Hi all I am currently sitting in a caravan in Galloway, in winds that can be described as force 9 of the Beaufort scale. It has been blowing this level for the last 36 hrs. On the first night, the awning collapsed as it was erected on the windward side of the caravan. We took the opportunity to move to a different pitch,…
Replaced my old battery recently, fitted new battery and volt meter in the caravan shows 11.5 v, had none of these issues before battery was changed. Battery has full charge, van is hooked up to electric main as would be on site, and still only 11.5 v, volts drop when I switch lights on, so my thinking was that the on…
I bought a brand new swift challenger(my first ever caravan) last May and put it in storage over winter thinking the solar panel would maintain the battery charge. But when I visited it last week there was no power so the alarm and control panel (or anything else) didn’t work. I’ve checked all the fuses/trips etc and they…
My husband and I are (very) new to touring with a caravan but I was struck by how stiff everything is. I need the upper body strength of a gladiator for just about everything: operating the Al-ko hitch lever, the jockey wheel clamp, handbrake, engaging the motor mover, lowering the steadies (although we've purchased a…
Hello All, Recently started caravanning with my young family and have learnt why my father used to get so irrate all those years ago ;) Most recent problem is the battery is not charging even when connected to mains electric. I did leave the battery in and the caravan hooked up all winter without charging with a trickle…
Hi. I'm hoping someone might be able to help. My motor mover has stopped holding the caravan on any slope (eg. The ramp/levelling device) It's not the rollers slipping on the tyre, it's the roller not holding and allowing the caravan to slowly move down the incline. I really don't want to buy a complete new mover when so…
Hi all, last year we ventured into the world of caravanning having camped in tents for years. And while we've coped fairly well with the steep learning curve of owning a caravan one problem seems to haunt me. The water pump! We have a Truma Ultraflow inlet and when we brought the caravan 2nd hand we inherited a Whale E1642…

The bathroom cabinet mirrored door has fallen off the unit and smashed. The hinge was a bit dodgy and was on my list to repair. Now it is on the list to replace! The issue I am having is finding a corner unit. I have added a photo so you can see the unit. The added complexity for a generic one is this has the bathroom…
Hi I have an also 3004 tow hitch fixed to my lunar clubman. Unfortunately on my last trip the alko hitch pad wear indicators have broken off I am aware you can purchase these for £1.50 each however I have no idea how to fit them. I spoke to my service garage and they said I don’t need to replace them. Does anyone know if…
