    Euro with the dog

    It depends on the dog, we fairly regularly take our laid back Golden Retriever & Dutch Labrador on 6-8 hour Western Channel crossings, they just snuggle down & sleep. They prefer to be together so we don't use the on-board kennels.

    Kitchen sink taps only work when bathroom shower tap is on ....

If you remove the connectors from the switch, connect them together to see if that turns on the pump, if it does, that would point to the switch being faulty, depending upon the tap, the switch may be available as...

    Bradcot awning instructions

    I've got a set of instructions for the Classic which I can e-mail you if one of the moderators passes on your e-mail address. I must warn you that the instructions are pretty much useless though, 2 sheets of A4 with the diagrams so small they are almost unreadable. A comment to Bradcott & a...

    Confused about which car to buy

    No idea of your question but 85% is not a limit, just a guide figure that was plucked from the air years (decades?) ago. I understand that it's never been proven or disproven if this is a correct ratio.

    Motor Movers...worth the money...any recommendations?

    That's rather a pointless question on here, I doubt if many would be prepared to admit wasting £500+ on a useless gadget

    Caravan Breakers

    Thanks Parksy, I did get a reply to my 2nd e-mail this evening but they only had new supports at a ridiculous price (£39.99 each) The reason I wanted a breakers is that I only need the spring loaded supports which would mean cheaper shipping than a complete roof light.

    ps276 12v charger

    I noticed while cleaning our caravan yesterday that the battery hadn't been charging but the 12V lights & pump were working. On tracing the wiring I discovered a dirty spade connector in the wire between the charger & battery. From my experience it might be worth checking to see if you have...
