    Front end rebuild

    Good morning all, Can anyone tell me if I should be using permenant but flexible adhesive to bond new wood to fibre glass around the front windows of my caravan? Or could I use FC40 or something similar? The reason I ask is , the thought crossed my mind that maybe I should have some sort of...

    Dash Cams

    Bit late I know if it's any use I have two of the E-prance dash cams, they're great, lovely and clear, helped me with a recent claim against Derbyshire county council after I hit a pot hole which totaly destroyed one of my front tyres, well worth the money, the reason I have two is one front...

    Caravan paint

    I used a small piece of aluminium and fc40 to strengthen the weak point in my aluminium skin which seems to have sealed it until I get to paint and finally finish my van, good job as the weather has been foul for ages up here over the weekends in the north east, thanks for all your advice guys...

    Perils of Sat Nav

    Ive just bought a TomTom go 6000, if I bought the caravan mapping thingy, does it assume I'm towing all the time from that point onwards or do I have to tell it when I'm towing my caravan, sorry if this is a daft question but I need to know please. Sean.

    Speedometer Accuracy

    I recently bought a TomTom go 6000 and wondered if it was at fault, it's brand new so it looks like my speedo is out by 2 mph too. Sean.

    John Wickersham

    Terribly sad news indeed, what a sad loss, he had a sense of humour like no other and a great deal of knowledge which will be greatly missed, rest in peace John. Sean.

    O'leary's might have one, he seems to have just about everything for camper vans and caravans. Sean.

    Push tow bar

    Practice reversing in an open empty space, ie car park, check you have good vision with your towing mirrors, this is not sarcasm but you'd be surprised who many times I've seen people towing with mirrors that seem too small or not extended enough, don't be disheartened, reversing straight can be...

    Speed on sites

    This will be my last reply to this thread, I just wanted to clarify a few things, I'm a very mild tempered person although speed on sites does make me annoyed, I'm not against 4x4's or older people who drive them, with regard to "stupid speeds" on site, I'm referring to speeds an athlete would...

    Speed on sites

    It was a personal observation not stereotyping mate, this is why I mentioned not confined to, I'm a very considerate driver on and off the roads. Sean.

    dog poo

    Fortunately not all dog owners are the same though, most, or at least the ones I've come across are responsible, we certainly were. Sean.
