paul, we use a winterhoff although not on a 4x4, but i did read about 2 years ago and was told at Ropers caravans,Catterick bridge that the winterhoff is used instead of the Alko on vechicles which have got rear fitted spare wheel, something to do with the angle of lift on the stabaliser, i hope...

Hi john, i fitted a winterhoff last year, best days work i ever did, they are actually better than the alko in my opinon, after looking at there German website beat Alko hands down, on TUV tests which are very strict tests for motoring, they do one which is the German equivilant to our MOT's...

Hello lolly, if you a going to put one on i would advise not near the water inlet, as you will get interference when running water. Personaly we just run the coax through the side window and down to the telly, you may also loose quality of picture, using a external point. Hope this is helpfull.

I'm sorry but going back to paying a deposit is not a good idea, especially if you are disabled and suffer ill health. I do agree that it is only good manners to inform the site if you are unable to complete your trip, but when you have to cancell at the last minute, having to bother about...

I am sorry, but i think this system of going to book on one day (going live) is stupid. Why they can't just have it on a roll, i was told when i rang it is how it always works. well the answer to that is change it, with all the technology and computer programmes why they just can't go continuous...

hi all please could any one advise, in the manual it says to replace water filter every 30 days, but i have read the odd comment from other people who say they use the same one for the whole season, but there is no indication as to whether they are using crystal or another make and if the make...

The only road that is unsuitable for caravans and class 1 hgv is hemsley bank, but that is north of york on the edge of the north york moors nat park, but if you go near there towing your unit there are signs advising you of the alternative route.

Thank you for all your advice, also managed to speak to local friendly service guy, told me to take out old filter which we replace every month (during summer), and pull white plastic from clear threaded part and replace finger tight so that system does not leak. In the process of now doing...

Advice welcomed, have layed caravan up over winter,i am going to clean water system out over weekend with sterilising solution, but first time i have done with water heater and water filter system. can i run through without filter in situe and is it alright to run solution through water heater...

can anyone advise please, have never had to lay up caravan for winter before, have undone sump plug to empty water in heater, how are you to know when the heater is completely empty, the plug was open for about 8 hours, before being replaced. Have switched on hot taps with 12v system on and...

graham, could you tell me if your cassett is a C2 or not for the same has happened to us this week and all other fuses are ok, and we also lost the pump for fresh water, fortunatley bought bottled to last final day.

Hi oliver have just put on a winterhoff, and after reading the tests on their website they beat Al-ko hands down on all, even on the TUV test which is within the same set of tests, as tested on German cars bi-annually and makes our MOT look like a walk in the park. We have just come back from a...

we have a towsure leaf stabliser fitted, in the instructions it states you must not reverse with it on. The dilema is that both me and my dear wife are disabled so it is completely impractical, and extreamley time consuming to deploy side lift and get out of van to disconnect the leaf every time...

The problem i found with green flag is that they can not cater very well with caravaners who are disabled, plus the fact that with green flag you only get the first 30mins free, after that you are then invoiced from the garage that comes out to you , that i discovered in the small print, with...
