Hello, we will (hopefully) be disembarking in Santander at 17:30 in a week's time :oops: .... does anyone have any advice as to where to park up? We've not done this crossing before so have no idea where we can park up. We have Camper Contact and the POIs from Wildcamping ... but feel a bit...

Sooooo excited, just booked our ferry to Santander for 27th December till 11th January. We normally head for Northern France or Holland, but fancied a change after doing southern France a couple of weeks ago. Feeling quite nervous without our French Aires app on the satnav and where we will be...

We always head off on Boxing Day for about 10-12 days .... usually around the UK, but we did Andorra last year and were a bit disappointed (yes, I know it's a skiing place!!!!!) that there was not much to do/look at and it seemed to be about tax free shopping. There was no celebration on New...

Hi, Is anyone else having problems with leisure batteries in Swift Motorhomes? I purchased a new Rio 325 thirteen months ago and the 80 Ah Yuasa battery, which was never particularly brilliant, has failed. Yuasa have refused to provide a new one under one warranty as, because of it's age...

I have a full set of Hymer curtains that have been sitting around for years! Are they any good to anyone? They are mainly a peachy colour and went with the darkish green upholstery. If I remember rightly, there is a frayed bit on one the bed lining curtains but otherwise fine. Free to a...

Hello, we have somehow acquired a Spanish gas bottle, with a little left in it. There is an adapter with it. Before we put it out for the scrap man we wondered if it is of any use to anyone? We live in Tamworth, but my husband works in Henley in Arden and can take it there for collection too...

Hello, we are just leaving Venice and heading to Lake Garda. I can see there are no POIs in Italy and wondered if anyone knew of any? Many thanks

Hiya, just wanted to say happy new year to every wild camper and especially thank you to whoever posted the POI for the layby above Alnwick Castle ... Sitting here watching the fireworks from the warmth of Hettie the Hymer... Doesn't get much better than this!!:cheers::cheers:

We used to have a Hymer B544 a few years ago and managed to find a proper rectangular washing up bowl that fitted it perfectly. We now have another Hymer and I cannot find anything, anywhere to fit it (it needs to be 10cm deep max). We tried sawing the lip of a normal bowl .... but couldn't...

We've had problems with the electrics on the fridge - first the 12v stopped working, then while trying to fix that the gas ignitor has stopped working too! We're going away for a few days and (leaving things till the last minute ... as usual!) wondered if you can light the fridge externally...

Hiya, come down to Swansea this morning to bring the daughter to uni ... just had a lovely walk along the beach and back to the Hymer for a cup of tea and use the loo ... only nothing works!! The SOG fan is working, gas igniter working and other 12v stuff ok. Neither tap, toilet flush or water...

On our recent trip along the Romantic Road in Bavaria I tried to force a bottle of wine into the freezer without being able to open the fridge door fully and popped off the freezer door completely, including screws! Because the weather was warm and we didn't want to have the fridge open for...

Hello, after trolling many sites looking for advice, it seems all I have to do is "remove the hob, take out the 4 screws inside the fridge and then slide it out" ....... ........ but how the ******* hell do you get the hob off ?? When you remove the hob screws, there doesn't seem enough play...

Just sold a motorhome that had a sureflo pump with a Seagull IV under-the-counter water filter. We've gone back in time and bought an old Hymer that uses (I think) taps with a microswitch. This is a Whale pump in the tank. Is there a filter that works with this sort of set-up other than the...

We have just spent a few days in Cambridge hitting the sales and before we left, quickly checked their tourist site for parking before we went, which said campervans were welcome on the P&Rs, so we went to the Trumpington one, only to find that there are height barriers on the entrance and exit...

My husband's middle aged colleague said yesterday that in his opinion we ought to store our motorhome abroad and then we could just fly out to it and use it like a sort of free hotel and it would save on all the fuel, ferry and nuisance of having to get there .................... he was...

Not bad for a first attempt at a panoramic photo :) We arrived about 5.30 one evening, asked the guy in the booth what time we had to be gone by and he said that's quite a difficult one to answer :confused:, so we spent a nice peaceful night there with several other motorhomes. He gave us a...

Hi, Last weekend our three way fridge (Electrolux RM 64 05 L) was struggling to relight the gas when it clunks through different power sources when parked up. A couple of times the red light came on but sometimes it lit up on first few ignition sparks. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

He is currently up on the roof with caravan cleaner, scourer and wooden wedge and has just hollered down to ask me to get some ideas from you fellow wildcampers as to how to shift BAKED ON, LONG TERM pigeon pooh ... well, that wasn't quite the phrase he used ... but will do on a public forum...
