Hi Rick, Thanks for your suggestion. I eventually got hold of some T-cut last night, plus some Autoglym Paint Restorer - both seemed to make headway in to the stains, but it was getting late and the light was fading, so it was hard to tell how close to white it was getting. I'm going up there...

Hi S, Thanks for taking the trouble to reply. I'll try it now and let you know... Cheers, Gsry

Oh my...I'm in deep doo-doo now with the mrs... I got some tar spots last weekend and have started to remove them with white spirit. This has broken down the tar spots fine...the only problem is that the resultant beige liquid formed from the white spirit and tar has run down and stained the...

hi Rick, I looked under but they just go straight up in to the floor and are sealed, so you can't tell fromt the outside. I'll see if I can see where they go to on the inside, by looking in the cupboards around the kitchen area. Thanks for taking time to reply. Gary and Amanda

Many thanks for the reply Gareth. At least someone is listening out there! Your point about the awning side is a good one! I'll connect up to the other side's grey pipes and reconnect the red bung. Thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated by us. We'll get there eventually... Cheers...

Hi Angel, Glad you survived! We too have just come back from our first weekend away. We got most things working on the Friday, water fill-up happened on the Saturday (forgot to open up the taps) and only struggled with the waste outlet (query posted in technical). We loved it! We were in...

Hi Everyone, We had our first trip out this weekend and it was great. Most things worked but I had some questions (stupid probably) about the waste. One the door/kitchen side of the van, there are 2 pipes that come out underneath. They each had a red stopper in them. Nothing drained at first...

Hi Helen, Hope you get this all sorted, are you away this weekend? We're in the same boat, finding it all a bit confusing. We're away tomorrow for first time. Went to the van last night and no 12v stuff seems to work. I've changed the fuses but couldn't get the water pump or lights to work...

Hey folks, Many, many thanks for the advice. I'll get off now and start buying! Top tips, thanks again. Gary H

That's a great list Roger, many thanks. What type of cabler did you mean?

Hi everyone, Recently we attempted our first trip away but had to cancel it as the lights fused on the van. I got the problem sorted later, but it got me wondering what people take with them in case of emergencies. I'm going to rewire my van's 12n and 12s sockets and will now stock up on...

Thanks for the advice Eddie. I went up last night and took the plugs apart on the caravan. They looked a bit rusty on the grub screws that secure the wires but the wires were all secure. I checked the lamp clusters, they were fine and all the bulbs were good too. After all that, I hooked it...

Hi, My in-line fuse for the car's towing electrics is blowing when I brake. I've tested it out on a trailer and don't have any problems, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the caravan. I'm off to check out the 12N socket tonight to see if anything is lose. Does anyone have any other ideas...

Thanks for replying Ian. I didn't get chance to test your theory out unfortunately. I hitched it up to the car on Friday to take it out on iur first voyage and when I touch the brakes it is shorting out the in-line fuse in the car. We ended up abandoning the trip sadly :-( as our two little...

Hi Kal, I got a tv last night for out first van trip this weekend. I got one that had a freeview tuner built in, so we could pick up the extra channels. When setting it up last night I noticed that there are 2 tuning channels, one for normal terrestrial tv 'TV' and one for freeview digital...
