After trying the winder tool, unsuccessfully, Pwrwheel tued out a service man, who came with new unit to fit. Found the electrical spade connectors to unit had corroded and failed. Replaced unit and all now as new. But why it corroded electrics is unclear, as the terminals are housed in...

The TV series recently aired was cringeworthy and obviously staged for camera humour. Idiots abroad more like. But unbelievable how folks behave when caravanning. Thanks goodness I have a lifestyle that does not impinge on others.

Can anyone suggest which brand/type of mirrors to go for to fit Landrover Discovery towing my Swift Ace 'van Been using pair bought 3 yrs ago, but the rubber straps holding it over original mirror have perished and one has snapped, so resorted to gaffer tape to hold in place. Seems rubber...

My Powr Touch mover developed a fault to one mover, and after trying to make it engage according to instructions, called the company and had reasonable conversation as to what had ben tried, determined it needed closer examination by their engineer. He came few days later with complete unit...

Single wheel motor mover fitted from new. Powrwheel version for single axle. Was working until left for past 6 months. Now remote does not move one unit, which is clear of the wheel. Unable to get it to engage. Used the T Bar socket to turn drive shaft, but no movement. Don't want to...

Not sure if this is acceptable here, but here goes ! I have decided to swap my 2 yr old Swift Ace Diplomat for low line camping car. Moving home soon, but no space for caravan, so camping car will be OK to park on drive. This caravan has had very little use, three weekend in UK and 3 weeks...

Swift thinks it can be replaced under warranty, when examined ? . Trip to dealer to do that ! Dealer is happy to do fitting when Swift replacement available at the dealers premises. Another trip possibly. Still stuck with trip of couple of hundred miles return to carry out what "might...

Had thoughts of trip to Norway next year, but uncertain as to way to cross North Sea. Ferry withdrawn to Denmark, none to Norway directly, so got a problem on routing. Any thoughts of yours welcomed. Ta.

Welcome to forum. is your skill limited to full resto or part, as my CLK needs interior tidy ?

For on route overnighting at that time of year, I suggest the autoway service areas on m/ways are as safe as anywhere. No crooks around then as too quiet and cold. Advantage of dinning and rest facilities, plus company of truckers, give sense of security.

Bonterra Park is highly recommendable. Been twice in 10 years, and good standards of everything maintained, plus helpful staff.

The disruption at Dover is not worth the hassle, whether its the migrants or the port worker disputes, or ferry company crews, had enough of Dover, so now use Dunkirk for short trips, and Santander for longer times in Spain.
