Finally managed to get the spare out. Unscrewed the centre clamp and had to pull the bottom of the wheel towards me before rolling out to the centre of the van. Awkward and very heavy. Had to remove the gas bottle first and avoid the gas bottle clamp (thanks for that Martin_E) so not to damage...

Thanks Gary. Hope you never have to do this in earnest!!!

Noted Martin, thanks.

Thanks to all. Will try to sort out when I get back from holiday. If I do get a puncture on the way back, I'll let the AA sort it.

Thanks Ian. Will have a think about that. Will do it at home because I will still have to deflate the spare take the rubber less in diameter to clear the bracket.

I have a problem with the spare wheel on my recently purchased 2022 model. It's fitted in the front locker on the offside, with a fixing through the centre of the wheel. My problem is how to get ìt out in the event of a puncture!!! As it's fully inflated (obviously) I can't get it passed the...

Tried the gaffa tape (white) and works a treat, thanks. It was either that or a body building course and a damaged caravan.

I will try this, thanks.

After just buying the above, the magnet door keeper is driving me nuts. It's very effective but when I try to close the door, it's so strong I think I'm going to pull the side panel of the van off!!!! Does anyone else feel the same? Has anyone got an idea of a solution please?

Thanks Birdman101. I thought that to be the case. Honesty the best policy with insurers. Will refill the online form reflecting such.

I've just bought a Swift Challenger 530 (2022) and am in the process of changing my caravan insurance. One question the insurer asked (on line) was if the van had ATC. I automatically said it did, as I thought all newish vans had it as standard. My last van, an Elddis had an indicator on the A...
