This looks a bit more like it, thank you!

We chose this van on weight rather than price and I have to say its superior in many ways to its competitors efforts at "entry level". As a family of 4 the layout is ideal and having compared with its rivals meticulously I don't see that the quality is compromised compared to much heavier and...

Some friends of ours have bought an apartment near Marbella and I recently enjoyed a road trip to take a car out for them (ferry from Portsmouth to Santander afternoon drive to Madrid and then up the next day and in Marbs for lunch) which was a very nice drive all in all - so i was thinking of...

Its always been my understanding that the combined maximum train weight cannot exceed 3500kg... the police would look at the VINs and are unlikely to take me to a weigh bridge unless they thought i had overloaded car, caravan or both. I have to say its more stubbornness on my part that I wish...

Thanks for this suggestion Mazda lighter than the latest insignia will definatly put into contention!

Morning All, I am one of the unlucky few who passed there driving test after Jan 1997 meaning I am restricted to a gross train weight of 3500kg. I have a lovely light Lunar Venus (the one featured on the homepage currently) on order which has an MTPLM of just 1380kg. We currently tow with a...

I have tried the light fitting in a spare set of wires that hang from the kitchen roof vent and it works there so logically there is no power coming down the circuit into the bathroom anymore when once there was, all other lighting and electrics are are in tact and functioning which has led me...

OK new question - does anyone have the details of a sterling/swift technical helpline I can try?

Caravan search is great thank you hadn't seen the option where by you can list suitable vehicles! New car this year, new van as soon as I can save enough pennies ; )

Under the wardrobe floor: Under the seats at the front:

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me locate the fuse for my 2005 Sterling Europa 500 bathroom light, its the only light not working and i have tried the actual light fitting itself in a different location in the van and it works absolutely fine so I am 99% its the fuse. I have checked under the...

Another way of looking at it, is there a site where I can list vehicles that are capable of towing this weight?

... and this is the point I was trying to make rather than get into the nitty gritty of my current Tow Car. I am quite prepared to consider upgrading my tow car but I don't see a lot that can actually tow this van suitably.

Found a caravan we loved today and were all set for an upgrade but i wanted to check a few things before I committed to the purchase... The van in question is a swift conqueror 565 and we love it. Problem is towmatch.info doesn't seem to like our tow car in fact in have yet to find a tow car it...

Thanks Graham, I have contacted Gwithian farm as their site says "No additional vehicles/boats permitted during July, August and Spring Bank week.I'm hoping my canoe doesn't fall into that category. Cannot get access to the CC site until tomorrow when their site comes back online. Thanks again...
