Thanks for the info. It looks like I'll have to look into a new TV as well. By the way, I realise that you have to retune the freeview box every time you move the van but mostly we are on the same pitch at our storage site and it still tells us we have no signal when we have had it before...

I have had a Tesco freeview box for several years which has given me a lot of grief by saying "No signal". At other times it has been fine, giving me a few extra channels. I am now in the process of replacing it with something that works but I have no idea what to look for. All I want is the...

Do you know where the 9v battery is? I don't know if this may be our problem but I don't know where ours is.

I was just about to post a new topic when I read yours. I have a problem with our alarm. It was fitted by the dealer when we bought it from new 6 years ago but the alarm manufacturer has gone out of business. We have not been able to set out alarm with the remote keys for some time so we have...

Paul You are lucky! We've had one of these suitcase kits for about 3 years but can't get any channels. I don't know what we're doing wrong! Any suggestions? No technical answers please - we don't understand them. Anne

Drying towels is a problem in a caravan. I bought a 1kw radiator which stands in the bedroom and dries all our towels and teatowels. It's better than blown heating - as you say blown heating isn't very effective in an end bathroom. Don't know anything about heated towel rails - it's not a job...

Buy bottled water! The cheapest one will do. At least it is clean and doesn't have a bad taste. If it's only to boil the kettle it's ideal. You can get 5 litres for less than

Hi David Thanks for your helpful advice. How would I find out whether the alarm is connected to the main battery supply and if not where would I look for the rechargable battery? By the way the van is 5 years old. Sorry to be so vague but we are out of our depth on technical matters! Thanks...

We have an Avondale Argente 642-4. Can anyone please tell me the purpose of having a leisure battery when we always go on sites with electric hook up? We only move the van once or twice a year as the van is in storage at a site and they get the van out for us when we want to stay there at the...

Our battery appears to need charging as we cannot set the alarm on the van when we go out although the gauge on the wall points to it being full. The battery charger in the van is always on but it obviously doesn't charge enough. We can't take our van home due to lack of space so we leave it...

DITTO!

Hi Just got back from the van having spent all Saturday afternoon trying to get our Maplin's satellite in a suitcase going to no avail. We eventually found Astra 28.2 and got the background picture but kept losing it and in the end it flipped back on to 19.2 (?) (German). What are we doing...

Don't waste your money on a rechargeable cleaner - you'll be disappointed. I have an electric Pod vacuum for caravans and even that doesn't do a brilliant job and we don't have dogs. I took my Dyson from home at the beginning of the season which did the job properly. If you do decide to...

Thanks for all your suggestions. I'll try again when I next go to the van but I think the problem may be as Steve has pointed out - we are on the preset Astra 19 because the channels are German. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks again.

Sorry this may seem obvious but is your telly on AV channel?
