Hi, I finally need to replace the elsan double concetrate flush and waste that i bought 5 years ago. I know the blue stuff is a bit nasty - so What do you use - and is it effective. The sachets for the waste look nice but expensive and Fenwicks top and tail seem like an interesting solution...

Hi, Try checking out the wattage on the Value/Basics toasters in Tesco's and Sainsburys - they are normally pretty low wattage (often about the same as the ones the caravan shops sell) - and a lot less money (Wattage should be on a label on the bottom of the toaster).

Don't get me wrong i'm ambivalent about both - but you do remember the herald of free enterprise ? A long time ago - but Ferries have had their fair share of fires and accidents since.

One final thought... My wife works in Rochester.. we live in Ashford - look on the map and notice the best route (M20 is very direct) - now if i tell you she drives home down the M2 and then cuts across to Ashford at Faversham - which is miles out of the way - when operation stack (Or operation...

it's going to be a bit more difficult to judge with the new movable barrier going in. But.... There are two parts to operation stack - part 1 is off at junction 11 back on at junction 12 (This is the bit that the new barrier will change - they are intending to take traffic onto the london...

Hi, Heard on Radio Kent that P&O are going to have 2 more sailings per day - they were saying that you should look to rebook with them and not just turn up - priority will be given to their customers. On a side note they were clearing the road works around the tunnel - where they have been...

Well it's still on fire - so i'd guess it's going to be fairly badly damaged. Also this means operation stack - so try to avoid the M20 (I live about 18 miles from the tunnel and drive past it on the way to work) and operation stack isn't any fun.

oops meant to reply to topic

My Photocard Expires on 10th October. I got a letter and form from the DVLA at the beginning of September. Basically i've had to get a new Photo, check the current details, sign the form - include 17.50 payment and then send back both paper and photocard parts. You only have to fill out the...

Hi, I sleep hot (and have memory foam) - we open the windows use a summer duvet and We use 2 desk fans - on all night - one for each of us.. Lovely and cool - and you get so used to the white noise and the moving air - can't sleep without one now. Not so good if you don't have electric connected.

not sure if this helps - from the cc site. VIN Plate / MTPLM Only applicable to post-August 1998 vehicles This calculation is based on the Gross Train Weight of your vehicle. If the Gross Vehicle Weight plus the MAW/MTPLM of your caravan exceeds the Gross Train Weight shown on the VIN Plate of...

Hi, I doubt you could tow a twin axel with a 1.8cc car. Basically you have two main considerations.. The Car's kerbweight and the Vans MTPLM The Van's MTPLM MUST NOT be more than the cars kerbweight it would be illegal to tow. The recommended wisdom is the caravan should be 85% or less (for...

I spent sometime looking at microwaves recently... I seem to remember the wavebox is a bit pricey. In the end i got a sainsbury's basics microwave - it goes on the floor over the axle when we travel. We are careful to juggle the power consumption (probably a lot more than we need to be) ! The...

Just a bit of the update - the fan moves freely - so it isn't that.. I guess what i'm asking is have i missed anything obvious - like a reset switch or something.
