I test my Tracker Monitor occasionally by driving away with it still activated, they've never failed to call me almost immediately.

If the pump is plugged in the wrong way around (reverse polarity) it wll make the right noises but will be trying to suck.

In France I use Twiny propane cylinders and regulators (detendres) bought in a hypermarch

I bought this kit and it is very good. Far bettery quality (more solid) than the sat. in a suitcase offerings.

I too have given up caravanning in the UK this year. Nothing to do with costs. Nothing to do with van quality ( my last four have all been German). But all to do with the behaviour of fellow caravanners on site. For the past 2 years I have used adult only sites, but this year on a "no one...

I just use a 10 watt solar panel stuck on the roof of the caravan that I store in France and this is great for the job as it can be connected directly to the battery without having to use a controller. If you do this, mount the panel with a slope, as rainwater will tend to wash any dirt off.

Look no further than what the travellers use. Knaus, Hobby, LMC, Tabbert, Weippert, Fendt etc.

If I remember correctly from when I had one of these on a Shogun some years ago, the pin was free to rotate which would render the stabiliser function of the hitch useless. Check whether current versions of this now have the pin fixed.
