I used Aintree Caravan Services. Excellent and efficient service. I would thoroughly recommend them. Regards Ian

Thanks mr Mullsy1 I've sent them an email

Hello Can anybody recommend a mobile caravan service engineer in the merseyside area? We used to have it serviced at Discover in Chorley but it's now out of warranty and they have sadly closed I believe. I just need a general service on the 'van. Only one thing wrong is that I can't get the...

Hi All I 'may' need to take a transfer from my office and need to work in Sheffield (complicated). At least for a short term I may need to use the 'van to stay there. Does anybody know of a site north of Sheffield ish or a decent CL where I would be welcome for a few weeks? Cheers Ian

Time to sort of think about changing the towcar. I Currently have a VW Phaeton 3.0 Tdi. and I fancy going back to a BMW 530d which in my opinion has the best and smoothest engine around. The GT version for some reason is discounted hugely. It seems much more practical to me having a hatch...

DD, not a techie person at all. I wouldn't know an earth if I fell over it. The car and van are only 3 yrs old and electrics fitted by VW so I would hope I'm ok. I was simply asking how I could tell if it was working or not. I've no reason to think it isn't. As you say, running on 12v will...

I do think the omission of a light in the fridge is very poor. Also, an indicator of whether the fridge is actually working would have been nice.

No it doesn't.

Although I've had my van for 3 years now I still regard myself as a newbie. When I have my caravan hooked up to the mains its obvious that by fridge is working because the freezer gets cold, quick. When I unhook and drive to my next destination how can I tell if the fridge is working when set to...

Hi y'all Getting off ferry at Poole in August on a friday night at 22:15 (but will be in french mode so its 23:15 to me). I need to be back in Liverpool for 1pm th enext day at the latest as I am going the game :-) I'm thinking if I drive for 80 miles or so away from Poole to just to get rid...

Just arrived back from Windermere C&CC site which is curiously 4 miles from Windermere. There is a 'pub' on-site which we didn't get a chance to use but we did use the Eagle and Child in Stavely which is a 20 minute walk across the fields (public footpath) although this would be difficult for...

I've lost my spare keys. The only one I'm worried about is the tubular key for the wheel lock. Its a Lowe & Fletcher with no 992294 stamped on the side. ANybody any idea where I can get one of these? The Lowe and Fletcher site does not respond to my emails. Lots of sites offering L&F keys to be...

I've just got 'van out of storage. Wish I'd kept the cushions at home over the winter. We've obviously spilt something on a cushion and missed it. Its now got a dodgy looking stain that I need to clean. I don't know whether I can remove the covers and wash them in a machine or can only use the...

I've just priced up a holiday through C&CC. Carnac area of Brittany. Thats 230 miles from Cherbourg or 410 from Calais. Total holidat cost with Poole - Cherbourg crossing is about £1000 where as the Seafrance crossing from Dover - Calais is coming up at £417. This is including campsite for 7...

I bought a brand new Bailey pageany S6 with nearly £2,000 off. That was 3 years ago and a new model was out any day. I wanted the old model though with 'L' lounge. It was a demonstrator I shoudl add, but we got it the next weekend though.
