Hi folks, eg. My brother in law from NZ bought a van last year which is in storage, intending to visit Ireland and the Scottish Highlands this May. He has now resigned himself to the fact that this is

Sei vorsichtig, Witze sind verboten. Becoming autumnal here in NZ. Cheers Max

Hi folks, London was easy to avoid, but now things are going to get a whole lot more complex unless your van is to latest emissions standards. Various different requirements in multiple zones... Great

Hi, I find that a little bit of talcum powder on the rubber window seals stops them sticking. Just apply sparingly with a finger. No fear of rotting the rubber. Cheers Max.

Hi folks, Made my day. 😁 "Can anyone, perhaps those with engineering bent, tell me why they haven't thought of putting a small, bladeless wind turbine behind front grill to make use of the wind create

Bit steep that. Ran out last year in Croatia. Enquired about an exchange cylinder at fuel station. Guy took my cylinder, a couple of fittings from a box, took it outside and filled it up, FULL! Cost a

Hi folks, We have a Ducato PVC motorhome with a Fiamma cycle rack on the rear doors. Normally we carry one e-bike and a lightweight road bike totalling 31kg, well under the 35kg limit. On our last tri

Aaarggh, please not that dreaded imported RV word. Sounds like a quad bike with a potty on the back, never mind a mobile bungalow with a propensity to block the road, site or more likely the driveway.

Hi, I got two from amazon. They were posted from Switzerland. £25/12gb. They last 12 months from activation, or until used up. Expensive to top up, so just use a new one. Use regular BT 3gb/£8pcm in E

Refillable! Talking of Gaz 960s. Although van has underslung tank, I still use a small Gaz cylinder for my Cadac. Back in May we were on Peljasac/Croatia and it was getting low. So went to nearest pet

Short sighted and discriminatory. In short a leisure vessel and leisure vehicle fulfil the same purpose. They only differ in mode of propulsion. Method of "docking" is not dissimilar. Affiliation to a

Aldi did a small one a few years back, with a 12v power adapter. Mind you they are only effectively in dry heat. High humidity and they are useless, bit like our own skin. Max.

> Has anyone found a great cooling fan for use in their van? Hi, Problem with most of them is noise and bulk. In the end, I got a large 15cm computer fan, made a small base out of two "chocolate block

Further to the CCI card, finding that the sites in Slovenia and Croatia are inclined to want passports, and ignore the camping card international. We'll, we finally made it to Dubrovnik, having driven

Depends on what you call a "van". A large proportion seem to be people carriers with a mattress in the back. Seems many contain German students. How on earth they get them certified as self contained,

I've been thinking the same for a while. Perhaps they are now optional extras! Worse still are the silly beggars going all the way round roundabouts with the left indicators going. But then again I'm

Hi folks, Just got around to checking my extending wheel wrench on the van. It has a double sided 17+19mm socket. Doesn't fit the van wheel nuts. They are much larger, so now need a strong high qualit
