    Towing European spec Caravan

    Andrew, I have a Burstner caravan with the euro plug fitted. I have an adaptor cable, i.e. the euro plug fits into one end, and the other end has standard brit grey and black plugs. It works great. You can buy them at good caravan dealers. Cheers Jimbo

    bad tasting water

    My experience is that it does not matter what you do, it will always taste minging. We only use bottled water now for drinking and food preparation. Just like being abroad really, except minus the sunburn. Jimbo

    motor movers

    I have a Reich fitted. One of its features is the soft start. This means that it does not jerk forward or backward when you activate it. This is mint for hitching up as you can drop the van right on the ball with nil effort and without hitting your motor. Highly reccommended. Jimbo

    Rover 75 2.0 Diesel 2002

    I have just bought this car and I love it. Looking forward to pulling my Burstner 455 Ts. It has strange howling noise at about 2000 revs, and dealers can't trace the source of the noise. Any one had this and know what it is. Any help will be apreciated. Jimbo
