Hi John, We too have an old van - 1993! We have had occassion to use Gary in the past and are delighted with his work, turnaround time, and prices, and would use him again - until we upgrade! Removal of the unit is simple - some self tappers holding the ducting pipes onto the rear of the...

Simon, try looking for the website www.sealsplusdirect.co.uk, as they do all the seals you will ever need ! Owain

Brian, re the saga of the bikes on the roof, we have a 7 seat Terrano, and carry 4 bikes on Thule racks, using one of those aluminium decorators platforms to gain access. By the time you have bought a four wheel drive anyway, and are limited to 60 mph, and with a fuel consumption to cringe at...

Lolly, you can get them at any caravan dealers, internet - Ebay etc, just check the zips are compatible with your awning, as not all manufacturers use the same zips...we have 2 with the inner tents and wouldn't be without them ! Owain.

See the telescopic aerial mast with twin fixing clamps on EBay - sold by Satsales.uk...seems to solve all the problems ! Owain

Lolly, do you have ducted air heating ? I bought a kit off ebay for the van and we leave the toilet vent open at night, close all the others, and leave the heater on 'tickover' - by the morning all are dry and warm towels for showers !

Lisa - check out www.satsalesuk and see their listing for caravan accessories - a telescopic pole extending to 11 feet which comes with clamps to fix onto the jockey wheel, you can just buy the clamps if you have a pole already ( bet it won't be telescopic though !! ) and yes, you can get the...

A less damaging option is to use dental floss, it won't scratch and does the job, there are plenty of aftermarket residue removers in the car shops such as halfords etc - good luck !
