Hi Tracey, welcome! Many Castel sites can accommodate an 8m+ tag axle, I've seen both larger MH's and RV's on a lot of them. Even the smaller sites such as Le Brevedent (our favourite) will squeeze you in. Sites & paysages are similar, again we've enjoyed many a chat with large van owners...

Hello John and Francois, Northern Spain is awash with coastal campsites and camping areas from the French border to La Coruna with many of them geared toward all watersports. It's quite easy to find beach/coastal sites close to both ferry ports whilst you build confidence before venturing...

The upgrade in weight offered as an option by converters is purely a paper exercise, nothing physical is done to the base vehicle or habitation area. A simple piece of paper gives a van owner a further 150kgs of payload regardless. If I can legally drive upto 3500kgs and tow a 750kg trailer...

Tony50 if your so inclined you could make your own hinged table top from parts sourced from a conversion supplier. We quite liked the idea of the adjustable boom arm table sold as a cost option by Auto Trail, I bought the parts for less than half the price...

You're right Tony. I had an interesting chat with my brother in law who's looking at a motorhome in the next couple of years. He says he wants an over cab bed allowing him to carry more and couldn't quite understand it when I told him he'd just be paying for fresh air as a 3500kg high line...

Sorry guys this turned into a bit of a novel, I'd make a brew first. :blink: Personally I believe younger audiences & owners are beginning to notice the many blogs, forums & rallies out there and just like other contributors of this thread I also mention the site, magazine & forum regularly...

Hi Ritchie and welcome... https://www.vicarious-shop.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAnabTBRA6EiwAemvBdx8etrGVIlGbvlFnKZvx-MZ8UppzmCOHn1QCEaWhRn4BIdkI6Wh5HxoC2acQAvD_BwE The link above is to a site which offers specialised publications of all the aires available throughout Europe many of which can be found...

Hi Tony both Rainbow conversions and Magnum motorhomes supply tabletops and all manner of fixings which you could apply. http://www.rainbow-conversions.co.uk/ http://www.magnummotorhomes.co.uk/en/ Also this site deals with mainly Trigano Group vans. https://www.caravan-parts.org

Thanks Colin, I was unaware. Currently sitting on a snowy Northumberland site which hasn't got above freezing all week... Blower is well and truly on...only using the 2kw Ultraheat though, we've been warm enough without using the 3kw gas. I'm fairly confident that Auto Trail do not fit remote...

Colin, just thought on... Parts #21 & #22 could be the issue. www.leisureshopdirect.com/gas/caravan-gas-fires/truma-fires/truma-ultraheat-electrical-supplementary-heater-spare-parts/temperature-control-device-ultraheat...

Hi Colin, welcome to the forum. The electric mode of any Truma Trumatic whether S3002 or S3004 is secondary and is not suitable for stand alone use in particularly cold temperatures. In this instance it must be powered by gas with the additional and optional electric heater only used to augment...

Hi oscar10, have Autotrail told you this directly after speaking to their service dept or is this a statement relayed via the dealer? Flexing is common and is necessary but to what degree is any layman's guess. When we were looking to replace our PVC we found both the Imala & Tribute had very...

Hello Mark & Steph, We've used Motorhome Facts for insurance for years as originally they were one of the few who would cover a bespoke build by a small converter without adding to the premium like many of the more mainstream companies do, if they insure them at all. They are very...

I think you'll find that all of the motorway service areas owned by the likes of Moto, Roadchef, Welcome Break etc and the Highways Agency expect motorhome owners to use either the caravan, coach or HGV parking areas. There is no binding legislation governing either and one cannot dictate to the...

I wonder if that explains the often '0.5' reading I see on my consumer panel?
