The pad has come out without the stalk attacched - so a new set of pads required. Thanks for the info about the website. I assume that the replacement pads are stored by most caravan spares outlets? Cheers

Having recently unhitched the van after a 100 mile trip, one of the side friction pads from inside the towing hitch 'dropped out' of the hitch. I popped it back in place but I feel that this is not an effective 'fix'. Any ideas what could have happened and any tips on how the change the pads...

John L - thanks for your info. I have checked the tow ball height to the centre of the ball and it is currently 460mm unladen. I would imagine that when the van is attached that this would drop by 20mm. So it seems that raising the tow ball to the higher set of holes is a non-starter or be...

I have a twin axle Lunar Lexon EW which I tow with a Shogun Sport. I noticed the other day that when hitched and fully loaded that the caravan was 'nose down' from horizontal by just over an inch when checking height of the lower trim rail to the ground (flat tarmac). The back end was an inch...

To date we have always used Sites/CL's with electric hook-ups. Can anyone give me any advice, tips, etc about selecting, buying and using a generator with the view to using CL's without electric. What are the benfits and constraints, which is the best buy, etc. Thanks Geoff

We have a Lunar Lexon EW twin axle and had a Powrtouch 2 wheel mover fitted. Worked OK but kept breaking down. In the end Powrtouch upgraded us to a 4 wheel system free of charge. This worked very well but still kept breaking down at the most awkward times. We had 7 breakdowns in 18 months. In...

Guys You are talking to an electronic thicko. What are FTA's & LNB's? I assume that I need a satellite dish and a SKY (or satelite compatible) box, connect one to the other and then to the TV, switch on and point the dish towards the satelite. Can it be that simple?? I cant use the jockey...

After reading the latest CC Mag extolling the virtues and quality of the new Lunar Clubman ES, I went to take a look at new one at the weekend, with a view to moving down from a Lexon EW and what a dissapointment! Our very first van was a 1994 Clubman 475CK and that had quality so I had high...

Hi We are considering replacing the normal terestrial external A frame mounted aerial (usually used because the reception via the Status is so poor) with a satelite dish. What equipment do I need and how is it installed/connected? How easy is it to install the dish on the side of the van? I...

Hi We have a Lunar Lexon EW (2006) with the full width washroom at the back. The main problem is the wash basin. There is not enough room to bend down to wash the soap off your face and you have to stand at an angle to do so. Also the fitted shelf directly above the wash basin had to be removed...

Hi Ray I think that the Rhyno works on the same principle. The problem was that there was not enough grip between the roller and the surface of the tyre when trying to turn ie:- when one roller was doing the majority of the work it kept slipping on the surface of the tyre. Perfectly OK in a...

Rhyno update. Used the mover 4 times now all 'on location' and all instances where I needed to turn the van 90 degrees into and out of a pitch. First reactions are that it is fine in a straight line but when I tried to turn the van through 90 degrees the unit which has to do the most work (on...

If you go onto the Whattowcar.com website you can put in the details of your van and it will give you a list of all cars that can pull it and it assumes that the 85% 'rule' is obeyed. It also gives a star rating as to how well it performs. Geoff

Having read of all your difficulties booking CC sites I'm glad that I only ever use CL's. Hardly had a problem in 8 years - just book a little bit early for Bank Holidays!

The Rhyno was fitted yesterday. Took the fitter 3 hours but he did a very good job. He tested the unit fully and got the van off the drive and back into place as we would do when going away. He gave us many useful tips and was generally very helpful. He suggested that the previous installation...
