    Yet another uneducated caravanner

    Many years ago whilst overnighting at Billing Aquadrome I saw an outfit pitch behind ours. There were eight occupants in a four berth van. After a few minutes I noticed that the corner steadies were so far down that the wheels were about three feet off the ground! I thought that I'd better offer...

    Illogical location of water heater

    My Hobby has a Truma Therme heater under the dinette seat at the front of the van but tomorrow it is going in to have a Truma Ultra store fitted under the seat next to the wardrobe. This will put it about three feet from the kitchen taps and about four feet from the washroom taps, so should...

    external socket

    Is it like the chromed socket at the top right of my picture? If so it is the 12volt power socket to power a Whale water pump, probably added by a previous owner to make it easier to fill the toilet flush tank. Gordon

    A suitable awning for an Avondale Caravan.

    Hello from Yorkshire

    It was a brilliant move on our part. It meant that it had to be fairly serious to call me back at weekends., and we didn't have to keep visiting UK on holidays. Gordon

    Hello from Yorkshire

    Hello all, My Wife and I have been Caravanners for 40 years since joining the Services Caravan Club in Germany. We Started with a Burstner 'Van then 'progressed' to an English make (Lunar) but have recently gone back to a German van (Hobby 540UK) because of the build quality. Now my wife and I...
