Having caravanned for years and years .....and years, I have never needed a cover, but now I forced to park the van in the drive under my neighbours trees which I have cut back to my fence. I think now is the time for a cover. Would the forum like to give me the latest information and pros...

Hi ProfJohnL From your previous posting suggesting I should invest in a 'surge damper' I examined my system and realized I already had one fitted. My dilema then was, had it gone faulty or did it need adjusting (it had a fine adjustment on the front) I then emailed Truma explaining my...

Good News ..... I finally rec'd an email from truma and as they suggested if there was a restricting washer in the shower head make the hole bigger etc. I enclose the email from Truma:- I have consulted with one of the engineers and respond on their behalf. The surge damper is...

Thank you all for your replies, much appreciated. Of course if this is a know issue why isn't it rectified by the manufactures? Can you tell me where I can aquire a "surge damper" for my system. Thank you all again for your input and interest.

Hi All I have a van which is 9 months old with a Truma Combi water heater/room heater. I have no problems with the system as such and it seems to do everything it should …. Now the bad news. When using the onboard shower it seems to cycle the water from hot (60 degrees) to cold in...

Hi, thank you all for your replies, have been away so sorry for the delay in answering

Hi Coburn, thank you for your reply regarding the ATC, sorry for the delay have been away.

Can anyone recommend a CL in Northumberland, Alnwick/Wooler/Seahouses area. We have stayed at CC sites in Northumberland but thought we would try some CLs this time ......... Easy access would be an advantage!

Hi All, just changed my van to the above and it is the first van I've had with Alko ATC, my concern is when the van is plugged in and the ATC jumps into life, will it run down my battery if the car engine isn't running? My second query regarding the same van, when I use the shower, there seems...

It was wonderful to see all the flags flying for the Jubilee and now the Euro footie thingy, but SO annoying to see so many flying upside down. I expect it will be the same for the Olympics, I find it strange that people living in the UK don't know the correct orientation. Perhaps we should...

Just had my yearly quote and thought it was reasonable for 'new for old' So decided to ring around for a better quote (as you do). I was elated when I was quoted a price £50 cheaper. I phoned my original insurer to see if they could honour or beat the price, unfortunately they couldn't but...

Hi All Insurance time again, was quoted for market value of van £150.00 If I have a tracker (which I have), but 187.00 without tracker. My tracker needs its annual fee shortly which is £99.00. So I can get my insurance £37 cheaper if I spend £99 ????????? Not cost effective me thinks.

Just thought I'd make a comment, most people can use a multimeter with care, that's not the problem. The problem, if there is one, is understanding the readings the multimeter is giving you. For example, the voltage reading doesn't necessarily tell you the condition of the battery, and...

Hi all, the wife and I have just had 3 days at Clumber Park, the price £76 .....WOW One of the days the water was turned off at 0930 and the toilet blocks were locked until 1630. It would seem they were doing health checks on the water system. Firstly, I think if you are paying a high price...

Petrol 4 gallons for a £1.00, and 4 pints of Watneys Red Barrel as I remember and chips 3d for a shed load in newspaper, loads of vinegar and salt and who can remember the blue packets of salt in crisps.
