    big old baby

    Mine hasn't really been washed since we bought it last year. I always pre-washed the old one with snow foam that I use for the cars and then just a good wash with my mitt and the car wash soap which usually shifted the rest

    New 2016 Adrias

    I stumbled upon Adrias brochures not long ago that we got from the camping and caravan show at Thainstone a couple of years ago, but chucked them as we bought a new Elddis last year. I'm sure it was a dealer but can't quite remember where they were from

On our last caravan which was caked in black marks, I snowfoamed it to loosen the dirt etc, then took a specialist fallout (tar bugs etc) remover and sprayed it on the black marks which helped a fair bit. Then I tried an acid free wheel cleaner that I use for the car and worked...

    Wheel clamps

    Having not long bought a 2014 Elddis Avante 540, I'm looking at getting a good wheel clamp for it. Our old Bailey Senator had a through wheel Alko unit with it which was great but not sure if I could get the same for the new van. What's everyone's recommendations?
