    Caravan seat covers

    We're just looking into this as we now have Noodle and 6 months old she's keen to leap onto seats when she thinks we're not looking! Back in 2002 we bought our first brand new caravan, a Sterling Eccles Jewel which had a kind of green/gold check-pattern on the upholstery. Within 2 years it...

    Dixon bate shocklink

    Seem to be still available: https://www.cvarena.co.uk/companies/towbars-and-trailers/products/shock-absorbing-towbars I found that through Google as I know I'd seen them still in use on commercial vehicles delivering caravans, usually one on the bed and another being towed. Worth asking on the...

    Unbelievable

    Just to add to this older thread with a tale of despair. Our surgery is now on web-based appointment booking only (as of last month), the reception staff quite bluntly tell anyone who struggles with technology to get a friend or relative to help them, they will not accept ANY appointment...

    eBay question

    True, but I've got to repair it first! They had it serviced last month & found a crack in the front panel above the window.

    eBay question

    Sadly EBay is no longer the "online car boot sale" that it once was, it's becoming more aligned with the likes of Amazon etc. I still use it for buying bits & pieces but I gave up selling on there after the rule changes for private sellers as mentioned above. Facebook Market Place seems to be...

    Things aren't what they used to be.....

    Damp issues

    He first noticed bubbles (corrosion) in the outer aluminium skin next to the awning rail about half way down. I DID warn him that was only the start of it! :ROFLMAO:

    Damp issues

    Photos of an Elddis a friend did not that long ago. It's time consuming but straightforward if you take a methodical/unhurried approach.

    First trip of the year

    I first went to Lincoln Farm Park when it was a CMHC site back in the mid 90's. Been since (around 20 years ago!) and it's a nice site with a decent pub not far away.

    Bailey Pegasus 462 shower

    It doesn't last long! The trick is to switch it on to wet yourself down, then switch it off while you soap-up, then rinse. It helps if you're a slap-head like me as there's less to wash!

    Possibly selling our caravan…due to redundancy.

    It's a truly bleak time, I was made redundant in 2019. The only advice I could give would be to tell as many people as possible in your industry that you're seeking work. Due to my position I was put on immediate garden leave for 3 months but decided to take an additional 4 months off to...
