With some Toyota key fobs you can turn off the key, so no RDF signal is transmitted, you just have to remember to turn your key back on when approaching your vehicle, other makes of car may have the same facility, I got this info from the UK based Hilux forum, while my present one still is a key...

Would they charge for a wind out awning? not so sure.

If you want to book hotels/Inns etc and don't want to pay a deposit then book through one of the many websites, we have used "Booking.com" you do pay a little extra but you only pay when at the destination, you can also cancel at any time free of charge, up to 24hrs before arrival, so your...

You can have up to 3.1 Kwt 10,500Btu of cooling, I have had A/C in my caravans for nearly 30yrs the best one was a "Telair" quieter than the others never had any problem with them , all dealers push Dometic as most of your domestic equipment will be that make which if Iam not mistaken is...

Sorry I stand corrected, BMW engines are used.

I was told the caravan tyres need to replaced when the tyre is five years old, this is mainly due to the amount of inactivity that most of these tyre subject to. I would and do always buy the recommended size of tyre, and the best I can afford, which is usually a named brand, why skimp on a...

Had a portable one many years ago mainly for travels to France, they all have an exhaust duct, and the water tank need emptying. It was in a Schooner so a big van, I drilled two holes in the floor with a hole saw, out of sight, kept the cut outs, then made a slightly larger diameter piece out of...

Mice traps/bait?

Depending on your model and age of your car, it may have Android auto or Car play software built in, if it has you can use your phone as your sat nav, it just comes up on your dash screen, but this is standard on some newer cars as manufactures don't need put in extra navigation software, its...

Why do they need to charge the cars up at Tesco? do they all live a few hundred miles away and need to charge to be able to get home? I dont think so, could it be that its FREE? perhaps I will have to think about that!

Also sat nav has changed, its not always included with the vehicle, but it may be pre-loaded with Andriod Auto or Apple Car Play, you now use your phone to download the Apps, or any other type, I use Waze, pair it with your car using the vehicles dashboard screen, set your destinations while at...
