    Stupid bloody animal

    Not much you can do really. Dark road and it just appeared out of the shadows. Hit it doing about 40 mph. The front of the MH now has a few cracks in the plastic. Luckily the radiator etc survived. Hopefully I can get the plastic to sit back together and then put a patch on the back to hold it.

    Southwold gutted

    Went to Southwold the other day. Parked in the Harbour by the pub and decided to treat ourselves to a Bacon and Egg bap at the Cafe. Walked down to find it's now a French Bistro playing crappy French music. All that was on offer was cake and coffee. We had a coffee and walked back to the MH...

    Madrid

    Thought we might head south in September down towards Gibraltar. Is it worth going down the middle for a change through Madrid or is it better sticking to the coast. Might be a change of scenery. Thoughts anyone TIA

    £38.60 a night

    Off to Dawlish for a week and looked at breaking up the trip with the new puppy. Don't think she will manage the whole trip all in one go. Had a look at the Caravan Club in Bristol. £38.60 a night for the two of us mid week. They have to be having a laugh.

    CT1

    Is it as good as they say it is. Got some alloy tubing to stick on the roof of MH. Used Sikaflex last time but the weather is a bit iffy so looked for another solution. Got a tube but I don't want to use it if its not as good. I would rather the solar panel stay on the roof. Nothing heavy just a...

    A moan Victron Smart Shunt.

    Got a Victron Smart Controller looking after 360w of solar but needed to know what was happening with the Lithium battery. Its got Bluetooth but its a bit basic so decided to add a Smart Shunt. So all my cables have 8mm ends but the Smart Shunt uses 10mm bolts. 🤬 Nothing is straightforward. Got...

    CL site costs

    Seems like some are now offering toilets and showers along with an increase in price. We are going to Seahouses in January and normally stop at Helmsley on the way up. This has now been closed thanks to some so we looked for a CL for a couple of nights on the way and a night on the way back but...

    New Windscreen day today

    Carthago has a largish stone chip in zone A so not repairable although its not in the line of vision. Its an MOT failure so needs fixing. It happened in April and they ordered a new screen and arranged to get it fitted. They turned up at the end of May to fit it and the fitter got it out and...

    NT Blakeney and Wells Next Sea

    NT car park by the harbour. Local Council trying to dissuade MHs. If you are not in the NT then it's £20 to park a large vehicle. Wells next the sea has a newish car park on the way in with room to park MH on the grass. Height Barrier but wether it is open or closed is political according to CP...

    We got the SQUEEKS

    How difficult is it to remove the rear brake disc and get access to brake shoes. We have disc brakes all round but the handbrake shoes are inside the drum. We have an annoying squeek when the handbrake is on so something needs some copper grease.

    Fixing lightweight solar panels

    The panels with frames are heavy when you need to save weight so I decided to fit some semi flexible ones. Fixing directly to the roof can cause problems especially if you need to remove one. Having an air gap underneath is also beneficial so put my thinking cap on. Photonic Universe sell a nice...

    Starter Motor wiring.

    On very odd occasions i put the ignition key in and turn it and nothing happens. Been stuck a couple of times but then everything is OK. So can I wire a push switch between the solonoid and the battery input on the starter motor and when it won't start just press the button with the ignition on...

    Finally Decided Scotland not France

    We have been trying to decide what to do in April. We have moved the ferry booking to France a number of times and they won't let us move it again. So we sat down and pondered whether we really wanted to go. We need holiday / medical insurance, dog needs AHC, return ferry needs booking, visit to...

    Mini Compressor Freezer

    The freezer we have in the MH is not massive. Its smaller than the one we had in our Laika so been looking at compressor freezers. Is anyone using one. Reading info they come with 12v and also 240v so when travelling the alternator would provide enough power. If we are on a site with EHU it...

    Starter Motor or something else

    Our Carthago is great but the gremlins have moved in. It is Fiat based and the fault only occurs after a long run. Stop the engine and it will not start again. All you can hear is a click from a solonoid. It's just come back from being checked and no fault found. Leave the MH without doing...
