We are just approaching our first winter in a Swift Select 184. We have a Truma dual energy water heater, but what we only realised last week for the first time was that the space heating is gas only. We had been expecting to be able to keep using the van during cold weather if we were using an electric hookup pitch, and…

I own a 2017 Bailey Autograph II 75-4. Some of the overhead locker doors are warping in the top corners and I wondered if anyone else had experienced and/or remedied the problem. Obviously it’s out of warranty now. I’ve spoken to my dealer who referred me to Bailey, who referred me to the dealer. I’ve also contacted…
Not sure if this has been asked before. Has anybody Converted their Motorhome from diesel to battery? If so, how much did it cost? Who carried out the work. Asking, because we'll not have our diesels forever.
I have searched, without success, for more detail on UK speed limits. We have a motorhome over 3050kg so from the governmnet website I can see that we can do 30 in a 30, 50mph on single carriageways with national speed limit, 60mph on a dual carraigeway and 70 on motorways. My issue is on single carraige ways with 40 and…
It seems that compressor fridges are becoming more popular these days. Consideration is being given to a bespoke PVC that would incorporate a largish compressor fridge/freezer and a Combi diesel heater. This would do away with the requirement for large gas cylinders or tanks. However, a small canister/cylinder type gas hob…
Ionly bought my motorhome a few months ago so this is my 1st winter. I know i have to "winterize" it to avoid frost damage but I also want to keep it plugged in on drive and use the heater to keep the inside above 7 deg by using the Truma control panel. Thing is - do i still need to drain of all the water and will the…
Hi folks, I'm looking to have the heat exchanger on my roof mounted Dometic 2200 air conditioning unit serviced. I'v tried the local service centres (central belt) listed on Dometic's website, but no-one will touch it - and I'm finding it impossible to get a response from Dometic. Can anyone help me please? Thanks, Luke
We need a major damp repair to our motorhome and would like to hear of any recommendations for workshops in North Yorkshire (preferably near Thirsk). Two possibilities we've found are Caravanman at Brompton-on-Swale (near Richmond) and Caramed at Northallerton; does anyone by any chance have experience of either of these,…
