Deffo a NO.....:D Tow car and caravan for me until I pack up.

.........bare in mind a lead acid battery can give off explosive Hydrogen gas when being charged.

Have you tested the motor? .......I found that Whale pumps sometimes appeared to be faulty when it was actually bad contacts or a stuck motor. The contacts can be checked and deposits removed with emery cloth. The plug end can be opened up and electrical connections checked. The motor can be...

Went across to Bridge Villa Wallingford last Sunday to meet up with Kevin, Maggs and Paddy. Saw their motorhome.....I think it will suit them well. :)

......I'm with Hutch and JTQ and some what surprised that many find front fog lights useless. Fo me front fog lights are to assist you to see better in foggy misty conditions. They are designed to give a wider and much flatter beam that adds to the beam pattern of dipped headlights. The full...

....... because the fitment of cameras instead of mirrors opens up the possibility of fitting electrically extendable stalks on which the cameras are fitted. The extension of the stalks could be pre programmed and automatic when you plug in your caravan. Extendable stalks could be standard or...

Audi ....click here.

.....saw a large Audi car parked up today. (no caravan) It didn't have mirrors, it had small cameras in the end of 15cms thin stalks on each side where mirrors would normally be. Presumably the driver gets rear views on a dashboard screen. I have no idea how you would fit towing mirrors or...

......It's a crying shame that the two idiots knew the Sycamore was in Northumberland. Perhaps if they had travelled to Cumbria they would have still been looking for it and the tree would still be standing. ........guess you need to find a pub showing Villa matches now ;)

.....worth noting that if the wiring has not been fitted for battery charging then Alko ATC will not work. (if fitted to the caravan)

I refitted and renewed the seal in one of these panoramic windows as a DIY job.....not a job for the fainthearted! Before even tackling the job, unless you can work undercover, you need a fine weather window of several days. The window is in a very awkward position so you need a stable access...

.....on my Swift Challenger 2012 the gas hot water boiler control switch is on the left of the storage tray at the front of the caravan. It is near the bottom of the front window near a 3 pin mains socket. I've never understood the logic of fitting it there.

I use Grand Aeros with the V blocks on my Santa Fe as well .....very stable. Doubly satisfied as they were a gift from Practical Caravan Magazine some 10 years ago.....that sort of thing happened in the good old days;)

......The A13 motorway in Normandy doesn't have any toll booths. However payment is still required!

Good job very little if any tax is added to the price! The sale of every litre of diesel equals 65p tax to pay for government services. Surely there is a dilemma rushing towards electric car use in the form of future taxation to replace that lost from diminishing fossil fuel sales.
