I live in Wales but have a px deal arranged with a caravan dealer in England. The caravan dealer is open with social distancing arrangements in place. Can I legally do a round-trip to px and complete the deal?

Hi Sir Roger, We have a Sterling Europa 550 2009 at the moment so just updating a bit. Not had any serious problems so decided to stay with what me know. Having ATC and a 100w Solar Panel fitted as part of the px deal. Decided if for her indoors the bathroom area is not warm enough I have 60w...

Thanks Sir Roger hoping to pick up my Sterling Elite Amber once some of the travel restrictions have been lifted. Any areas to pay special attention to when viewing?

Thank you Sir Roger my main concern was the rear bathroom not sure if your model has that layout?

Thanks Custard avenger, After doing more research it appears the 2011 model had an Alde finned convector in the bathroom boxed in with vents. The 2012 model stayed with the same finned convector but added a towel rail. If this is correct it would seem a possible option for me.

Please could anyone with this caravan comment of the efficiency of the Alde heating in particular on the bathroom.

Thanks Hutch, Yes we do camp off hook-up so solar panel is a yes. The warm bathroom issue, if the Alde finned convector is 500mm or longer which equals 200 watts of heat will stay with it, as Alde tell me their towel rails are a max of 200 watts. But until I view the caravan cannot work out...

The dealer agreed to add Alko ATC but now says instead of fitting ATC he will supply and fit a 100 watt solar panel and a Alde towel rail in the bathroom. So just checking the bathroom warmth, Alde tell me their towel rails are 200 watt and the equivalent Alde convector radiator would be 500mm...

Concerned the bathroom area will not be warm enough as later models they added towel rails.

Hi, Thanks for your replies, it looks as if there is a concealed (under floor plinth) Alde finned convector radiator. Apparently these type of Alde convector radiators give 400w heat per metre as long as there is adequate venting So need to find out length of convector radiator and if needed...

Hi Beachball , Thanks for your welcome. I am purchasing this Sterling Elite Amber 2011 once some of these Covid-19 travel restrictions have been lifted. Any comment on this model would be appreciated. Just cannot find anything on Google referring to the Alde heating in the bathroom. I believe...

Do either of these modes have a concealed Alde finned convector in the bathroom if so what length,?
