Suggest you move to Elsan organic. Goes in top and bottom parts. Excellent. More expensive than pink and blue but works well and acceptable every where. Without the chemical in the flush the loo will smell because the flush is too small. That’s why they sell the spray.

We are off grid all summer and have to mover in to storage, single axle. First is to measure the hole. Allow for the wires as they can be difficult to fit in. Off grid and a mover you need a cat A battery. Expect to pay £150 and get a 3 year guarantee. If you're leaving the battery unattended...

You don't say how old the caravan is. The modern whale pump has a chip control. It needs calibrating. You can look that on the whale website

Having had problems with the 13 pin connector I now use a silicon spray on the casing and in the join between them. Makes fitting and twisting a sinch. Also bought one of those green things that realigns the pins. Since buying it never had to use it unlike before.

Rubber ones have a five year life. Usually says on when they expire, as well as manufacture date. Have you thought about a stainless one.

Unsure of IVan system but know Whale. Suggest you email/phone Whale customer services. They are good. I had dealings last year and got sorted. Sounds to me as though the control panel has gone.

For many years Hymer fitted a gel battery in UK caravans under the bed locker. I would fit a battery box to the floor and use that. If the charger is in the same locker I would ensure there is an air gap somewhere above the battery. Hydrogen is lighter than air and will rise. Should there be a...

Worth doing. I lost the loo overnight when i fused it on arrival, Sunday pm due to frost. Current cassette came with pipe attached. Unhook it pull plug, drain. Easy. They now fit an automatic fuse so those 49 fuses I've got left..........

Had similar on our Coachman, about 15 months old. Manufacturer said impact damage. Dealer said stress but I had to pay. Quotes ranged from £150 to £750. Went for £250. Needed plastic welding and spray. Excellent job. Our was an ABS panel with acrylic coat.

The problem with the R value is it is a broad measure. Figures I saw Friday show a range to 1.1 in SW and NW. Manchester Evening News publishes R value by region daily. (Mayor Andy Burnham asked for it.) Available on their web site. Our world class system will use this to lock down areas.

I know the dark grey on the Rio, had one ourselves. The problem is water based paints are soft. I have used autoglym super resin. On the grey and black plastics, especially the dull sort i use Silky. Available from caravan and boat shops. Rub it on wash it off buff with a dry cloth. Comes up...

Agree with Otherclive. Have a look here http://www.towingcapacity.co.uk/car-make-model/ford/ford-focus/ Also both clubs offer a matching service. Don't forget the nose weight.

Hoping to get out as soon as somewhere opens. I see the DG of Caravan Club has written to Prof Whitty, chief medical officer explaining how the club is basically ready to reopen which distancing etc. When we go it will probably be CL/S and temporary holiday sites to start as they tend to...

Hi Skeggysue. You know you want twin beds. If you have a twin berth caravan make sure the beds are long enough. Wide enough? Are the base cushions ok for sleeping on. Then look at which caravans you like, how does it feel when you sit in it? Then go to dealers as near to you as possible...

You will be in for a shock? The Terracon was a beast of a car but old technology. On reliability alone go for the Santa Fe. Just look at the reliability index. Go for an automatic one, they are better than the dual mass fly wheel manual.
