Thanks Got a few bolts lying in the kitchen ready to take to caravan. Now think that it is an M6 of around 1 inch in length which I have ready to try as next time I see the caravan we will be taking it away with us.

Hello all I am hoping that someone can tell me the size of screw / bolt which holds the little plate against the battery to hold it firm. I take the battery out over winter in storage and put it on a solar trickle charge. The holding plate is still lying there but no sign of the screw. Just in...

Thanks to all. Will get it cleaned up before use (early October) and check for the groove in the neck. Cheers Rovi

Hello I have recently purchased a Volvo v50 and the dealer fitted a tow bar with a removable tow ball for me. Since there is only one kind of swan neck available can someone please tell me if this is suitable for the Alko hitch? Also this is black coated so do I have to remove all coatings and...

Thanks once again. The tyres are now up to the correct pressure of 51psi. Ivor

Hello again The Swift Group have replied to me and told me that the tyre pressures should be 51psi and Perthshire Caravans think that the pressures should be 36psi. Does anyone else have any thoughts. 165R13C

Thanks, I will look into getting an in line suppressor and smoothing capacitors before I go away again and see how we get on as caravan lives in storage. Ivor

I have fitted a cd radio to my caravan which works fine playing cd's but has a very bad buzz when playing the radio. When I switch off the mains power system ( the 12 volt transformer and charger ) the radio works fine. This is not an ideal solution as the fridge, charger and a socket are all on...

Hello Just back from Park Coppice and my advice to you is to spend some time chosing your pitch as there are some very nice pitches to be had on this site. I even saw some people driving around without their caravan and when they found a suitable pitch the wife stayed while he went off for the...

Thanks Moses, looking forward to my time there. Ten days to go!!!! Ivor

I am off to this site in a couple of weeks and since my daughter, son in law and grandaughter will also be on holiday in the area can anyone tell me which mobile phone, if any works on the site.

Glad that someone else is happy with the Caravan Club policy of not pre booking pitches as the person who wrote into this months Practical mag. moaning that the club does not allow him to put his car on the next pitch for his friends who will arrive later is being very selfish. If there is only...
