Nothing worse than a faulty fridge especially when the fault is not obvious. Our Thetford N3000 has a touchscreen panel that is working as normal and not showing a fault. The fridge however is not getting cold at all. I have tried to switch to gas , but this model does not have the little widow...

My Coachman developed a problem whilst parked on the drive. The clear (plastic I think) window on the one piece door appeared with a distinctive hairline crack straight across the middle. Certainly not as a result of any kind of impact and I can’t be sure precisely when it happened or the cause...

Must admit, rather like Dan Trudgian I’m not a fan of the truma water system particularly the fragile connection and overly stiff pipe. Learning there was a compatible whale pump assembly was too much of a temptation to turn down and hey presto- perfect fit and works perfectly......almost. The...

Thanks everyone for your comments. To lessen my chances of having a problem, I stayed with the same brand (Pioneer) and replaced my AM/FM cd radio for a DAB Bluetooth model which had an identical casing and connectors. As per an earlier post, I purchased also from Amazon a DAB splitter Ariel...

I wasn’t too fussed about not having DAB Radio in my Caravan- at least that is until Chris Evans moved to Virgin! But seriously my Coachman has a digital tv/ radio antenna on the roof,is it compatible with DAB radio also? I know you can purchase an adapter to connect to the rear of the radio...

Hi Bluerocket. We seldom use public transport when on our travels as I prefer the relative freedom of driving, so I’m not sure about your Dublin question. We will however check this out when we are there next week and let you know. Many thanks Jim

Hi Bluerocket We visited this site last year (Easter) just the two of us and Ruby the dog. We booked through the caravan club a were on the “adult” part of the site which were good sized fully serviced pitches. There was a nice pub adjacent to the site and the Guinness flowed smoothly, Just a...

An update on this: On arriving home I removed the whole blind assembly and brought inside to a large work table to have a more detailed examination of the problem. There are two cords on either side which cross over in the middle of the blind and then fixed in place with a small metal crimp at...

Hi Mel, thanks for the message. We are heading home this weekend and I shall tackle the job then. Will keep you posted. Thanks Jim

HibHutch many thanks for this. The problem I have however is the cord itself has broken and I’m guessing will need replacing. It sounds like a tricky job, but I’m sure someone somewhere must have had this issue previously and worked through a solution. There are a couple of American you tube...

greetings from sunny France, however a cloud has appeared on my horizon in the shape of a broken string on the pleated front window blind of my Coachman. The van now out of warranty, and I’m tempted to do a diy repair.anyone suffered a similar problem, and how easy are they to re-string? Thanks...

Thanks to all for your comments and views. For a long time I had set my heart on the Discovery Sport, but the experience when test driving left me a bit flat. Nothing that specific but I could not get comfortable. Then when talking price, the pounds soon mounted when I asked for “extras” like...

Anybody out there tow with either of the above? I would be interested to know your views good and bad Thanks Jim

Well Gino D’Acampo has a lot to answer to with his recent Coastal Escape particularly around the Amalfi Coastline! Has anyone toured this part of Italy? It has as yet remained undiscovered to us despite touring extensively throughout Italy over the years. Picking the right site we know can be...

I've use dry wash after seeing it at a show. Brilliant stuff
