    TV aerials

    I have one on my new 2014 Elddis Superscirocco and its very hit and miss. At the weekend in wind, rain ,bad weather and we got 9 channels (ITV, Ch4, CH5, ITV2 and shopping channels... no BBC) on a site we use regularly, all very jerky and on an Avtex 21.5 DRS TV. On Sunday morning in bright...

    Which mover?

    On our old van we had a Rhyno plus and it was very poor and underpowed moving a 1700kg SA van. With our brand new Crusader Superscirocco that we get in the next couple of weeks we bit the bullet and bought the Powrtouch Evolution AWD Auto ... being fitted by the dealer for us for when we...

    New van has been built!

    We ordered our new van at the show to get the show deal of a 'free' solar panel and chose the Elddis Crusader Super Scirocco with privacy glass and wrap round seating. Got a call from the dealer confirming she is due to be delivered to the dealer today and that I should be able to collect on...

    Do you roll to the middle?

    Just to update, we phoned Elddis and spoke to customer services. Our slats are exactly as yours. They advised that they had identified this as a particular issue for some people and therefore are offering a free upgrade to add a centre support to stop the roll. Being done under warranty...

    Do you roll to the middle?

    Hi Since we got our fixed bed in our brand new caravan we have noticed that we always end up in the middle of the bed. Now we are not 7 stone super models but surely this cannot be right. Our van is brand new and only we have slept on the bed, it is an Elddis Crusader so without sounding...

    Elddis Crusader Aurora

    Well. Eldiss Crusader Aurora? FANTASTIC all round. So pleased with it, if you can afford it and you can tow it, really do go to the next level as you will be so pleased. The difference in quality between the Odyssey and Crusader is astounding.

    Milton or Puriclean to sterilise my 'van

    We also use Milton but rinse well! Milton Tea is disgusting. Are the black bits in your water from the taps or from the toilet flush?

    Elddis Crusader Aurora

    We too have just bought a Crusader Aurora but the 2009 model! How do you find yours ? Any feedback on the Crusader would be great. We currently have an Elddis and happy with the build. I too dislike Bailey - even more now with that little black locker box... to me it looks like Dougal from...

    Sold My Car - Now Which Mondeo ????

    We have just got rid of our Mondeo after a year of hell. It was fine at test drive, 80000 on the clock (52/2002) model with the Delphi common rail. So far over the last 12 months I have had to replace all 4 injectors, 1 of them twice for contamination, leak off pipes and all fuel injection...

    vendee area or limousin area..never been, advice, please

    Hi We too are also just back from Pin Parasol and echo the comments about the site. During our stay the site started to empty quickly, with the far end of the site becoming deserted. We did find however that the Vendee whilst nice was very 'English'.

    Propane or Butane

    We have converted to propane permanently - the final straw was getting Calor lite. We use far less propane than butane so in the long run its alot cheaper and lighter.

    toilet full light

    Our light has only ever come on once. It could be you have dislodged the sensor in the tank when shaking it empty etc. We never wait for the light but empty either when it gets a bit whiffy or looks a little full and at least once every couple of days. They are heavy and if you have a long...

    Toasters

    From camping shops you can buy these wigwam like stands that you put you bread on over the gas ring and it acts just like the grill at home for cooking toast. Our toaster used to trip the EHU when it popped so we didnt bother afterwards.
