I have one in my locker, fitted as standard. wouldn't be without it.

Hello John, Welcome to the forum. If you have questions, this is the place to find the answers. Don't worry about how daft they may seem, we have all probably asked them at some point. There are loads of accessory dealers to choose from. Try Towsure as a starting point. But a simple google...

There will be an isolator tap for each gas appliance, its a legal requirement. In general they will be together in the kitchen area. But on occasion and make and model dependant, may be close to the appliance itself. If your van has taps with the micro switches built into them and non are...

Jim, Mike said that his motormover would not allow the van to climb the ramps. So why should useing wood instead of plastic make any difference. After spending several thousand pounds on a caravan, hundreds of pounds on the awning, hundreds on all the other bits and pieces why bother trying to...

I don't know what size you need but measuring it is easy. Run a length of string through the awning rail, from ground to ground. mark the string at ground level, front and rear. The measurement between the two marks is the awning size you require, ie, my rail measures 9.93 meters (993cm) ground...

I cannot understand why anyone would want to carry several lumps of wood around with them, when the yellow plastic ramps are so cheap and work a treat. The set I have are suplied with chocks which lock into the ramps behind the wheel, removing any worry that the van may role back. They cost...

I'm no expert on engines, but let me pass on what my old man told me many years ago. He told me not to worry to much about running in an engine. Use it throughout the rev range but stay away from the red line and make full use of the gearbox. Never labour the engine. Make regular oil and...

To avoid being sent down minor roads and tracks, you should never set your Satnav to take you the shortest route. This is common to all. I have never been taken anywhere I couldn't go but I still double check the route on a paper map before I set off (just in case (you can't trust this...

I have the Navman N60i. It's a great piece of gear and has never sent me wrong yet. I like the navpix feature and have used this a lot when out and about. If we come across a site, pub, attraction or anything else that we might like to visit and spend more time at. We use the navmans camera...

I know from experience that in court a good brief will make even the sickest wierdo sound like a victim. I don't believe a word of the illness crap. Lock the git in small cage with stagnant water and no food. Let him lie in his own waste and then tell him it's because we are ill, which is true...

I have never had one of my cars mapped, but I have driven a number that have been. Based on what I have found on those other cars, I fully intend to get the Sorento done as soon as I can afford it. The car is almost out of warranty now so I am not at all worried about that. I have never and...

In the late 70's I appeared in Penthouse magazine. I was fully clothed in my army uniform. Been out on the lash with Jim Davidson. Sat next to The Reverend Ian Paisley on an airoplane. Been on the telly numerous times (news)
