Ah brilliant, thanks very much for that. Will try the silicon first though. Cheers.

Thanks for that, Is the rubber gland seal you mention a big black thing that looks a bit pear shaped? Is that the thing I would have to ask Grade for if it needs replaced?? Marie

Hi folks. I have discovered there is a leak into the van from inside the telescopic pipe of the aerial (directional Status). I have been up and checked the sealant on the plastic plate and all looks well. How does the water get into the inside of the telescopic pipe?? I have read some old...

Thanks to everyone for all the replies. Got the caravan back this week and it would appear to have been nothing at all. They found it to be working and when I tried I couldn't get the manual engagement to engage from the nearside but then I tried the offside and it worked fine. Tried the...

Thanks for that. Am pretty sure I did disengage and thought I would have felt the resistence so that is piece of mind. I'll maybe be able to claim under warranty then!! Cheers.

Correction - It's a Truma SR mover

I used the motor mover in my driveway and then packed it all up and hitched the caravan on. I drove about 5 miles down the road for it’s annual service and was going to use the mover to park the van up but the rollers would not engage. (They manually engage – Truma SE mover) I am now...

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. I hadn't thought about the mplications of it not being insured and whilst it would be parked up on private ground it would be next to the pavement so I have changed my mind and gone and bought a new tow car that might just be a little bit cheaper to run day...

Hi everyone, I am looking for a way to keep monthly motoring costs down and one way I am considering is by only using the 4x4 from April to Sept and then SORN for 6 months and having a wee run around car for the daily run to work and back. Does anyone else do this? Or can anyone see any...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Much appreciated.

Hi everyone, Does anyone know of a caravan park/site anywhere in the UK that has fly fishing on site?? Thanks, Marie

I have bought an Outdoor Revolution Evolution 300 Poch Awning and tried it on the side of the van tonight. Seems fine and pleased with the quality and size of it and also the ease of puttng it up. Once it was up I noticed 4 straps with female buckes hanging from the roof where it meets the van...

I am thinking about buying another towcar. There are 2 that I am interested in. One is an 2008 with 15k and one is a 2009 with 30k. Which one do you reccommend?? Age of miles??

Hi there, I am considering buyng a Zafira 2009 or 2010 1.9 diesel but I have only ever towed my 'van with a Hyundai Tucson 4wd 2.0 diesel and wondered if the Zafira will magage just as well? My 'van is an Ace Award Transtar 2004 with an MPTLM of 1435kg. I realise I will need the 150ps...

Hi there, I have only ever towed with a 2006 4wd CRDI GSI Tucson and so have nothing to compare it to but I would buy another one without question or doubt. My van is an Ace Award Transtar at 1435kg MTPLM. I notice that when towing it can be a tad bouncy but this may be down to loading or...
