thankyou so much for your help, i would have been stuck without it.

We have a magnetic strip that keeps the shower door closed but it seems to have lost its magnetism, apparently this can happen if it gets a shock, if it bangs together for instance. There is no mention in the handbook about this possibly happening otherwise we would have taken precautions to...

I apologise now if this has been asked before but we need to know quite soon as we have another holiday looming. Could anyone please tell me if we have to take our caravan back to the dealer where we bought our new caravan from to have some warranty work done on it or can we take it somewhere...

Hi all, can anyone help please, We have just had our second trip in our beautiful brand new sterling europa 550, we were really enjoying it until 2 nights ago the toilet flushed no more! (it's electric not lever). We have checked the fuse in the outside compartment, it's ok, anyone got any...

just ordered a new sterling europa, which also didn't have an extractor,asked dealer if we could have one fitted instead of the heki, wasn't a problem, slight extra charge but well worth it if you make use of it, we go to france every year and we used it in our last van to remove the warm air in...

We ordered a new van last week, not at the show, put a deposit down at same time, took our trade-in van to the dealer last saturday, and had our deposit refunded, our new van is due january. So there should be 2nd hand vans coming onto the forecourts very soon.

Thankyou everyone for your replies they are very helpful, at least we now know what to expect.

We are making the above Ferry journey this July, we have booked a cabin. Has anyone made this journey before and if so do you take your own pillows and blankets to use in the cabin, Any tips would be very much appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi Alan, You mention that you had a problem with your last car, I am assuming that it was an x-trail, just wondering what the problem was, as we have a '06 aventura at the moment, this is our 2nd x-trail, our 1st one was a '03 SVE, briliant towcar, fast with caravan and without, only changed...

Many thanks for all your replys so far, it did actually cross our minds what Lol said about the dealer drumimg up business,we also see what you are saying TommyG, about getting it done anyway, but there is the inconvenience of having to take it back and fourth again, we are considering getting a...

We have just collected our caravan after having its 2nd service,only to be told that they have found a '50%'damp reading on one of the side walls, we were devastated as the van is only 2 years old, there are no visible signs inside or out, or is there any damp smell which we would of perhaps...

Thanks so much everyone for your help, it was great to get so many replies, we are definately going via the 'A' roads,I like your suggestion steve about using the route through Leominster, especially the bit about the chip shop - my little boy will love that! we hadn't considered that way at...

Thanks for your replies everyone, very useful, we are going this Saturday, early hours hopefully, we will try the 'A' road route I think, we've worked it out that its about 80 miles shorter than the motorway, someone who works with the hubby has towed this way and said that theres probably about...

Has anyone travelled from cheshire to pembrokeshire via the 'A' roads instead of the motorway,if so is it suitable for towing a caravan

Hi Steve We have an X-trail 2.2 diesel, also the avondale 556/6, they are perfect partners, can't fault either of them, hope you enjoy your new van which ever towcar you choose, but can highly recommend the x-trail. Lorraine
