I had my Talbot based Pilote gear linkage converted by Derek (Delfin) and it was a great improvement. When Derek took off the old parts we both inspected them and there were some major damage to the o

Before buying my first MH I had a Polar Caravan with wet heating. This caravan was 25 years old and was made in Sweden. The gas heating, made by Primus, worked well and was extremely effective in cold

Have a look at Vanco by Continental. Very nice tyre and quiet. Not necessarily a high mileage tyre but that doesn't usually matter to MH types. Simon Simon Whitehead s.whitehead@...

It sounds like it might be a back pressure problem. I do not know the boiler, but most instant demand boilers require a minimum water pressure to prevent boiling within the heat exchanger. If there is

I have use Cruise Control on petrol cars for years. There the fuel savings can be substantial. I found the most beneficial effect was the lack of tension and resultant tiredness. It changes you drivin

Oil also stiffens as it gets older. Its something to do with the solvents evaporating in heat. If the oil a old it might be a signal to replace it. I know that these days manufacturers tend to suggest

Good, they should fit my 564. Thats what they said to me too. The clearance on the calor collar is only 1 cm so I can imagine that tipping the cylinder slightly would be necessary. At 0.5 kg per litre

Danny, I agree with you about the ease of simply swapping cylinders if one sticks to Calor - and the UK. However, what would you do for an extended trip abroad? Simon Whitehead s.whitehead@...

This is partly why I am still tempted by the TB Turbo cylinders which are 2cm smaller (diameter) than Calor. I reckon I could get them into the Hymer Locker ok. Also the TB turbo cylinders are 13kg. S

Are Gaslow offering a remote filling kit with this setup? Although I don't intend to make holes in my nice new MH, I can see that a remote filling kit that is secured inside the gas locker would mean

This is the start of a very useful page. Just a thought though, Huntingdonshire is a district, not a county anymore. Its currently in Cambridgeshire (unless you live there...). Simon Simon Whitehead s

My Hymer says 2x11kg cylinder but we have fitted 1x13kg and 1x6kg calor. Some people say they can fit 2x13kg but I haven't been able to - yet. If you buy French cylinders how will you refill them in t

We also had Michelins on our old Pilote - until I changed them for Vanco. The result was a much quieter ride. Fortunately I never had occasion to put the stopping distance to the test! We now have a n

Very scary! There is a question begging about paper... Simon Whitehead s.whitehead@...

I have the Truma 6000 C series heater which has the same hot water supply (but 12L not 10). I can confirm that the green light should be lit if it is working OK. I also get a red light if there is a p

The issue with battery charging is not that the charger WONT put out enough current, but that the Gel battery will be damaged if it is charged at too high current. There is a very good note on this fr

I recently finished a skiing trip in my Hymer with an alko chassis - which means I have a double floor and tanks in that heated gap. The issues for me didn't get close to freezing tanks! The real issu

I recently took delivery of a new hymer and was confronted with the same news; that a tracker was needed to satisfy the insurance requirements. We had one fitted as that was the only way of dealing wi

Sorry to raise the continuing saga of refillable tanks yet again! I wonder if anyone out there knows whether you can persuade two 13kg TB Turbo tanks to go into a Hymer B564 (new) gas locker. I have m
