Morning All Wonder if anyone else has had the same problem with their water system as I currently have. A few weeks back I had a problem with a foul taste in the water on my van. As I live in it during the week for work this is a big issue. Anyway I drained the system down and flushed it...

Wonder if anyone else has had the same problem with the Truma water heater in a Bailey 460/4. When it is turned on on electricity it heats up fine till the thermostat cuts it out, but then it doesnt heat up again. Turn it off for 5 mins and it resets fine but still only heats up once. Previously...

Thanks for the suggestion, however the leg is still intact (as it was on the last one) its the slot in the bottom of the tube that has broken so nowhere to attach the tie wrap to.

HELP!! Last year I had a fault on my Thetford SC200CW toilet flush pump. When I removed it I found that the bottom section had snapped off the tube. I took this as a wear and tear issue as the van gets a lot of use. Of course I couldnt buy the tube on its own (you can get the bottom plate but...

Hi there, I wonder if any of you guys out there can help me with a problem with my 2007 Bailey ranger 460/4. Around the large middle skylight there are four flush mounting lights. One of these has stopped working, obviously I suspect the bulb has gone, problem is how to get it out!. There...

Thanks to all for your advice I knew I could count on your support. You seem to have thought of everything. i shant bother with the awning as i am on my own and can manage the muddy boots etc, can always use the boot of the car if needs be. think I might try and do away with the aquaroll...

Hi there. I intend to use my caravan over the winter, something I havent done before in 30 years of caravanning. Are there any little gems of information that you more seasoned caravanners out there would like to pass on? obviously concerned about water and waste freezing, are there any other...

Have a thetford C4 cassette toilet in my 1996 Avondale. Looking to replace the seals as it tends to drip when I carry it away for emptying. Also actual shower room seems to get rather smelly, (no sarcastic comments required!!) can these leak when they are in position (and obviously not full) as...

Thanks le croc sounds like my sort of place, will pass on the surfing but the wine works for me!!! Cheers Peter

Has no one been to this site before? or is it poor and you guys dont want to comment? Would be glad of any feedback

We are off to Valley Truckle in a couple of weeks for a fortnights well earned break. Was wondering if anyone had been ther recently and can let us know what they thought of it. Also any "must do's" or "must eat theres" in the area will be most welcome Thanks# Peter

My this has sparked a debate hasnt it!! To answer a number of questions in one... 1 The head gasket is fine.. was tested last week 2 The fan does cut in and out as it should 3. The thermostat seems to be working but the original spec for this is 98-103 degrees so it will always tend to...

Cooling system all checks out ok - radiator fan cutting in and out as it should only the rate of increase in temperature seems to be too quick for the fan to counteract. Sometimes even solo the needle almost hits the red zone then drops back quite quickly I know from my mechanic that the stat...

John.... Didnt expect a solution from Kenlowe, just some air of confidence that they thought it would help. Regarding the clutch suggestion, its an automatic petrol engine. Tows like a dream, a lot better than I expected when I bought it. Cooling system has been fully flushed a few months ago...

Wonder if anyone can help me... I have a Vectra B 2002 (last of the old shape) which I use to tow an Avondale Orion. Towing weight is less than 1000kg but I still have overheating issues when manoevering. I know these engines are prone to running warm, the stat runs from 98-103 degrees!! tends...
