This might be a daft question, but do I need a special “Motorhome” mixer tap, or will any monobloc household kitchen tap do the job?

When we changed motorhome last summer the gas locker in the new one had room for 13kg gas bottles whereas the old one could only fit the 6kg size. I carried on with my supplies of 6kg bottles but now they are running low I want to start using the bigger 13kg size. We live in West Lothian and I...

I’ve just bought an Avtex TV. The model is a 249DSFVP-v2 and I have been trying to connect it to the internet using the hotspot on my IPhone XS Max without success. When I go to the Wi-Fi connection screen on the TV, it is not finding my phone as an option to select. It is finding other local...

I went to empty my grey water tank for the first time since changing vehicle but nothing happened. I assumed I had been driving around with the drain open so I turned it to the other position assuming this was now in the closed position. After a night away in the van I went to open the drain...

I have two 90AH leisure batteries but don't have solar yet, and after much deliberation I have made the decision to get a flexible panel (because of space restrictions on the roof) with an MPPT controller. I'm thinking of a minimum panel size of 120W, but hopefully larger, and a 20W controller...

I picked up our new Motorhome a few days ago. The problem is, it keeps giving me loud audio warnings that the speed limit is 48kmh, or 62kmh or 82kmh, etc. It is driving us mad and most of the time the limits are wrong. Does anyone know how to turn this function off? I have looked through the...

Excuse my ignorance and I’m sorry if this is a stupid question. We changed our van yesterday and the new one has a satellite dish and two tv points. I managed to fit our old Avtex tv to the wall mount, but when I tried to plug in the aerial lead I noticed the connection is different to a...

We love our current Motorhome and the space and freedom it gives us, but our girls aren’t kids anymore and they definitely don’t want to come on Motorhome holidays with their parents anymore! Reluctantly we have decided to downsize to something a bit smaller. We have found the replacement we...

We are going to buy a second hand Motorhome and it comes with two 90ah Varta batteries, but no solar panel. I’m told it’s not an option to transfer our solar from our old Motorhome. There is only roof space for one panel on the new van and the dealer said the maximum wattage would be 150W...

I was wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea of how much a full respray would cost on an 8 meter Motorhome ?

I have been getting our Motorhome ready for a very brief second trip out since lockdown. The last time we used it was for a few days last August. While cleaning the shower tray this afternoon I found it isn’t draining. I have tried a flexible brush which is like a tiny brush on the end of a...

Now we are both double vaccinated I am hoping to take my wife away for a nice meal at a good restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary in July. I’m posting on both the Wild Camping and Motorhomes forums looking for suggestions of restaurants or pubs that do good food and offer the...

I recently took our Motorhome out for the first time in almost 18 months, apart from a couple of trips to the garage for mot, servicing, and some routine repairs. We drove from Scotland down to Bury and back, and my fuel costs were much higher than normal. This is a trip we would normally do...

Can any of our more knowledgeable members please help me with advice about changing our leisure batteries? Our last pair of lead acid batteries came with the motorhome when we bought it 6 years ago, and although they have lasted really well, they now need replacing. In normal times pre-Covid we...

For anyone interested, I saw the message below on MotorhomingFrance. NO MORE FRENCH SPEEDING FINES One of the effects of Brexit means that from 1st January, 2021, the UK will no longer exchange driver details for offences such as speeding in France. UK drivers were the most flashed foreign...

I have two brand new REMItop Vista 400x400mm rooflights for sale for £100 each. They are brand new in their boxes but I was able to use the flyscreens so they are not included. Everything else is included as dispatched by the manufacturer. Collection from Linlithgow, West Lothian, or if anyone...

We are currently in Portugal and I thought I had plenty of gas to see me through until I get back to the UK around the end of August. However, I went to change a gas bottle last night and no matter how many times I try, the connector will not screw in properly to the new bottle. I tried other...

I have a problem with the central locking for the cab on a 2006 Fiat Ducato. Normally when I press the button on the key fob, both cab doors would lock. What started as an intermittent fault has now become permanent. Now when I press the fob, the lock on the drivers door sets, I can see the...

Someone on here or Motorhomer recently mentioned a site called Motorhoming France, and I saw the information below in an email newsletter from them and thought some of you might find it off interest. FRENCH ROADS IN JUNE June sees a slight increase in traffic on the roads in France with 6...
