I second steveinleo, I actually have to lift my flue cover completely clear of the outlet, not just pulled out to the first stop position.

Bernard I would prefer to discuss any further issues with you about this in private by e-mail exchange if you agree? Could you request one of the moderators to forward your e-mail address to me so that we may discuss further. regards Wombat

Bernard I have a 2007 Coachman Amara 550/5. I can confirm the rear of the front road lights inside the front locker, are covered by a quite large white "dome". I too have just been advised at the 4th anniversary service (at the start of Feb) of a split from the middle of the rain channel...

Tim I too have a Coachman, 4 years old now. At the service a few weeks ago, damp was found in/near/aound the front panel (~50%, v.high, not condensation at that level). The cause was traced to a fine crack extending from the front rain channel to the middle of the front window. Wasn't there...

Hi Nigel We went to Fresh water East in 2008. We travelled from Wolves. Took the M5-M50, then overland via Abergavenny using A road all the way to Pembroke - it took AGES - it looks shorter, and the scenery was great, and on some stretches dual carriageway, but not the most relaxing. I I were...

Thanks for the reples. Lord B, I was expecting to see your name, believing you originate from not too far from there - we too also had excellent weather every time we visited Doldowlod. The last time we visited (May 2010) went we finally got a "front row pitch" looking at the hills and drunk a...

Lamenting the loss of Doldowlod to CC members, so now looking for the replacement "Gem", hoping Gwern Y Bwylch will be the one. If I am travelling from Wolves, what would be my best route, via Welshpool-down cemmaes Road-and then toward Llanbrymair? Or, Craven Arms-Newtown-Llanbrynmair? I...

Just been to get some tins of soup from the van parked on the drive - noticed some bottles of water we had left in the cupboard were frozen solid. Now, just imagine the distater if they had split due to the expansion caused by freezing, and the resulting flood when they thawed out! Go and...

Blinkey I almost went to the hassle and expense of purchasing a pole and external aerial for my flying saucer equipped van this year when we visted North Devon, which had switched to digital, and I was expecting to get no reception. BUT I thought, why not try it out first and see what...

We have a friend who bought the Citroen verison (mitsubishi & citroen & peugoeut make and badge the same vehicle) to tow with, but he traded it in after 6 months. He had repeated problems with the clutch (burning out) and he had problems on some slippy stuff, i.e. car couldn't cope with wet...

Brian i too are looking for a "quiet" site in Brittany as a first timer, and was finding it difficult to locate one whilst searching using google. I have now found this website www.campingfrance.com, it allows you to search based on star rating (amenities provided, so choose 3 or less and it...

Eureka - I've found it! www.campingfrance.com this site allows me to select the star rating (which I think relates to the amenities provided, not the "quality") and the size of the site by the number of pitches. i have already found a couple in western brittany I like the look of. Just...

I would welcome some more suggestions please. I am not having much look trying to find what I want with my interrnet searches. I have the Alan Rogers book, but they are mostly large "commercial" sites. Does France have anything comparable to the Caravan/Camping club? Wombat

Aplogies for anything that might have offended anyone (not that anyone has suggeted they are) but I started off optimistically with the France idea, and then I've started to go off it. Mostly because I can't find a simple site like the CC sites are - i don't want bars, restaurants etsc, and I...
