    Mirrors

    Russell I have been using these mirrors for two years without problem. Yes the convex mirror will give a misleeding distance reading, but the increased vision is worth getting used to, especially on the continent. However assuming you do not just pull out with the car and caravan without...

    pump problems

    Had similar problem, found that hose connection to actual pump was loose and letting the water escape. Fixed with a standard ring clamp but trying to get a new pump unit under warranty as I don't see why I should have a 6 month old faulty pump unit.

    Roof repair, replace or fill

    Many thanks for all your comments and advice. I intend to stick to my original thoughts and have the roof panel replaced. I can confirm that as the work will be carried out by an Elddis dealer there is no problem with warranty, and also the roof skin has to be replaced, Elddis will not accept...

    Roof repair, replace or fill

    A question please for all the technical experts on the forum. I need to have a repair carried out on my Elddis roof to remove/repair dents and long crease (no idea how it occurred, honestly). It is an insurance claim, but I want to keep to a minimum the disruption and integrity of the roof...

    Gas BBQ external connections

    can anybody please advise me if there are new regulations relating to external gas bbq points. I am led to believe that the new regulations require an external connector to have an isolation valve fitted and not just a push fit connection. If this is correct when did the regulation apply...

    New Caravan Quality

    I've collected my caravan, still not everything corrected. Next time I will go by my intuition and use a better dealer, trouble is in Norwich there is not much choice of a Bailey dealer, only one at Dereham.

    New Caravan Quality

    I have owned a Bailey for 6 yrs and changed it for the new Series 5 Pageant Monarch in January 2005 (ordered in July 2004). It took six months to get the caravan due to dealer error in order. At pdi instead of one hour suggested time to check over it took 3 hours to have items we noticed...
