Looking good but what about the wheels?

Interesting. I was thinking of having one on the caravan roof electrically powered but the added complications of a glued down flat solar panel and an aerial in the mounting area put me off. I'm sure it would be possible but my caravan specialist didn't instil me with confidence. If he'd said...

Taken off my twin axle (fitted to the rear axle). No box or remote but can be seen working. Some joins in the wires. Complete with mounting bar and clamps. Collection only from Southport. £200 cash.

No. . . I must have missed that. . It's like being in a sweet shop in 1965. . Too many goodies to take in. .

Beardy, thanks for the heads up. Just been to lidl specifically for that. . Unfortunately spent more than intended on other goodies. . .

High income tax payer, no income tax payer doesn't matter. . This forum is like being in a pub. . High income; low income; big spenders or not. . We have forum commentators with new 'vans, new cars and others with 20 year old cars and 'vans. . We all have commitments financially. We all could do...

Ah. .I would like to but one finger texting is my limit.

Ah, yes. . Fred Drift here. . My father had a 3 litre and then a v8. . In 1977 I bought an MGBGTV8 with the same engine (instead of a deposit on a house). And towed with it. . I still have the car.

I don't think you "were looked down on". . We are all people watchers. . Life's a learning curve. . Caravanning is to be embraced and enjoyed. . Some 'vanners are pitched up and having a beer before I've decided where I want to pitch. . . It's not a competition. . Nice and easy and in your...

Yes. . . Or maybe "You can't take it with you".

Prof, I could hear you typing before you pressed the send button. On I topic you have commented previously, I am the caravan manufacturer's and dealer's ideal customer having bought 8 new caravans since I started this "hobby". I do tend to be loyal to manufacturers and dealers. I had 5 British...

I appreciate what you are saying but I live a non confrontational life. I try not to do stress. It has taken 3 visits with the caravan to the dealer to resolve this problem so it's cost me time and money but I'm happy to move on and carry on caravanning. . .

My dealings have been with the manufacturer and dealer. It's not for me to mention them when they are not here to respond. Everyday we learn something new. . In this case, if there is something stopping free movement of the brake lever there is an issue. I'm sure my case is an isolated issue.

You're talking my language. . . A bit of lateral thinking and there's always a solution. Let us know when the job's done.

I don't want to mention the manufacturer or dealer. It's a new caravan. . I am now happy with the way the manufacture and dealer have responded to my problem. My frustration was the initial lack of concern by the dealer service desk. I felt they thought I was a grumpy old fella being fussy.. ...
