As Mogwyth says! More info on site Firefox site security here - WARNING! It is pretty boring, but it does tell you what the various padlocks mean!

And I bet you all think we just sit around doing nothing all day... Glad it's working ok!

Dear all There has a been a security update to the site this morning. We are now using a more secure means of sending and receiving your information - Something called https. The tech behind it is very boring. And please do not fret that the site was somehow 'insecure' before. We've just...

Hey everyone, Well spotted on the padlock icon. If you glance up now, you can see it is now in place. It is not that the site was somehow 'insecure' before, more that it is secure to the standard that Google recognises now. The extra security ensures that when you type in your passwords and...

Anyone who thinks caravans are expensive should buy a camper van. Mine would make a poor man out of Paul Getty. And as for the Range Rover in that picture, it was undoubtedly quite, erm...showy...it was an epic thing for chomping through the French countryside with a tourer in tow. Certainly a...

Damian - not sure how I missed this! Thank you for the nice welcome back. More on the tech than the writing side these days but will definitely be hanging around more regularly. Currently without caravan as I have a (terrible) camper van, but I did manage to borrow quite a nice car and van for...

Useful solar panel guidance from Diamond Dave - the magazine's tech ed. He fits them for a iiving so he knows his stuff... http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg7fOFv58i8

Welcome to the site! A Tracker is for getting the van back should some rogue steal it, and will likely reduce your insurance premium too, but an alarm protects it from the more likely scenario of break ins and petty theft. Several companies specialise in motorhome security and would be well...

Dear all, The ad format at the top of all forum pages has been locked in place - the jumping of the page has been stopped, but please shout if you see it re-emerge. We have changed the maximum size of adslot, but that doesn't mean we definitely won't get some odd behaviour as it settles down...

Thanks for all the comments! It is still jumping, but the offending advert creatives will not be permitted on the forum pages in the next few days. ProfJohnL - Right idea, but difficult for us to achieve. The site is built to serve whichever ads are sold into the slot. Because they are sold...

Hello all. An update. The page jump phenomenon is being addressed. As mentioned earlier in the thread, it is to do with the advert at the top of the page. When a double-height one is served into the page, it loads and then expands afterwards. That expansion is the irritating jump. I have asked...

This company based in Chester (http://www.caravan-parts.org/) claim to offer spares for many continental motohomes but something like a door hinge is likely to be used on lots of different vehicles. Are there any part numbers on the hinge to help identify it?

Hello - Maxview's UK customer service team are generally pretty helpful. Might be worth dropping them a line. They don't list the mounting on their site, but they may know where to get one, or have one on a shelf that they didn't think was worth putting on the site... Customer Helpline &...

Ok - have blocked Mr Yuanyuan. Please shout if you see him around the place again. Thanks for the heads up! Nige

Thanks for the spot. Am getting my broom out to chase them away... Back soon!
