Whilst returning some stuff to our 2 year old Abbey Spectrum after our recent holiday (van kept on secure site) it started to rain. To our surprise water started to run in to one of the top boxes at the back. Closer inspection revealed that the roof seal between the roof panel and the back panel...

And remember to have a euro coin with you for the trolley. In these big supermarkets it can take 10 minutes to find somewhere to change a note. Theo

Just back from a couple of weeks in Holland. One thing to watch out for when in the western part is the use of "sleeping policemen" on main roads. They are used on some of the main N roads where the speed limit is 50 KM. There are small notices indicating "drempels" but if hit them at 50 (30...

Any one been to Slovenia with the van? Looking for information on sites, places to go etc. Also on the roads coming from Austria. Any information most welcome. Theo

Julian We have stayed at the dockside. To get to the area on the left you leave the port. BUT make sure you take the first sliproad off otherwise you are on the motorway. Down to the roundabout and virtually turn back on yourself. The area is actually for departures. In the morning you stay to...

John Nothing in Holland is far. The main problem will be the traffic. If you are arriving at the Hook of Holland first thing in the morning and going north or east of Rotterdam park up and have breakfast or something. (Do it at the port) Up to about 9.30 the traffic in the west is murder. After...

Ian I had the same problem on my Toyota. If you are a member of the caravan club go to their site and print off a copy of the technical doc. It has excellent wiring diagrams. I fixed the problem in a few minutes. (on my back mind to run the new earth in)Theo

I have a spectrum 520 which is a little younger but the water system is a nightmare. The system should work from both. If you are able to pump the water in to your inboard tank using the outside pump you can eliminate the pump it self. If the pump is running when you switch to the outside pump...

A twin will normally always balance. You need to check the nose weight at the towball level

Commited to a Powrtouch moter mover during the Manchester show. The only question open is should it be fitted to the front or the back axle of my Spectrum twin. If on the front the jockey wheel would need to go down with less chance to dig in and if on the back the jockey wheel goes up. The only...

Denis The earth for all your electrics driven of the car battery is on the car it self. The fact that the break cable is acting as a return suggest that you have a fault in the cabling on the caravan. If you have not blown any fuses on the car it is likely to be one of the return wires. Have a...
