    2. Caravan and Motorhome Accessories & Equipment

      Caravan accessories and equipment have increasingly more sophisticated in recent years, as has the manufacture of the caravans themselves.

      Whilst some caravan equipment is all but essential for a self-sufficient trip - ovens, fridges, gas, motor movers and so on - other caravanning accessories provide home comforts or luxuries that can turn a good caravan holiday into a great one, such as mobile internet, satellite TV, or an awning to increase living space.

    • Maybe this is why the relaxed atmosphere at the Green Frog in Moffat has disappeared under the new ownership, though there's no excuse for the rudeness shown in the reviews complaining about - rudeness and strict rules!  
    • So I'm a bit confused by this. Night 1 a caravan is attacked by a single person. Police attend but owner stays on the CL.   Night 2, a second van was attacked by two people (but actually dragged off he pitch) and then the next morning, all three vans left?    Anything to suggest the other two vans were of a more permanent nature. Did you speak to the owners of the other two vans at all to try and figure out what happened?   What were the police saying.
    • Connected the pigtail to the gas cyclinder, turned on gas - hisss!. Rechecked connection, still leaked. Found that there was a go outdoors a few miles down the road, wnet ther, got new hose, fitted it - then found that the connection would have been OK if I'd noticed that the handwheel on the hose was fouling the aluminium disc on the gas bottle!!
    • Is it tripping the bollard or in the van? If it is the bollard switch everything off and see if it still trips. If it doesn't trip then it may be a low current supply and you are overloading it. Somewhere on the MCB/RCBO in the bollard there should be a figure of the current capacity it may be anything between 6amp and 16amp. If it's only 6amp then you can't run more than one thing at a time. The heater normally draws 8amps so will need to be run on gas.     To look for the current capacity of the post  it will say something like  C10 , B10 or 10A for a 10amp supply  Like this one says B10      
    • A CL near to Breamish CMC.   The owner is as baffled by this series of events and could offer no explanation to us or the police as what could have prompted this action. We moved to another CL in the same area which is located behind their farm (only accessed through the farm) as it seemed less remote than the ‘field down the road from the farm’ we had just left.   To our surprise the new site owner told me they had a caravan stolen from their front entrance a few weeks back.   It had been placed there for the owner to collect but he was delayed by 24hours. My heart sank a little …that they didn’t think to return the caravan to the relative safety of the rear of their property till the revised collection time.    Which in part is why I floated this thread to see if anyone else has experienced this sort of breakdown in the Cl network.
