I bought a couple of these really cheap ones from EBay and surprisingly they do work. You have to buy an SD card as well but for under £10 they are better than nothing! Just search on "dash cam" and list low price forst, then scroll down until you get to about £8. They are not really HD and...

My OH, despite careful briefing beforehand on how to indicate distance, cannot stop herself, as the MH or trailer starts to get close, raising both hands to her mouth with anxiety.. She also finds it difficult to stand somewhere where she can see the mirrors, so I will be able to see her...

If a trailer doesn't suit you, it doesn't suit you. Lack of storage space, having to handle heavy skids to unload, clattery to tow when empty, something else for the wife to tell you how to do when you are reversing, etc etc ......

Well more or less. I take a car with abroad on a trailer because its handy if we are pitched up on a site for a while - but we abandon it (on its trailer, usually on a site with the owner's agreement) while we take the motorhome touring on its own. Nothing wrong with an A Frame if you are only...

Are we talking starter battery or leisure battery here? For starter batteries I would consider a Bosch S5 (or Varta Silver, said to be identical) becuase they are guaranteed for five years and the new technology they have should give good preformance and durability. Choosing the best value...

Individual LEDs aren't suitable for 12v power either, which is why they are mounted within strips as sets of three or four in series with a resister to limit the current flow. Simply removing the mains tranformer from an LED lighting unit will not necessarily leave you with something that runs...

Well done all concerned!

I've always thought of the Nightstop Scheme as barking up the wrong tree anyway. I know that Graham (MHP) likes to think that everywhere a MH stops for the night automatically becomes subject to the 1960 Act and operates as a camping site but I don't - and neither does Fylde Borough Council...

Sounds like you will need to get a re-paint to cure that. The van is now 10 years old so you cannot expect the suppling dealer to repair it for free I suppose. Hopefully they are aluminium skirts rather than steel ones, otherwise you might be facing a more serious corrosion problem. Worth...

Good work Mr MHP. So it looks like the two supermarkets where you need to be careful are Morrisons and Waitrose, where third party companies may try to fine you for using multiple parking bays. Always ask at Customer services if you are OK parking in a MH as you go in and if they say yes, you...

So until you know that someone has been prosecuted for using an A frame you have decided to assume there is no offence? Not unreasonable in that our laws, especially the laws on trailers, are complex and attempting to prosecute would create a lot of work for a policeman who has better things to...

I'm a bit confused about the nature of the parking restrictions at Asda - were there signs announcing what these were? I can;t remeber taking our MH to Asda except for fuel and I've never noticed any signs restricting MHs. Am I missing something?

You can buy spray cans of Label Remover, a solvent product which should remove the glue residue, if not also the stains. It can be bought on line from CPC at http://cpc.farnell.com/
