According to our Thetford toilet cassette manual, we need special toilet paper for use with it. We haven't been able to get hold of this. Is it ok to use the normal paper, or will it cause problems?
When we collected our caravan, the dealer explained that it was important to drain all the water out of the system before the winter period. This is to avoid water freezing in the pipes or boiler and causing damage. So we could have booked a trip in the last couple of weeks, and been on a site with our water fully…
We've been preparing for our first trip in the caravan today by testing out the water and heating systems. I didn't switch on the gas, just used the mains hook up to power the boiler, which is a Truma combi. Just a question of how long it normally takes to heat up. I left it on for 15 mins, conscious of not using too much…
Hi, After 20 years of motorhoming from the arctic circle in winter to the med in Summer. Even as many as eight in one Moho. From 7m up to 9m all PHGV, never an issue. We have purchased a Hymer 470 2 berth motorhome. We are going to give it a go, towing it with our 2012 Range Rover 4.4TdV8 in February 2022. But I'm…
Hi Everyone, We are revamping our motorhome, and have decided to change the fridge that is in there to a smaller one. Can anyone advise me on how easy this is to do, or do I need to get some one in to do this. Are 3 way fridges the better ones or a compression fridge. Any help and advise would be appreciated. Thanks
We usually go to sites that have hook up but are being brave and going to a CL with no electric. We have a 100 or 120w solar panel, use diesel for heating, Gas via Gaslow for cooking, hot water and fridge. All light are LED. Two questions: Roughly how many days will our battery last and it says battery charging on site.…
We've just bought a new Swift Basecamp 2 caravan to replace our old Autosleeper Duetto campervan and, partly because I'm not as strong as I was, we opted to have a motor mover fitted. The electrical isolation switch is inside the van which makes it awkward to reach if the van's loaded ready to go with bikes, model…
Bought a new Bailey Phoenix 440 and taking delivery next week. Dealer has no bottles due to national shortage at Calor. I'm a nearly-newbie (used to caravan 15 years ago) so I have no bottle. I have been trying without success to find a bottle......what a strange time we live in! So new caravan and no gas. I am in central…
Evening all, We're very new to the motorhome experience, having only hired one for a long weekend back in November. We think we know what layout we would like, this being the fixed bed at the rear. One such company that does these is Burstner, are there any other makes worth considering? Does anyone have any useful tips…
Hi all New here so please forgive me if I post in error or repeat a prior topic. I am really desperate to buy a caravan but my wife says she would much prefer we rent, to see if it is really our thing. I despise her being so sensible but know she is probably right! I wanted to buy a motor home 20 years ago, she said rent,…
