We had a cordless handheld but it ran out pretty quickly so we replaced it with a cheap 12v car vac from Halfords. No fancy brushes or anything but its good enough for going over seats & carpets to pick up any crumbs. Not sure how it would hold up if you have kids or dogs around but its fine...

Thank for you for all your advice, I've printed it out to ensure I have it in front of me for when round two starts. I followed the advice of Consumer Direct, to put my complaint in writing to the store manager. They said I need to give them 10 days in which to respond so its now just a waiting...

Its a speaker/radio system with built in dock, plugs into mains via a transformer type plug. Checked a few internet reviews and almost half complain of problems with mains power! Consumer Direct advised me to send a written complaint to the store, they should have offered me a full refund in...

Thank you Woody. I will return it to the store today and ask to speak to a supervisor or store manager. I understand these things may happen but it just seemed a bit odd to me that everything else was fine. The only thing affected was a brand new dock used for the first time on mains. I've...

Thanks for the reply. Its been making that noise since we got the caravan and three different engineers have seen it and said it was normal! Going to get a new fuseboard fitted so will ring the guy we now use and see what he has to say. Thanks again.

We recently stayed at the Cobleland Forrest Holiday park in Gartmmore. About 20 miles from Stirling, bit further along than the Blair Drummond site, but we thought it was great. Site was clean and tidy, and located next to the forrest so if you like walking or biking you can go straight from the...

Apologies if I've not posted this in the correct forum but I really need some advice on power surges. Sorry if it's a bit long. I am aware that power surges can occur and they can cause damage to sensitive equipment, that's why my computer kit is connection to the mains via a surge protection...

So is that what the annoying buzzing noise is. Since we got our caravan last year the buzzing noise coming from the Zig unit has driven us mad. As we used to have an electric coolbox the noise of the fan drowned out the buzz, but now we have replaced it with a more quiet fridge the buzzing is...

Cannot be any more noisy than the fan on the electric cool box we use. Found the cheapest deal at a local store so might pop in and see if they have one on display.

Found a company locally who do repairs so will give them a call and see what they say. Think they also do the cleaning & re-waterproofing too. Be easier than us doing the work as we don't have anywhere we can erect the awning properly. Only problem is the missing pole, no one seems to have one...

I've used them to sell an old knitting machine I had. Found it a lot more sucessful than the local ads and ebay. Its free to sell and buy. The fee comes in when you are a buyer and want to view brand new ads - its then a

Excellent Nick, thanks for that. Looks like its potentially our new fridge!

I'm a novice to all this, but I was under the impression the jockey wheel is used to level the caravan when on site. The stabilsers are there just to stabilise it. However, I've been on three sites now where people have removed the jockey wheel completely. Are you supposed to do this or is it...

We got a bradcot awning with our caravan and we are in two minds as to what to do with it. The roof looks like its made of waterproof fabric, as are the windows, but the rest of the panels look like heavy duty fabric. In its prime it looks like it was a very good awning. However, its got a...

Seen the Waeco CK40 and thought about buying one, but would like to see one rather than go from a photo. Not sure how much we could fit in - we can stand 2ltr bottle in our electric coolbox. If I could get a fixed one pretty cheap I may consider it but the age of the caravan puts me off paying...
