Unless I am missing something here, what I don't understand is, if you ask for something surely you should expect to pay for it. Therefore if you order extra Jam, why wouldn't you expect to pay for it? Seems fair to me.

Hi, Good question, about 4 years ago we stayed at a large commercial site near Clacton in Essex and there was a spate of items being stolen. We packed up and left. But to be honest, before that trip and ever since we have never had an issue and never lock the water, waste etc. up. We lock...

Andrea, Good idea to carry some water. Can you clarify - did you purchase drinking water in bottles eg 5 x 1 ltr bottles or similar or did the garage charge you £8.00 for tap water? Dave

Hi, Inside is the threaded part. Yes it unscrews. The Ball bearing is not connected to it. You will need to carefully cut the thread with an axe saw blade and remove. You can buy the new part in most good camping stores.

Yep - go with 13pin plug and get the plug in adaptor as indicated by Sproket. While your ordering I would get a spare to keep in the car in case you have to tow some other unplanned trailer at some point as I tend to leave mine plugged into the trailer 7 pin and keep on in the car. If your not...

Same happened to me - well the light in the switch broke. Got replacement and had to work out the wiring. You need a volt meter and the car plugged in and engine running to work out what wires do what. One is a earth for the bulb return, the other is the Live from the car and the last one will...

I have only been put on and off a pitch by the site warden using his tractor a couple of times and this has been because of wet pitchss due to excessive rain. In both case's they had a dry ball for Alko type hitches and a wet ball for greased units. I would not allow my van to be hitched to a...

Again the answer is Yes, best bet is to take you old tyre along so they can match it. I recently changed mine and only problem is that they never had stock - had to order them in for the next day. I used National Tyres in the end. Expect to pay around

Perhaps it was as simple as the current owners not wanting to pay the CRIS transfer fee and therefore left it in the other owners names? Now it is causing an issue for you. Some years age I brought our current van from my brother. I was not to keen to pay CRIS the

Tony, If you go to the Tom Tom web site and download Tom Tom home it will basically talk you through and manage the up grade including asking you if you want to make back ups. I would take this option for peace of mind. This is a good little application as it will also make corrections to the...

Hi, In six years never used the correct "Caravan loo paper" and never had a problem. We avoid the 3 ply stuff but use normal good quality 2 ply paper. I always rinse the cassette and check its clear before re-dosing with chemical and water and reusing.

Hi, I used Elsan Organic as I liked the idea of just having one bottle. It worked fine most of the year but we found in the warmer weather it was not so good and the smell was not hidden. I started adding more of the stuff and then decided it was costing too much so have gone back to the Pink &...

Hi, Re the toilet capacity concerns - you can purchase additional cassette tanks which you could store in the boot of the car (full and empty). Depending on how many are using the toilet on average ours lasts us 3 days with 2 adults, 1 child. As for empting, I don't see why you can't put it...

Hello, I had the same problem with the shower tray in our Abbey Vogue and I know this is a common problem as a friend with a swift also had this issue. I removed the shower tray and using a fibre glass repair kit fixed the problem (and while it was out reinforced the whole tray with fibre...

Hi, JTQ has a good point. These radios do generally require a permanent live supply to power the clock and memory etc. I have (after many trips) just worked out that my self fit was wired to a permanent Live (as it would be in a car) and it was slowly draining my battery. I have now fitted a...
