That is exactly why our 2 sites in France were strictly for "ADULTS ONLY"!! Strangely enough of all our visitors, over 75% were either current or retired teachers and of the remainder the very vast majority were either parents or grand parents with only less than 2% being either couples who had...

Could you imagine the reaction of the staff if you turned up at a Motorhome & Caravan Club Site in that!!

I don't know about you Dave, but when I checked the MOT history it wasn't showing any mileage on any of the tests which is something that I haven't seen before. These Iveco's are brilliant machines, however they do tend to suffer from the dreaded tin munching monster which can be invisible on...

Actually I believe one of the core issues is condensation caused in part by the void between the Cellotex sheeting and the inside of the vans roof. The OP @motorshieve mentions using "spirit" to clean the roof prior to using the amazingly brilliant Stixall, I hope that wasn't white spirit as...

OK so you have bought the Trannie and OK you are now going to start the cleaning up and welding, but then when it is all sound with no more rust to be seen, make absolutely certain that you thoroughly treat all areas with good high quality rust preventing products and by that I don't mean that...

I happened to notice that Aldi has some stonking offers from this Sunday on fishing kit, mainly clothing and knowing how damned good their other sport specific clothing is, if you are into fishing, it might be worth your while taking a butchers at what is on offer. Phil

Hello as well Grant and welcome aboard; Despite the fact that you can weld (I wish I could), I wouldn't go near to the grandest rust buckets on the open road because if you cure all the rust and make it look nice, then as sure as eggs is eggs, it will get pinched!! If you can I would go for a...

The weight saving would also result in significantly better fuel consumption. Phil

But Phill, before you start fitting any of the windows or roof lights make absolutely certain that the external paint is scrupulously clean. Phil

My concern about carrying so much water is with the poor caravan site owners whose sites you might at some time be stopping on. As an ex site owner in France we used to shudder when we watched short stay visitors filling their motorhome on board tanks bearing in mind that we had to pay for the...

That's a humongous amount of water, are you absolutely sure? One thing is for certain and that is I very much doubt you could store 500 ltrs. of water in underslung tanks on any normal van Phil

Good luck Phill

Sean at Barratt tanks is the man to go to. The place not to go to is CAK tanks as their customer service is the absolute pitts! I wanted to buy my tanks from Shaun but as he is so very thorough, he wanted me to take my 'Millie' to his works so he could measure up and decide on the entry...

I am currently running some tests on one of my leisure batteries as it is now 5 years old. The battery is now fully disconnected and using my voltmeter I am doing daily tests so that I can watch for voltage drop and it appears that it is loosing approx. .4 of a volt per...

Phill, as you might recall, my 'Millie' is an 08 Renault Master, but when itcomes to the SCR does it really matter? I know you can beat the prices charged by the company I gave you earlier, but I did arrange with the owner some time ago that if you mention the Motorhome Builder name when...

Well, as has been written on here and elsewhere so many times over, electricity and anything to do with it is a black art that so many of us get totally fudged with! Now Dave (@wildebus) is one of those lucky bods who appears to soak up anything and everything to do with this dreaded subject...

Blimey it's still running in! I was only in an ambulance just the other day, doing a sightly urgent blues and twoes journey in the Fiat version of the very same van as a passenger with the driver going harry flatters at close to 100 mph. The one in question was still on the original engine...

Don't I know it, going in for pre opp for the ticker at Papworth next week followed by heaven knows what on the 20th..... I would say Phill that geting old is a pain in the bloody ass and it comes on soooooooo bloody quickly! Phil

Phill, some months ago I in chat on another post I put up an idea I had some years ago and which I did actually put into practice in one of our French properties, namely the self double glazing of a single glazed window without actually changing the existing piece of glass....... and it worked...
