    Reich drive roller udate.

    I had both mine changed in August 08 when one had lost the grit covering by my dealer on an annual service at £29.99 each plus vat. It looks as though £75 is for the pair

    internet browsing from caravan

    For BT Total Broadband users The supplier of WiFi access at Camping Club seems to use BT OpenZone as its connection so you can use your free minutes allocation to BT OpenZone instead of paying the site rate. I have used this at Scone and Dingwall recently. Since I have returned home by using...

    Status 530 Aerial fault

    For my recent trip to Scotland I purchased a meter from Maplins to get the best aerial direction. When I first used the meter there was no change when plugged into the aerial. I was about to take it back to Maplins when I tested it on the house aerial and then on the aerial I had for many years...

    Free Wi Fi Access and the Caravan Club

    I am at Scone Camping Club site at the moment. I could pick up the Site WiFi if wanted but have picked up a BT Openzone access possibly from the adjacent Perth Race Course so I am using some of my free 400 minute mothly allocation from BT Internet. I have also purchased a BT Dongle which appears...

    Pitch Drains?

    I would discard the two into one connector. In some cases you can get backup into the shower tray. Since this happened to me I now use two individual pipes to wastemaster. Check the run of the piping under the van, the shower tray outlet in my van is seperate from the two sinks Try it out with...

    Raskelf Duvalays

    I use then in a Pageant Champagne and they fit OK in the front bed lockers. The idea is not to roll them too tight leave unbound and let them spread out, even with the 10.5 tog duvet they fit. I had to move the cross strut a few inches on the near side to get the 26 inch width

    New Zealand motorhoming

    We used a Kea 4 berth campervan to tour South Island in 2006 for three weeks. The larger van giving more space for two. Last year I was taken round the North Island by my brother who lives in Auckland. This time we we used Cabins and motor lodges which I think I prefered. There are different...

    Cable cutting

    I had my lead chewed by squirels several years ago at CC New Forest site. They were also partial to the grease on the jockey wheel. It got dangerous when they nipped the gas hose and a smell of gas alerted me to this. In those days the front lockers were more open at the bottom tha they are...

    Grey Water

    As regards emptying hot water tanks I stayed at a CL in Dover for 10 days, a site which is mainly used as a stopover for the ferries. The lawned grass is covered with brown spots were the grass has been killed with hot water. The site owner is so concerned she is considering putting a notice on...

    Check the coverage before you pay. I found at Chatsworth and Chester unless you are very near the site transmitter receception is nil. You dont want to to go to information booth every time you want to use the laptop

    Waste Hose Connector

    Be careful about connecting the shower tray outlet to a t junction as i did once and found the kitchen waste backing up into the tray. Always keep the shower tray outlet seperate.
