Just read through this thread, as someone said my guess is something wasn't quite right with the original suspension set-up. My last outfit was the same as yours; 2016 XC60 D4 R-Design 2WD, 20" alloys and factory fitted towbar, towing a Coachman VIP 575! 2008 model though. In 4 years I never...

Agreed, too bulky and heavy to carry around. Need to rely on reversing skills, combined with the mover on site!

Yep, I second that! I've just purchased a pair of hydraulic wheel skates for £135, a great investment. Can easily spin our van round now on a Presscrete surface and then manoeuvre it into its spot on the driveway. Really quick and easy to use, a little bit bulky to store, but overall well worth...

I thought I'd follow this thread up with the results of the upgrade, in case it helps anyone out in the future with a similar issue. Whale Technical Support were very helpful, first phoning me, then emailing their recommended part numbers and a circuit diagram. Whilst obviously they couldn't...

Thanks Hayley, will do!

We've just returned from 10 days down at Start Bay near Dartmouth. Plenty of people around although understandably it didn't seem as busy as a 'normal' August. Pubs and shops all had good covid procedures in place and in general people were sensible and respecting the social distancing rules...

My Coachman VIP 2008/9 has a Truma Ultraflow Surge Damper with Pressure Switch that I suspect is faulty. After using the taps the pump continues to run. I've adjusted it as per the manufacturers instructions, but even with the screw fully set to 'minus' the external pump still runs. I've checked...

Tom, keep us posted on how you get on, I also have a Td4 and whilst it tows really well a little extra mid range grunt would be useful, I've looked at a couple of different options but cant decide the best way to go. One other aspect I would be interested in is how it effects your insurance...

I don't want to start a speed camera argument on here, there's already been plenty of discussions on the rights and wrongs of cameras. So it's a simple question, do the Gatsos detect a car and caravan outfit? Bearing in mind you should be doing no more than 50mph on a single carriageway where...

I'm not sure if this is relevant to you all? but there is a material you can get that will neatly render a clear window 'opaque' if you are concerned about bathroom privacy. It's a type of vinyl used in professional signwriting, its self adhesive and with a bit of care easily applied...

I know what you mean, I have a 7 yr old who loves to roam around campsites exploring, although at home shes not even allowed into the front garden on her own. I often worry I'm being lulled into a false sense of security in the holiday environment, we give her all the usual safety advise, but...

I've just brought the Ventura Atlantic. Not used it on the van yet but the quality certainly looks good, Isabella quality at half the price? even some of the included accessories came in Isabella packaging confirming the fact its from the same manufacturer. Ring round for the best price I got...
