Thanks guys for all that great advice, I'll be taking it all on board. I have taken a great like to the Bailey Unicorn but still stuck on whether I want a fixed double or not. My better half thinks we should keep our little Lunar for at least another year and to be honest I'm finding it hard to...

Not looking to start an war with this one but I'd love a bit of good advice. Currently I have a 99 Lunar Solar and it's a great little van, for the 2 grand I paid it's a properly great little van. However, despite its many plus points something inside me pines for something younger and maybe a...

Yep thanks, I'm aware that they do hence why I'm getting a gas specialist to fit the BBQ point.

on visual inspection the awning rail looks good and no water seems to be leaking on that side. It will be something I will pay attention too. Ive not used the gas for the heater yet. I only required a blast of heat twice and used the electric blow heater. I'll strip it out someday and give it a...

Well I have now removed the fusible plug and it was showing signs of corrosion at the end. Is there any other way to know if this is what it is? I wouldn't want to buy a replacement for it to happen again. I'm currently trying to isolate the internal leak to see if it is coming from somewhere...

Guys thanks so much for all your help. I had been hoping the 2 leaks were coming from the same source. Anyway I'll get a proper look tomorrow and trace the leak. I will keep you informed.

Hi all, my van is a 1998 Lunar Solar 505 which we took away for the weekend and as usual heated a tank of water for use. However after heating the tank we noticed the water pump kept coming on and off every couple of minutes. Having just sorted out the pressure adjustment for the water pump I...

I currently have an E class 220CDI also and it's great for touring. It pulls well. My previous car was a Volvo S80 albeit the new Volvo model has been substantially improved from what i read but even at that there is no seat more comfortable than a Volvo seat and my S80 would have pulled the...

I have one which is 1999/2000 and we love it. Being newish to caravanning it seems to tick all our boxes. It's 5 berth and has the usual 2 double one bunk set up.

That kind of does answer my question and thank you. So said manufacturer goes to equipment suppliers and so on and assembles the vans how they think they'll sell best. A bit like the Ford/VW thing with the old Galaxy/Sharan I assume.

Lol thankfully no all was well when we got to the site. The site we stayed on allow caravans to be left off peak for £2 per night so we took advantage and stayed 3 weekends and all was good, thankfully.

Having recently bought our first tourer (well my second but only had the first for one summer years ago) and getting away we've fallen in love with the freedom caravaning gives and the ability to take our personal space with us. We love it, the kids love it and having had friends visit while we...

Hello again folks, if admin want to remove this thread please do. I persevered and it seems I didn't have the gas bottle opened far enough. Another novice mistake but I'm getting there :(

Thanks guys, we're heading off here for the bank holiday, so Sunday night and Monday night back home Tuesday. Where I live in Northen Ireland there is a beach not far say about 25 miles away with some lovely sites so we booked in. I reckon stay close to home on the first outing the. If any...
