I have an Abbey 216 fitted with a quartz clock made by Hermle, it is oval in shape and the only battery that I can find that fits is A23 which is 12 volts. Is that correct - don't want to fit and burn-out the clock! -- John

Morning all - I thought I should update you regarding the installation of a Status aerial 530/5 in my 1998 Abbey Vogue GTS 216. The original Status aerial was fitted above an overhead locker which, provided the internal shelf is removed, had enough depth to accomodate the mast of the new aerial...

Hi Dustydog - my reason for contacting the Caravan Club was that I feel that they should do more to draw members' attention to an obviously wide spread problem that poses a potential road accident risk. I did not expect recompense from them! - John

This subject has again cropped up, this time on the General Forum - you may find the discussion interesting! - John
