If someone can tell me how to do it I can show you some piccys of the shockers with a powrtouch mover fitted to a bailey Pageant. I fitted them myself - the hardest part of the job was jacking the van up. I did have to adjust one of the motors but that was because it had been fitted closer in...

I'm assuming that you've got a clip-on type of regulator. Generally you will have to turn the regulator switch to the off position and then either push the switch lever downwards or push it inwards to release the locking mechanism from the cylinder valve.

I've got an 09 2.0TDCi S-max pulling 1420kg of van and its an excellent towcar. Pulls like a train, 30-33mpg towing and 45mpg around the country roads. Comfy and a vast area to load stuff into. Even with the two grandsons and all their clobber for a week away we have stacks of room. Previously...

Here's another person who feels that that the rules shouldn't apply to them, is it because they feel they are petty or because they are superior in some way. The garage had a rule which they were perfectly entitlesd to impose and to enforce, however Steve thought that him and his wife should be...

Gelcoat fades and discolours over time however you can get colour matching pigments to mix in with the gelcoat to change its colour. Most decent boat chandlers sell them. A gelcoat specialist will carry a selection of pigments and mix up a blend to suit but it takes a fair amount of skill to...

We've got a new S-max 2009 last year to which the Ford towbar and electrics were fitted (its made by Westfalia for Ford). The wiring uses the correct Ford module to interface with the bus system and does all the clever things with the reversing lights and parking sensors, however when we got the...

have a shufti at the Gaslow website - it's got piccys of all the adapters and the pigtails etc. The pigtails for Calor propane or butane tend to be dedicated to the cylinder, but you can get a pigtail with a standard 20mm thread which fits the various adaptors to suit the different cylinders...

We've got a 2009 2.0TDCi S-Max which is very similar to the Galaxy (all the same underneath and even the handbook is the same) - pulls our 1420kg van easily - max tow weight 1750, towball load 90kg.

Have you noticed that most of the critics against the Pegasus range, dont actually have one themselves but know of someone's wife's mother's sister's boyfriend's coachbuilder friend etc who knows or has heard that they are rubbish - so thats alright then

To answer the question do BP Gaslight cylinders fit - yes. We had 1998 Bailey ranger, a Bailey Pageant Series 6 and now a bailey Pageant Series 7 and both the 5kg and 10kg clinders fitted in all of the vans and the strap is long enough. I assume that the gas lockers on the senator range would...

Generally the rule is that there must be 6 metres between each van for prevention of spread of fire, so if someone decides that they want a bit extra and puts their van on the edge of the pitch when the rule is for the middle, then they are compromising the fire break rules. The wardens will...

I've been using BP Gaslight since it came on the market and have had no problems getting them changed (even in Inverness). Homebase and many dealers have it. It works out cheaper than CalorLite if you buy the 10kg size (last week

why do you need a cover?

Yes, a caravan shop will charge you more for it than B&Q or Homebase, but not quite as much as a yacht chandlery will. Go to B&Q etc if you need a new one

Based on your vans loaded weight of 800kg it should be 32kg minimum (4%) or the maximum of what either the car or caravan is specified which sounds like 75kg for your car. Therefore you 65kg is well in and if it tows OK don't worry
