Hello, I am not a newbie to caravanning, well over 30 odd years service ! I have always washed my caravan with usually just a splash of washing up liquid in the water. Hosed it off and used 'Silky' cleaner afterwards to give a shine. Occasionally, I have used a black streak cleaner for under the side windows. Never had any…
Hi All, I am new to caravanning so please be gentle :-) We purchased a caravan last year and have been out a couple of times this year. The caravan came with a porch air awning which is great, however, I am looking for a larger awning with an annex. My question is around sizing. The rail on my caravan is noted as being…
Can anyone recommend a mobile gas engineer who would be able to repair my Whale 'Gas' water heater. I live in Birmimingham.
Hi, I'm considering moving our spare wheel from the chassis mounted AL-KO spare wheel carrier into the internal locker under our transverse fixed bed. The advantages I see as easy access, a clean spare wheel, security and a weight saving as I will also remove the spare wheel carrier. We have a 2021 Coachman Laser 575…

Hi Everyone. Had our Coachman Laser 650/4 2008 serviced a week ago, the dreaded damp was located in the rear nearside corner. Everything else is perfect. The readings in places were high 60% ....ouch. I checked for the source & found two small splits in the sealant at the end of the aluminium roof strap covering the roof…
Hello, On my recent trip away, and on the first setup, I discovered I did not have a 230v supply coming into my 2019 caravan. The warden tested his end, and my cable, both ok, so it seems the fault is in the van. My dealer is due to look at it, but he tells me with the Sargent units he can only confirm it is at fault, but…
