Just a thought - well a fear really - that I've not seen anybody mention. I've just put my motorhome into storage for the winter, and there's one major worry I have in the back of mind. What happens if wild vermin - mice, worse still rats - decide to set up their home in our motorhome ...

As I understand it. Sky (who basically have a monopoly on Astra) have moved the goal posts and in order to receive any UK channels, you'll need quite a big dish. I had a motorhome with an Oyster system which worked fine to start with. However, after a while, as soon as I got out of...

My 2014 Ducato engine management light has come on during it's first run after no use since Nov last year. There's no loss of power or performance. My local garage (who service various vehicles in including motorhomes and commercials) seem to think it's a diesel particulate filter problem...

Just a suggestion. Have you had a word with your local tow-bar centre ? Legally, when a tow-bar is fitted, they have to install a buzzer which works when the indicators are used whilst towing. They obviously know wiring inside out so I'm sure they can supply/fit a buzzer but not the complete...

I've no comments to make on this thread. I just want to thank you sir, for livening up an otherwise dull Sunday evenings TV. I've got tears running down my face with a mental picture of a middle aged, wrapped around a calor bottle, flying across a holiday camp at a hundred miles an hour. Add...

Hi Chirene, I'm really confused now ! I was under the impression that Tom Tom updates were chargeable. At least, when I had a Tom Tom, I used to pay (I think it was £52) a year. Also, any updates had to done onto an SD card as the unit didn't have enough internal memory. It could have all...

Hi, My personal (and I stress personal) is to give a thumbs up for the Garmin 760LTD. I stupidly used an ordinary car type Tom Tom Go in my last motorhome and that was a disaster. Fortunately, no one got hurt and no damage was done but it was a fiasco getting a motorhome under low bridges...

Hi Geoff, Just stumbled on your post re satellite TV in Spain. Do you have any more info on it ?

The edge of my table was damaged where a previous owner had swung the captains seat around and caught it. I tried to fix it with fibre glass gel coat (it was/is white) which did a pretty good job, but eventually came off. When I priced up a new table top I was amazed, well, shocked to be...

Have you tried the car customising boys ? I was in the US a few years ago and happened on an 'auto extravaganza' I remember there were quite a few companies that 'wrapped' not only full vehicles, but also interior panels in vinyl that looked silver, chrome, coloured, veneered in fact, almost...

Stupid as it may sound.....have you considered a tow bar and a small trailer ?

We had a Tom Tom sat nav which worked fine.......in the car here in the UK. Where it didn't work fine was in Bavaria, in an almighty thunderstorm, in the dark, whilst towing a trailer with a Smart Car on board..... Oh, did I mention with an irate wife in the passenger seat too ? Hence, the...

We normally tour around on a five or six week annual trip, in Europe, sometime in spring/early summer. This year, after lots of discussions (some hotter than others ! ) we've settled on six weeks in Spanish coast during January and February 2017. The reason being that, in theory, the weather...

I'm now of the opinion that it may be worth me carrying a standard bottle (a 6kg light) in addition to having a Gaslow system installed next year. How does that sound to you ? Another couple of points to throw into the discussion; 1/ Doing my research, I notice Gaslow and Gasit systems. The...

Thanks Joe, This info is really appreciated. So, I'll go down this route for the first trip. I'm thinking of having a refillable system installed sometime next year. That'll be another headache no doubt !
