I use wifi hotspot all the time. Got a 40gb data allowance on my phone. I connect my smart TV to it for Netflix etc and before this I had a fire stick in my telly. As long as there is a decent 4g signal the job's a good un. If you don't have much data on your phone its worth setting up a limit...

These are the most over rated, over expensive and overweight caravan accessories ever. Had one for a couple of years and sold it. Its not a bbq, its a gas powered frying pan. Takes too long to build, is too difficult to clean, blows out in the wind and cant be used safely in an awning. Got an...

The limpets are utter rubbish. Bought a wheel arch cover that came with 3 and 2 of them were broken before I'd opened the packaging. Got them replaced then another broke on the 2nd use. I'm mechanically minded and I certainly wasn't over tightening them. If they were better made they would be...

The Jag has a strong ZF torque converter auto. Just leave it in auto unless you want engine braking or to be in the correct gear in advance of corners or hills in which case use the paddles. I have an XF and it's a fab car solo or towing my 1700kg van.

Read the reviews on amazon. It put me off getting one.

Sounds like you have the Truma Ultrastore system. The of on switch is for the water to be headed by mains electric. The temp is controlled automatically. It should never get hot enough to bubble. But it will be too hot to put your hand under it. The rotary controller heats the water using gas...

Sounds like your brakes are worn or faulty. I had the same and it was the friction material had detached from one of the brake shoes. Put the handbrake on and try and rotate the van by pulling on the hitch. If it turns easily the brakes are not working. This method also shows if one brake is...

It doesn't sound like the charger is working properly either. Should be more like 13.5v when connected to the EHU

I've the same van and fitted a replacement charger myself a few years ago. Does the new charger work? Check the volt meter with and without the EHU coupled up. Should see a +1.5v ish increase in battery volts on when on EHU. The charger is mounted on the consumer unit in these vans. Sounds...

In caravan insurance terms does anyone know the definitions of “Equipment” and “Contents”? These are 2 separate sums insured in addition to the value of the van. My initial thoughts were that contents are what we bring to the van for a holiday (clothes, food, phones, money etc), and everything...

Yep as above. I had the same and when I checked it was the brake shoes - on one side the lining had come away from the shoe.

Try switching off your mobile phones. I had issues with my mobile causing tv interference.

If it worked fine before and has only just started happening the most likely cause is a loose wire in the car socket touching another wire. Open up the socket and check.

I never got on with my cadac and sold it eventually. It was a pain to assemble, a real pain to clean after use and very heavy. I've bought a George Forman electric one now though. Looks just like a cadac. Can be used on its own legs or a table top and is so much easier to clean and light...

The cracks are caused by the screws because Bailey didnt use big enough pilot holes during construction. Senator 6 and Pageant 7 didnt suffer as much, because by 2008 they'd learnt their lesson.
