle van. While I was doing my homework into which one to buy I had mixed feedback to which size battery I would need (85amp or 110amp). It is a Powertouch Twin (the one with 2 motors) and my van is 1642kg. I will only use...

Hi, I have tried various methods to remove those stubborn black streaks, purpose made products and a few more un-conventional products. I have used T-Cut which works really well, because it's an abrasive product I rub very lightly and only on the actual streaks and it still removes the black...

Hi, we have just got back from a week in Norfolk with our caravan. We stayed at the Caravan Club site Seacroft, there was only a few pitches left that were very difficult to get onto which resulted in a very smelly clutch and a bit of smoke. As a result we have decided to invest in a motor...

Just to clarify the last post, the 12v will not lower the temperature of the fridge, it will only maintain it. So if you hook up the electric over night to get the fridge nice and cold when you hitch up to the car this will maintain the temp until you get to your destination (the beer should...

Hi, I have been told today that the spacer we have on our witter towbar is illegal! the spacer is about 1 1/2". It is on to allow the plate that protects your bumper when hitching up to fit. Without it the plate would not clear the bumper on our Sorento. Can someone please advise me on this, IS...

Hi, I've seen these lightweight gas bottles around and would like to know more. I'm unsure who makes them, how much lighter they really are (6kg size) and also how readily available they are, we tend to only stay on caravan club sites so can you get them from the cc site? Thanks Craig.

Hi All, we have just bought the new Bailey Loire S7 T/A and have started the awful task of trawling the insurance companies. I eventually found one called Crusader Leisure Vehicle Insurance who are very very competitive, they quoted me new for old £100 excess on direct debit at a total of...

I know this is down to personel preference but how many gas bottles do people carry on their van? 1 or 2 and why? The reason I'm asking is we are have just ordered the new Bailey Pageant Loire S7, we have a Sorento to pull it with so no probs there but I do want to keep the weight down on the...

Hi, hopefully this will answer everyones questions and queries. I have just spoken to Bailey themselves on the helpline number listed on their website. Right, to ensure you maintain your Bailey warranties all services must be done by either a Bailey retailer or a Bailey service centre (these...

Hi, I am thinking of buying the 260 or 390 but can't decide which one to go for. I don't want to buy the 260 and then wish I'd gone for the 390 with much more space. Could someone please give me an idea to how long both sizes take to erect with 1 and 2 people, if the 390 is a similar time to the...

Hi Martin, thanks for your reply. Is it the basic package from sky you get which is about 21.50 ish and do you get the same channels in the second box as you get at home, also do you get c4 & c5, thanks.

I'm a little confused, I'm in the process of buying and setting up sky for our caravan and need to know if I bought a second sky box for the van would my sky viewing card work from home? Some people say it does others say it won't. I would appreciate any feedback on this before I spend my hard...

Hi, we purchased our first new van in August, a Bailey 550/6 Ranger. We are not impressed with the level of service received, i.e. waiting weeks on end and constantly chasing them when ordering small extras we needed, and because of this we want to go elsewhere for the service but are led to...
