    motorway service stations

    I always find it odd that a thief would choose steal a caravan from a motorway service area. They only have one way to go from the services until the next interchange, and they are travelling with a makeshift number plate, whereas the the owner would be travelling solo and faster to catch them.

    Fitting Alko Shock Absorbers

    I had to move my Pwrtouch rollers/motors outwards about 6mm to obtain enough clearance, otherwise no problems, and a much better tow afterwards.

    Caravan Cover. Good/Bad idea?

    NO, NO, NO, that is the easy way to damage a caravan! We have actually USED (not heard of from someone else!) a Protec cover for the past 4 years (plus 2 one the previous caravan) with no problems.

    18v drill @ Netto

    My experience of cheap drills, both Homsbase and Woolworths, with two batteries, is that they barely last a year before they won't raise or lower four steadies without running out of charge. I bit the bullet and bought a Dewalt. You get what you pay for.

    Tyre Pressures

    My 2006 handbook gives ALL Dart single axle pressures as 65psi. you could use the formula as follows, Caravan weight x max tyre pressure / Max tyre load x number of wheels = tyre pressure

    Gas fitting in caravans

    "What is the definition of competent? Is this a trained and certified person or just someone competent enough to do the job safely?" I think if you look at some of the questions asked on these caravan forums you can deduce who is competent or not!

    This really scary!

    Even in the wet, the tyres would have worn away and the rims would make contact with the road and cause sparks.

    Powertouch Mover packed up as we were about to go away...Not ...

    When you consider the actual distance a mover travels during it's 5 year warranty, it shouldn't go wrong.

    Yep, I agree - my Avondale, when new, came with a spare fitted inside, in the floor, brilliant way of carrying it.
