I was thinking of purchasing a Maplins 13w solar charger for the caravan whilst on storage. Still not sure about the use of "charge controllers/regulators" as the data on the internet implies that you need one but Parksy (Moderator) said it is not necessary under 15w? Also the instructions...

I have a 2007 Honda CRv, newer shape, and the rear seats will not slide if they are not clipped down properly. Sometimes I have to pull the release tab lift the seat and then push firmly down. The position of the back rest can also effect the slide adjuster.

We bought the Lunar because the bed is narrower in the Coachman (need the space!) and in the long term if we have to down size the towcar for any reason the Lunar is lighter than the Coachman so better choice of car! The Lunar is great.

Hi Andrew and Sally We waited seven months for delivery of our Lunar Clubman SE, ordered 5 Nov delivered end of May. Our caravan came with a bigger washhand basin in the bathroom, thankfully, and the new extractor fan both 2011 features. We are delighted with the Lunar and the only 2011 feature...

Mick We have just got delivery of our new Lunar clubman and found that Honda had never wired pin 9 required for the ATC. Nor had they wired pin 10 for the charger and fridge to work but we had never noticed that with our previous caravan. Honda quoted over

We tow with a Honda CR-V 2.2 ctd-i new shape. Bought new in 2007 and started towing in 2008 so have no comparison against other vehicles. The Honda has been totally reliable, my previoius vehicle was a Passat estate that had several problems including a new clutch at 20k miles. The Honda has...

I have requested brochures for the XC60 ans XC90, which are still to arrive, but it would appear that the smaller and lighter XC60 is available with the 205PS engine yet the XC90 is avalable only with the 185PS engine. Am I correct or are Volvo about to change the engine in the XC90? Thanks

We started caravanning in 2007 with a used 2 berth Europa but found,although there are only 2 of us and 2 dogs, we needed a bigger van but still wanted a good sized bathroom. After many hours of deliberation and restricting the weight to a max MTPLM of 1500kg(due to towing vehicle) we decided...

John - I asked the same question some time ago and even emailed Cadac. They replied "to only use the length recommended in their instructions", if I remeber correctly 1.5 metres. I have a 4 metre hose for my cadac so that I can get it far enough away from the awning when it attached to the...

Nigel - Thanks for the information I will look forward to the report when published. We have a new Lunar Clubman SE on order so with a MTPLM of 1490kg if I were to change to the auto versiion of the CR-V I would be very close to the limit. Honda have already advised against exceeding the 1500kg...

Having started cravanning 2 years ago with a manual CR-V I was delighted to see Honda have launched an automatic 2.2 Diesel CR-V. particularly as so many recommend towing with automatics. Sadly Honda have restricted their new autos to a max of 1500kg for towing compared with the manual at...

Having booked to take the caravan to the Isle of Wight this year any opinions which ferry crossing to use and are any better when travelling with 2 dogs?

My CR-V is nearly ready for 4 new tyres (just clocked 26,000 miles) mine are 225/65 R17 and Kwikfit quoted

According to one forum the Swift Challenger570/Sterling Ruby (same model)was Swift Groups best seller at the show. We considered this model but at 1595kgs it is too heavy. What vehicle are new prospective owners using to tow their 570's?

Did any one who went to the NEC find out the price of the new Alko motor mover. I have found information on the German web site but no prices or info on the UK web site?
