Welcome. I popped into deepcar service station Friday and found out that the guy who owns it used to work/do the servicing at Oaktree Motorhomes. Might be worth remembering. I’m going to get my first chassis service with him. Unfortunately have to go to main dealer for gab service still. Jon

Great van, if you get the right spec but...... 1. Ours leaked round the door - dealer couldn’t fix 2. Garage is an odd shape 3. Every time we went out, the bloody bed failed 4. You cannot use the bed and the seating at the same time. One or the other 5. Crap catches on the wardrobe doors...

Done a bit of research this week myself. There is a motorhome show there at the same time. Most sites appear full although you can get a tent pitch - which happens to be the same size as a motorhome pitch, I have gone down the route of joining the MCC and you can just turn up at the rally...

Seriously, avoid trying to overnight in the car park(s) on the sea front. Last time there, spoiled by boy racers rushing between the overly high speed humps with boy racer exhausts. One of the few areas we have moved on from. Jon

We could do more of these electric charging roads if they are banning diesel vehicles 😁 Jon

*****SOLD ***** A couple of years ago I purchased the above oven with the intention of fitting it to my camper, but never got round to it. Cost 559 euro’s never been fitted or used. 485mm wide x 390mm high x 410mm deep Is it of interest to anyone? Quick check of eBay suggests £450+. Open to...

On mine it was because of a faulty oil level sensor. Some vans have the sensor, some don’t! Mine is a 2018 van though. Jon

I assume you mean the oil light with a line underneath signifying low oil. Mine did this, in my case, it was a faulty oil level sensor. Common fault apparently. You need to book it into a Fiat Professional dealer for the work if it is the same fault, because (A) allegedly the sensor is at the...

Battery Got mine out of storage (in a enclosed barn), leisure batteries flat. I think that the radio usb was still proving charge to my iPod that I leave in the van, but a dealer tells me that by turning off the control panel in the van, it turns off the whole electric management system which...

Towbar cum scooter rack (to leave space in the garage for more beer) Jon

We went many years ago. Didn’t wild because we got the £100 for 5 nights red funnel and orchards site deal. Didn’t rate the site, but because we declared a dog, they put you in the far field away from everything. I wish I had explored a deal with the C&CC site, it looked smart. Orchards...

Member numbers Back in 2006 Jann was member 25, they are now 27. Does that mean Admin and Tess are imposters? Therefore who are the real first members. Jon

Memories Many, many years ago there were no poi’s to upload, it was all done manually. I remember printing out the threads for wilding spots in Scotland then working out where they were on a map (yes those printed things). The logo was different back then, I think I still have the file (still...

I've always insured with caravan guard. Never claimed, but never had a problem, I just let the policy roll on each year. It's still cheaper than insuring my old discovery 13 years ago. Jon

Our autocruise was not fitted with nice cupboard locks at the front (presumably to save 50p). After a long time putting up with cupboard doors vibrating, I finally decided on the solution. I bought a small tube of clear silicone sealant/adhesive and squirted some behind the single metal plate...

Having owned the current van (PVC) for 8 years, I have been fed up with the door not closing on first slam (easy answer is open front door or a window) and the door rattling particularly when we are on the move and it's raining. I must stress that nobody should actually try's to replicate...

Zooming in on the iPad, it looks like a continental registration (NL - maybe) Jon

Personally, I love the city. So much history, architecture and the people are great. I might be biased as mum comes from there and we still have relations there. We park on the road my aunt lives on, not what I would call a good area by any means, but never had any trouble or been questioned...
