    Further to previous, I asked my sister in law what she had put on her joining application for C&MC she said "I just put down Camper van " no make or model just Camper van. Phil

    The main reason we joined is for cheaper ferry crossing which is considerably cheaper and the use of their CL network and as mentioned the local rallies though you can join a rally at the other end of the country if you wish to, the rally fees are cheap much cheaper than camp sites and can be...

    Belay the last post my wife has just reminded me that her sister has just in the last 8 weeks joined the Caravan and motorhome club with her Mercedes Vito self build camper van and no such question was apparently asked !! I've just checked the New members site and it's down for maintenance so...

    I suppose because we've been members for 35 years it's possible that the question was never asked I don't know, our membership just continues 🤔. Phil

    Things have changed dramatically over the last year or so with the Caravan and motorhome club, as you say they used to be very choosy as to who could join but younger folk are now getting control of the club. We have been members of the club for 35 years and I have to say that we initially used...

    Do you mean they will not insure you as motor caravan Dave, or are you saying they will not allow you to join the Caravan and motorhome club, if that's what your suggesting this would be incorrect they are even now accepting tents even. There is no designated criteria for what is classed as a...

    A strange pricing scheme for LEDs ...

    Same here, I've had 8 cheap g4 style led main and reading lights for 7 years and not had to replace any of them also strip under locker leds, I changed to the type of leds Dave is using in my previous van 16 years ago and they lasted at least 6 years and were still working when I sold the van...

    Chinese Diesel heaters

    I found this very interesting. Came across this by accident, nothing to do with Craig's links I was looking at welding aluminium utube vids and this was one of the follow on links. Phil

    Chinese Diesel heaters

    Yes I did say that I couldn't say about Lavaner, but unfortunately the experience I had has put me off Ali Express for the foreseeable future, it must be really upsetting for genuine traders using Ali Express but the few are spoiling it for the many and there does not seem to be a controlling...

    Chinese Diesel heaters

    Nothing to do with Lavaner other than they use Ali Express, last year I decided to go for one of these Chinese Android GPS map/radios and went for the Ducato direct fit replacement, the cheapest I could find was on Ali Express can not remember the company now but I ordered one from them and put...

    Buzzer indications

    Very few I think, certainly my Yamaga 900 Diversion didn't, but as I said it had aftermarket security which included a buzzer for the indicators, have to say that I've been to a few bike shows and never been given the sales pitch by any maker about indicators self cancelling. Phil

    Mobile CCTV

    In my experience from years ago ( In the mid 80's) I was the area sales manager for a security company called ATI Industries, these alarms that we sold were very expensive at the time and were only sold on a "We fit it principle". But those in the trade, were well aware that all that was really...

    Chinese Diesel heaters

    I hope so too Nabsim, however most of the problems reported are units not firing up and the doom sayers who prophesise death by freezing if you use the cheap Chinese equivalent to the European. But let's face it when did we last get temperatures below -40 in the UK. Plus the fact that for £78 my...

    Chinese Diesel heaters

    Here is the one that I ought Pudsey but the link is now not available? So had to take a screen shot of the original order, the one I had now seems to have increased in price to £98.89. I've noticed a similar situation on Amazon just lately where you purchase something quite cheap and when...

    Buzzer indications

    Final update the 250 Herald are led indicators ( Had it 5 years and didn't know up until now 😑) so is the wife's 50cc scooter so had to do same as Herald two connected in parallel with o/s & n/s indicators. The Bonniville and Dealim both have filament bulbs so was able to put them across the...

    Buzzer indications

    Well successful venture, had to use two o/s & n/s front indicators inside the head lamp unit, tried the relay didn't work, tried pos relay to neg battery and worked while indicating but still carried on buzzing or rather clicking when indicators were cancelled so went for the two buzzer in...
