All you Garmin lovers, did you know that the US company - which
specializes inĀ GPSĀ technology not only for road use but also aviation, marine, sportĀ activities as well as wearable technology - has been hacked resulting in data breaches and it going off line for about five days? https://www.reviewgeek.com/48805/garmins-recent-outage-revealed-gaping-holes-in-its-security-and-communication/ Tim

Re: Hi All Can members please tell me what they put in their cassettes . I was advised by the list to put bio tablets from lidl but they dont sell them anymore Than kyou for your help.Lenvee
Steve Pyke
Hi Ā We tried bio washing tablets a while ago in a hot summer but now use OneChem concentrated which only needs 20ml and claims to be bio friendly, although they also do a probiotic version now. A litre lasts ages and we very occasionally add a second dose after a couple of days if it's hot but usually empty the cassette after three days max as we very rarely use site loos. I buy two bottles for about Ā£18 from a well known online store. We found the Thetford products more expensive and smellier. We have a Dometic cassette loo without a separate flush water tank.

I might try that as my old ToMTom Truck (700?) is no longer supported and with the European maps loaded it locks up if you ever go off route. Iāve recently disconnected it and reverted to Garmin NuviCam (which doesnāt accept vehicle size) so I need to ākeep alertā as others keep telling me! Martin

For now (Covid times) I have downloaded only all the separate maps for the UK. Took about 20 minutes using only 4g data connection. Tim

I've been using Lidl Formil liquid, can't say I'm over impressed with it. Put a couple of capfulls in after emptying then need to put another 2 in after a couple of days or so. Andy ClarkeĀ

Re: was Waste disposal now Wild Camping/Aires
Sandytrax
āIt seems to be a more common in the UK, litter etc is something you see far less of in Europeā Thereās lots of litter in Greece! Litter along most roads and at beauty spots, stunning views, lots of litter of all kinds. Used toilet paper, condoms, and other delights. The better the view, the better place for fly tipping!! I doubt itās caused by motorhomers!Ā I was wondering why and thought that maybe the Keep Britain Tidy campaign had a positive effect. Maybe it needs reviving. Happy travels! Brian

On another list someone was saying that we need to stop using the term āwild campingā as it gives the wrong impression and includes everyone with tents and without facilities.Ā

Re: Sat Navs
Brian Reay
I like the Garmins.Ā
We have one of the 'Camper' models in the Motorhome- you can pop in the vehicle size etc and it avoids low bridges, narrow roads etc. It isn't perfect, like all SatNavs it has 'quirks' but we find it better than the TomTom we used before.Ā Ā We also have a similar, simpler, model in the Smart Car we tow.Ā One major attraction over the TomTom is the update procedure. Both have the option of sticking your Wifi details into the units and you just press a few buttons and leave it to do the update. Not only is it FAR quicker than the TomTom (even with very fast Internet, our TomToms took AGES to update and I dreaded doing it). The Garmins do it quickly and without any stress.Ā Ā Both of ours came with 'life time' updates (several years in real terms I suspect). They aren't the cheapest- I think the Camper version was several hundred pounds but a mapĀ update for our main car (a Mitsubsishi) cost Ā£100+ so that puts the overall cost in perspective. Brian

Re: Waste disposal
Brian Reay
Unfortunately, there are people, including motorhomers, who have no respect for others or the environment (and I'm not a tree hugger).Ā It seems to be a more common in the UK, litter etc is something you see far less of in Europe (or the USA).Ā I can't help thinking it is partly why there is so much opposition to the introduction of 'Aires' in the UK and people who 'wild camp', even if they are responsible.Ā I see there has beenĀ surge inĀ 'wild camping' (more with tents) recently due toĀ recent events and the police are clamping down due to litter, open fires, etc.Ā This won't doĀ the hopes of introducing Aires etc any favours.
Several areas (mainly near the coast) near me (I'm in North Kent) have had restrictions imposed due to people in motorhomes emptying waste etc into road drains or onto the road. This has caused even us problems as I would like to use the motorhome as a 'base' while fishing in the evening and the restrictions apply from 6 or 7 pm.Ā We always use sites- we like our 'comforts' but I would like to see Aires in the UK so we could, at least, have the option of over nighting on longer trips etc.Ā Brian

Suggest you try google translate. Take a photo of each page of the instructions with your phone then just go into the camera part of google translate and pick a picture at a time. I did it with the ADAC stuff and it works good.

Old style Truma Dump valve
Bennett Family
When you turn on a tap in my sonās 1996 Hymer B544, a very small trickle comes from the tap an water seems to be running out via the dump valve (I think). It had an on/off switch and a yellow press button. Any idea what position they should be in. The English Instruction brochure shows the more modern pull up unit, whereas the German one shows the correct one but I donāt read German.
If the unit fails does it default to emptying? Any clues would be appreciated. Photos attached. Martin Martin Bennett
