Just started my caravan adventures and bought an Ace Morning Star 2006 and after some enquires with Westfalia for the Tow Hitch for my new Passat Estate Gte.

The response by Martin Spencer in the current magazine to the letter headed "Electric Shock" completely misses the point. His argument centered on the improvements yet to be made, many of them 5 to 10 years away. The original letter was about a 2019 Tow Car of the year and its inadequacies. The Jaguar IPace is a tow car at…

We renewed the insurance on our Jeep last week. Got a good renewal quote, but as you should, decided to phone up and see if we could get any better. We had a couple of changes to give them, namely my changing from housewife to retired, but also the fact that we had now got a tow ball on new Jeep. After a discussion, we got…
Hello All. We have recently bought a new caravan that is fitted with an Alko ATC system. We were on the dealers change over pitches today (Sunday) and were hitched up and ready to go, but when I connected the electrics, it was obvious that the ATC wasn't working (no led's or noise). We had been on the pitch for two days,…
