Lastly, I'm trying to get hold of Winterhoff in the uk. I've tried Google and I can only find them in Germany. Does anyone know if they have a UK office?

I've had some really good advice with regard to my little............. errrr, accident. Thank you all for your help.

Hi Ray I've had the mechanism explained and I've had a look at mine and it makes sense to me. There is a pad/lever at the top of the hitch this is pushed up when the hitch is lowered onto the ball. The locking handle can not be lowered until this pad is pushed up.

Hi I have the above water heater fitted to my caravan, when it was put to bed last winter there were no issues but since we got her up we can't get the water to heat using electricity. We don't have any gas to see if it will work on gas and to be honest we want it to work on electricity...

I actually have the broken plastic brackets. :(

Sorry, it's a 2003 Corona 475 caravan. Thanks for your replies. It's not actually self supporting. If you look at the bottom right of the picture you notice four holes where a plastic bracket was. There is a bracket that requires replacing on the opposite wall as well. I've contacted Eldis but...
