I have recently had my 4 wheel drive Reich motor mover transferred onto my new twin axle caravan by my dealer. It worked very well for the first week, however I am now in Spain and it is now only working intermittently when I press the controls on the handset. I have replaced the batteries in...

Hi Sedo, Thanks for your reply. I have been in contact with both the dealer and Bailey to complain about the premature discolouration and marking of the kitchen worktop where the plastic draining board makes contact with the worktop. My van is on a permanent pitch in southern Spain and Bailey...

Have any of you had any problems with the durability of the brown worktops used in the original Pegsus?

I have a new twin axle van sited on a permanent pitch and want to know the best way to prevent damage to the tyres. Would you suggest using winter wheels or jack up the van and use axle stands? I have read that Alko do not recommend using winter wheels as it can damage the suspension, although I...

Hi Mark, Yes I will be around that weight, maybe a shade lighter but in that ball park. Bearing in mind that my FL2 is an automatic, I was averaging around 22-25 but in strong headwinds drops to around 19-20. Regarding the difference between towing a single axle to a twin; I find the twin more...

Hi Mark, We also traded our single axle for a twin earlier this year and tow with a FL2. I have a Pegasus 624 with a 4 wheel drive mover fitted and a roof mounted Dometic AC unit. I have just just returned from a tour down to the South of France / Italy and towed 3500 miles with absolutely no...

Many thanks for all of your replies which is much appreciated.

Sorry if this has been requested before but what is the best method of fixing the long vehicle marker boards to the rear of the caravan stipulated by Spanish regulations for outfits longer than 12 metres? I don't want a permanent fix and was considering using double sided tape but do not know if...

We stayed at La Nautique at Narbonne which is not to far from Carcassone. Ideal for the children and the pitches are big enough for a twin axle with private bathrooms on every pitch.

Martin, Thanks very much for the info which is much appreciated.

Hi Martin, I am looking at buying the same van very soon. You got a good deal, the best price I have been offered so far is around the 17K mark. If you don't mind telling me - which dealer did you purchase it from?

Hi Della, We stayed there three years ago and found it very cramped with very little space between vans and a distinct lack of privacy. With a twin axle you would really struggle for space and I think you would be much better off staying at El Delfin Verde where you have much bigger pitches and...

Hi Michael, Don't be to concerned, there used to be a big problem on this section of road for quite some time, but the guardia eventually found the main culprits. The number of reported incidents seems to have deceased now. The advice which has already been provided is sound advice. If possible...

Ive done 30,000 miles in mine now and general driving around town I get a constant 30mpg which I don't think is to bad. On a long run driving solo at speeds 70-85 around 32mpg. Towing 1500kg with a fully laden car + roof box in France / Spain at 60-70mph anything between 19 - 23mpg depending on...

If you have a SatNav load french camping sites as points of interest and your problem will be solved. I did this a few years ago and it makes life very easy and more important - no stress!!
