    Lunar Premier 515 1993 and Fiamma Caravanstore Can

    Thanks guys. To clarify, the dealer is a local one and gave me as much advice as he could without specifically stating that it would fit my van and to be honest I don't blame him. Without knowing the exact profile of my awning rail there is no way either of us could be sure. He did suggest...

    Lunar Premier 515 1993 and Fiamma Caravanstore Can

    Hi, I am looking to purchase a Fiamma Caravanstore canopy for my Lunar and was wondering if anyone has used on on their Premier 515? I am concerned about the shape of the awning rail in that it doesn't sit straight and has a 3-4" rise across the longest part meaning I can go with a 3.1M canopy...

    Nissan Terrano problem

    Should the above handle not be the correct one then have a plate made to raise the spare wheel enough to clear the handle rather than space the hitch out.

    Home CCTV system

    HDD's are dirt cheap. 3TB external USB drives can be had for sub £70. I am looking at a 4 camera CCTV system with wireless capabilities at the moment.

    Perils of Sat Nav

    No towing issues with the Sat Nav as yet but it's generally a bit idiotic. Recently it has taken to telling me to leave the motorway, cross the roundabout and rejoin the motorway. Needless to say I've not followed that particular instruction [yet].

    caravan storage in the west midlands/staffordshire

    We used to store ours in a site with a single combination padlock on a wooden gate. The place was under trees and very little hard standing. The van was constantly filthy but he was cheap(er). For a little extra we moved to Ridgeway Storage. All hard standing, secure compounds (they have a...

    Awning advice please

    Consider if you need a full awning or will a decent porch [air or otherwise] give you the room you need? I find the small porch we have is easy to erect and gives enough overflow space to enhance the caravan.

    water pump not pumping

    Hi, If the new pump doesn't run connected directly to a power source then I suspect that too is faulty. I would return it to the shop and have them demonstrate the replacement working. I would also check if you have the correct voltage at the pump terminals, is the water dependent on a switch...

    New to the forum

    Hi all, New to the forum and relative newbie within the caravaning world. Having always been on caravan holidays as a child I love caravans and the freedom they offer. When my parents went to p/x their newly acquired [long story] 1992 Bailey Discovery 400 for a newer van I jumped at the chance...

    Spongy Floor

    I was quoted £270 to fully re-glue a floor in a 5 berth size van by the chaps next to Ridgeway Storage in Malvern. Ask around the local repairers and see what the costs are.

    solar panel charging

    Where is the solar panel located? Personally I would add a connection within the caravan and pop the panel in the window to charge all the time.
