Morning. Although not new to towing, I am new to towing a caravan with an Alko Hitch. Just bought a 2008 Swift Challenger. First tow it has become apparent that when pulling away from a roundabout ot traffic lights, there is a ‘lag’ from the caravan whilst I presume the hitch fully extends out, followed by a ‘thud’ as it…
Are there any members out there who own one of the models of the Swift Elegance range? I am getting conflicting advice regarding the various ways of dealing with the led exterior lights and especially the indicator lights. From my own experience, to make the indicator lights work in a satisfactory way has required the…
Because Swift caravans have LED road lights, my Ssangyong Korando will not operate these caravans road lights properly so can any member suggest a suitable tow car that does not require a Sargent VLM unit to be fitted to these caravans in order to operate the caravans road lights correctly - all Swift say is hey have no…
I have a 2017 Hymer Nova caravan which uses a Comet VIP Plus 12 volt external water pump. Two have failed and I am considering buying a different brand. Although small in size to allow it to immerse into an Aqua Roll, the Comet claims to pump 20 litres a minute at 1.1 bar. The alternatives such as Whale seem to be less…
Finally our new Hymer Nova GL590 arrived and we collected it from Travelworld in Telford on Friday. Being about 3 hours from home in Hampshire, we're staying at the excellent CC affiliate site Stanmore Hall in Bridgnorth for a long weekend rundown. We've been caravanning since 2006 and have had 2 brand new Baileys before…
Anyone else having issues getting any reliable news out of Elddis at the moment? We've had a new Buccaneer on order since mid December 2020. Delivery date has ranged from April to July but eventually promised several months ago a build date this week (May 28th). Been chasing dealer lots and now told date was delayed…

Hi, we've been caravanners and CAMC members for about 10 years, but this is my first post here. We have a 2002 Sterling Europa. It's generally in very good condition for it's age, but has an annoying issue with the plumbing that's slowly getting worse and I can't seem to resolve. The problem we have is that water is…
Just back from two weeks in Wales during which time we had a torrential rain storm. The following morning I found a small pool of water in one of the upper side lockers and also noticed water dripping from the top of the side window, between the window and the blinds. My guess is that the sealant has failed under the seal…
Hi, first a disclaimer, I don't have a caravan but do have a motorhome but think my query is common to both and hopefully very simple. Bathroom tap is Reich Karma with pull out shower hose. Problem is no water from tap unless I turn kitchen tap on first so pretty sure problem is the micro switch. I have 'shorted ' wires so…
