    Runaway caravan in Yorkshire

    Is a tow-thingy not clear enough? ;) Thanks for making that clearer for people to understand.

    Runaway caravan in Yorkshire

    The first time I towed a caravan it came off. Well I may look unbelievably stupid and careless but someone might learn from my mistakes and it did take sometime for people who knew what they were doing to work out what the problem was. We went to see a second hand caravan and decided to...

    Stolen caravan

    I thought I would give a little more information on my stolen caravan, a bit might be useful to you in certain circumstances but it's mostly just interesting. I thought I better to wait a little while before posting this information just in case the police could do something about it. People...

    Stolen caravan

    Thanks everybody. Really sorry to hear about yours Marsh Harrier. That's really terrible that they doped the dogs, but not surprising. Have people been more busy pilfering than normal during the lockdown? This is settled nomad country. I don't like to cast nasturtiums though, it could have...

    Unusual layout search - underbed 'garage'

    Hello, The sprite quattro fb has epic amounts of storage under the fixed bed, lift up with hydraulic, with external access too. Should be plenty of used ones on the market as the model has been around a long time.

    Stolen caravan

    Hello, Please could you keep an eye out for it. I doubt it will be seen again but don't want the thieves to get away with it if possible. The reason u won't be joining you on the road this summer is because my caravan was stolen only a couple of weeks ago from a 'secure' compound. The...

    Cupboard door push button stuck

    Thank you for all of your responses. It's a cupboard on its own, so I don't have access from inside to unscrew it. There is also a big bit of 'decorative' MDF within about an inch of the edge of the door that sticks out about two inches so I don't think I can stick anything credit card sized...

    Cupboard door push button stuck

    Hello, Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can open a cupboard door push button which is stuck halfway in. I have tried pushing it in and out lots but it never comes fully out. I have also tried re-levelling my van, as suggested elsewhere. My van is a 2019 Swift, if that helps. ReverendJT

    Pneumatic jockey tyre

    Having looked at the soft rubber ones a bit more that maybe the way to go but I will also need to change the pole to get the extra width of tyre. Thanks for all the suggestions. I didn't think of offsetting the weight to be honest. But by buying a different jockey I can also avoid digging...

    Pneumatic jockey tyre

    Thank you for all of the advice. I'll make sure I measure. I take the point about punctures but I'm not so sure about the soft wider ones either as my non-soft current one has only been used a handful of times and is getting badly chipped. I think it's the noise weight and motor mover over...

    Pneumatic jockey tyre

    Hello, I'm considering upgrading my standard plastic jockey wheel with a pneumatic tyre, as on soft grass it creates a trench (100 kg nose weight) . Does anyone know if I will be a able to use the existing jockey pole (standard alko) or would I need to buy the whole thing? ReverendJT

    230v sockets on Sprite Caravan

    I was just browsing the forum and realised I had the same issue. I see your dealer will sort but for anyone else, who like me was already on holiday... I traced the issue to the double socket in the cupboard by the microwave, that the microwave is plugged in to. I assume the apprentice at...

    Sprite build quality

    Nothings fallen off yet, fingers crossed it won't. You would think 4 magnets would be enough to hold a tiny bit of fake wood. And we'll see about the hitch, haven't had it long enough yet.

    Cornering with a twin axle

    I did buy a TA in the end. I much prefer it over my SA as there is so much less pitching backwards and forwards. I had to preform an emergency stop within a few days of having the 'van when an idiot decided that the caravaner with the enormous 'van can deal with my extremely late overtaking on...
