Hi All. We have an annoyingly noisy inboard water pump on out Bailey Unicorn Madrid, Series 1 (2011). I keep seeing posts saying to adjust the pressure switch. My last caravan had a pressure switch, but where is it on my van. Dammed if I can find anything remotely resembling one. This is our...

Net Zero is total fiction.

Can't comment on refillable bottles, but LPG is sadly losing more outlets. Pity, especially from a driving perspective. I had a 2001 BMW 525i which I converted years ago. Cost me £1800 to convert. I had the car for about 13 yrs and did just over 200k miles in her, towing and normal usage. Kept a...

Its not a MOT fail unless it obscures vison. This is perfectly legal.. They can disconnect it or may ask to have it disconnected. GDPR and Data Protection. I've had several MOT's done and just disconnect it. Anything hanging from the interior mirror and viewable in the swept area of the...

If I reverse onto a pitch, or my driveway for storage, I always go back further than needed, and then forward again a couple of feet. When reversing, the brakes disengage. In modern caravans, they are only meant to work going forward otherwise you wouldn't be able to reverse. older caravans...

Auto all the way. If you get the flappy paddle option, the are even better.

Dealers got greedy after Covid. Definitely and still are. A colleague of mine recently bought a newer caravan. Got what he thought was fair trade in price, then saw his trade in selling for £3000 more on the dealers website a week later. Roughly a 30% mark up. Car dealers work on a 10% to 16%...

540 miles in 11 hrs. A couple or three 10 min stops, but thats it.

Just back from a lovely few days at Tantallon Caravan Park, North Berwick. Event free until the last leg coming down M77. On inside lane, south of the Newton Mearns interchange. Travelling about 50-55 mph. Got passed by a Transit pickup, who pulled in maybe a hit early, but nothing dramatic...

Should have added that bought her July 2023. Going to phone ALDE. See what they say.

So my Alde heating system has a problem. Works fine on Gas. Hot water immerser switch provides plenty. Problems is that when I try to set heating to run on Electric only, it doesn't heat up. Not on 1kW - 3kW. I know electric isn't that great but even after 4-5 hrs its still cold. I can hear the...

Thanks all. Sorted. New switch bought

I agree about doing things properly, and up until today, I have never hard any heart stopping snakes either. However just today I had occasion to brake and swerve heavily to avoid a 12 ft 6" x "2 plank that flew off a passing pickup. Caravan came very close to striking the ARMCO barrier. A bit...

Hi I think I had the same problem as you. The small round white plastic circle piece next to the label in my van had popped partially out. Door would not close properly. Pushing it in seemed to work to close it, but locking was a bit hit or miss. My quick fix was Duck tape to keep the round...

Hi all. Just back from a very pleasant 13 nights at this site. Lovely site and well maintained. Toilet blocks immaculate. Traveling to site this far away, 540 miles in our case is risky, but we were not disappointed. Could have stayed a lot longer. Various food vendors visit site Monday-...
