Excellent advice, watch this space, many thanks. Greylag

I have been offered the chance to look at an Autocruise Starfire 2004 with 9500 miles on it. I don't know anything about this make, so would welcome any info you might wish to impart. Regards. Greylag

Many thanks for your reply. An oven and grill is essential for us, as we never eat out and use the oven very often. I was also looking at a Bessacarr 410, which ticked every box but the dealer did not do p/x for my caravan. Keep on looking. Regards. Norman

What did you do? 3 year guarantee.....sounds like Marquis...how did you find them?

I was looking at a Hymer 544 this morning until my wife said, 'There's no grill and no oven'. Do all Hymers have no ovens? Regards.

No its not new, but will try it on PC anyway. It shouldn't take as long as it did to format. Many thanks. Norman

Well at last I have made the purchase...a 16" Avtex. John Lewis did have them in stock, tucked away on the bottom shelf. Had a 5 year guarantee, no worries. I knew it was too good to to be true, the 'no worries' bit. I want to use a USB stick to record straight from the tv. Going through...

The kind man from Lincolnshire confirmed that they have been discontinued. He advised me to stay away from Meos/Cello. He has offered to look around his suppliers and see what he can come up with. Looks as though we will have to make do with what we have and lose the use of one worksurface...

Earlyriser George I had already found that link, when you follow it to the store (John Lewis), the search finds no results, but thanks anyway. Norman

Left a message at a business in Lincolnshire who are advertising 10" Avtex. Pity they are costing them at £298, all the one's at £249 are out of stock, understandably. The Meos 13" are priced at £189, but do not have such good reviews, I prefer the price! Martin, out of box twice, pity you...

I have just tried to order an Avtex 10" tv for the caravan. A rather short tempered men said 'Out of stock and won't be getting any more in'! Does anyone know if this model has been discontinued? Having a two berth van, we only need a small tv, but perhaps not this model.

Many thanks for the replies. I may well persevere with the dish. I get fed up giving out money for another gadget that may or may not do what they say it will do. The best aerial we used on the previous caravan was the pointy one that looked a bit like a swordfish. If I can get the sat/dish...

Gave up loyalty years ago, when I realised that they do not value safe drivers. I shop around EVERY time. This year Aviva put up my premium by £1....I still had a look around and the best I could get, with £40 cashback was £375. Aviva kept my business. I'm 65, drive a Freelander and have...

Clive Not too sure about your choice of TV watching. The circular aerial on the van is u/s. The sat dish provides excellent picture, now I am getting used to setting it up, it doesn't take long. Really do not want to spend even more money on another gadget, think I will stay with the dish...

Bought a free to air satellite reciever last year and was very pleased with the reception. Now thinking of getting a small flatscreen, as the Roadstar 10" is quite deep in length and takes up most of the work surface and is a real pain. So I'm thinking of an Avtex 10" or Meos 13" which is...
