i have posted earlier about my battery problem and not getting 240v, well heres the update, i managed to get the 240v working by using the hookup lead connected to a different 240v outlet at home, (will check the orginal hookup socket when weather warms up). we had a mobile service engineer booked to check the van and when…
I've recently purchased a van with a 10 amp solar panel on the roof and it seems to be doing its job of keeping the battery topped up. My question is...if I wanted to disconnect the battery for any reason, can I just do it as long as I don't short the neg/pos leads together. If the panel is generating power but it has…
I have seen the previous discussions about batteries and would appreciate some advice. I have a 2019 Bailey Brindisi with a 100w Truma solar panel and the Truma i net system for heating etc. It is fitted with a Numax 105ah deep cycle battery(new in 2019) The van is on a seasonal pitch & for the last 2 years we have been…
Whilst cleaning the caravan yesterday I found a large crack on the rear panel, off side upper corner about 5inchs long. On tinternet last night I spotted a local (Tamworth) mobile caravan body repair company called "Caravan Scratch Fix". Does anyone have any experience of using them. I am going to drill stop the ends of…
When we first used our new Coachman Vip without mains electrics we thought that the battery was draining quite quickly and when we put the caravan back in storage within a few weeks the battery was totally flat. Assuming a faulty battery, I had a new one put in when the caravan was serviced and the dealer tested that…
Hi after a long think we have decided to buy new caravan, the one we have been looking at are Baileys, but I’m a bit concerned as when I’ve checked reviews a lot of people have reported damp with this make. Is it a case of pot luck or do all caravans have damp issues at some point ? As caravan aren’t cheap any suggestions…
Hi all, I was wondering if it's at all possible to run the 240v system in a caravan with portable solar panels and if so what would the cost be? I know very little about solar power other than the one on our van does nothing but keep the battery topped up. We have a Swift Sprite Super Quattro EB. The reason I'm asking is…

We purchased 2016 caravan in July this year from an independent. First time using it during Nov, it took time to get set up and everything transferred in. Looking forward to an evening meal, my wife put the casseroled plus veg from home into the microwave. Switched on and voi·là everything looked fine. Minutes later she…
We currently have a 2019 Elddis Riva 550 Black Edition (Avante). Its our 1st van & having experienced this one we now know what we would like in a 2nd van & are ready to change it. Having visited the NEC show in November we had settled on the Bailey Unicorn Cadiz, but having further researched & read numerous reports…
