In the past I've always avoided these awning leg mounts that are screwed to the van side wall to allow the awning legs to fit into a plastic shoe and allows you to put the awning out when pitched on tarmac/ concrete areas. I have to say that on the continent in Aires I have often seen motorhome...

Well here we are then on holiday in sunny Wales Costa Barry del sol, cheapest diesel and site fees I've ever spent, 😄.Phil

In continuation of a 6 years period as in my gas thread, I decided that maybe it was time to check the brakes after 34 thousand and 6 years of travel. The back brakes were very little worn and other than brushing the brake dust out of the park brake drum and removing and cleaning up the rear...

Seeing as we can not use our van for it's intended purpose other than using the awning feature in the garden 😎👌. I thought that I would give it a going over, Brakes, water system and gas system. Well I've heard it mentioned on more than one site that you should always use sheathed gas pipe, and...

While away in France our pump started cycling and pulsing, never used an accumulator before and never had the pump Pulsate. As the water still flowed well when the shower or sink tap largely full open I left it till we got home. On removing the pump housing from the motor and inspecting the...

We have travelled up from Switzerland over the last week through France, it started in Switzerland as generally cloudy but warm 23-25C over the mountains the sun began to shine at a pleasant 26-27C in the shade of forrest trees whilst stopped for lunch. Then bang over the last few days the...

As my van is approaching 4.5 years old even though it's only done 29 thousand I decided to change the cam belt. I retired from the motor trade back in 2000 so I had never changed this particular type of cam belt, the Fiat time for this is 4hrs. I have to say that a fair amount of trepidation...

While I have great sympathy for families that have suffered family trauma such as young Natasha Laperouse and others who have had similar situations, I can not help but feel that the world is ascending or descending into total dependency on mother government. If I personally had a problem with...

For those that have yet to buy a system. This is the one I used and it has been excellent for 4 years, this is a third of the cost from Sargents. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202571781403 If your interested act quickly because it won't be...
