Unless the OP returns we have no idea. However the OP refers to the rear leg and that looks to be a side one.

And what’s worse - apparently there was not a single arrest or fine!
Yet the organiser of a protest against the NHS 1% pay rise has been fined £10,000 by police, and another arrested and fined £200.
Where would the outnumbered police start arresting without a riot?

@Easy T Thanks for that - very informative and good news.
The chap broadcasts most days. Usually he gives a synopsis in the first 5 mins or so although his videos are around 25 to 30 mins and the synopsis is usually enough. He reports on many of the medical research publications and makes easy listening

No one has ever said that any of the vaccines are going to be 100% proof of catching Covid. It would be interesting to know how many of the 12400 Israelis who tested positive were hospitalized and how many of them died.
And incidentally - I have had no regrets that I have had both my shots.
The findings of a study of data provided by Israel and carried out by a Norwich Medical School is very positive. The first 15 mins (at lest) of this analysis is worth watching

Presently Cyprus is in the red list for travel meaning quarantine on return. Not sure about Belgium in that regard but they were also hopeful of opening up in May.

Do we know what this is?
Our two dose card we all get at time of jab?
A £30 each piece of paper from GP?

Cyprus hasn't waited for EU we are welcome there and I think Portugal too will welcome us, maybe will prompt Spain to hurry up.
We are welcome a week after having had both doses of vaccine, gained a certificate and the UK government allows us to travel abroad current gov prediction 17th May. If I wished to achieve that it would not be possible until mid May

I do pay not for a TV licence so will not be able to watch this programme but I would be interested to hear if Horizon gave any time to those who believe the reaction to the virus has been overblown. Just asking!!

I had a static on a residential site many years ago. The steady legs were not used on the sited van at all. Supported on breeze blocks the same as the axle tube.
-
In really nice condition £3,000 might be possible but that one looks pretty poor. Looking at the overall condition I suspect that it might have stood a while and need money spending on it before being able to tow it away. If it were mine I would be offering it for a £50 donation to a charity if somebody wanted a project.

In my experience there are two different isolator keys. Find an image online of the one that you have and I will look for an image of the other.

We have free standing furniture in our Pemberton, it’s one of the reasons we bought it, far more comfortable than any fixed seating although there’s less storage (under the fixed seating) and it takes up more room. As there’s just the two of us using ours both of those aren’t a consideration for us.
But to answer easypeasy, some friend of ours did this with their brand new static and said it was indeed easy peasy😉
Some static owners are reluctant to do it because it is said to devalue the static when you come to sell it. I don’t know how true that is🤷♀️
When I bought a two bedroom static for my wife and daughter when I was away much of the time at college I bought the residential version that came with a 3 piece cottage suite and large coffee table and large two door storage unit in a corner of the room. There was a 4 seat kitchen dining area that did have storage under and would have made up into a double bed. The holiday version as opposed to the residential version had built in furniture ad, I think, less insulation.

I had it set at 240 and had it cooking for half hour. Surely that enough ?
It would probably take 20 mins to reach 240c. When did you put Pizza in and where abouts? Near the top?
-
Ours is all in gas mark settings. I suspect that Pizza would be about gas mark 4 (180 C). I find that I normally knock it up a mark to 5 (190). Our oven looks the same a yours. I also add about 30 to 50% to cooking times. The ovens that I had in vans before 2005 were better than later ones.

But no stipulation to have a bottled gas on board decal !
I did not think there was a stipulation that one must be on a caravan either unless a commercial vehicle.
7 minutes ago, Silversurf said:The DVLA reason for these changes, which have changed several times themselves over the last few years, is that it can be recognised as a motor caravan by the emergency services among other things, how that makes any difference is beyond most folk 🤷♂️
The police know whether to prosecute for speeding or not
8 minutes ago, Silversurf said:The same could be said of day vans and conversions not re-registered that they should have the logos, awning rail etc. due to many day vans etc .being kitted out exactly the same.
changes should be registered but probably the class will remain the same

I am surprised to read that the government require motor caravan graphics to be added when converting a van.
As far as I am aware they also require it to be a high top and to have an awning fitted.

because of my tow car weight is not exactly a concern I just want to be able to do a 180 turn on the spot almost to switch direction in my garden
You no doubt have a specific reason for want to turn it. My caravan comes in forwards and goes out backwards. I would not want anybody turning a twin axle on my bitumen macadam driveway. It was properly constructed by a good firm 25 years ago but it would do it no good at all.

Blue 2 year life, magenta 5 years?
Yep I think it is 2 or 5 years Griff
10 hours ago, Easy T said:Morco Boilersrecommend that to winterise the system is drained down and anti freeze strength checked. Those of us with Alde heating in tourers know that there are two types of antifeeze. Ones with a 2 year life for anti corrosion value and ones with 7 years.
'to winterise the system is drained down and anti freeze strength checked' That reads badly! I mean the water system drained down not the heating system.

anyone put rear windows into a panel van? just to make it look less like a pokey on tour
i have bought a 2019 citroen dispatch and want to install windows into the 2 sliding doors
any rules or regulations i should know about ?
i believe to put rear seats in requires a certificate from the seat manufacturer
anything like this for windows ?
Just that you have to notify changes

How do you think the ctek will perform if 2x 120ah batteries are connected to it? Will it just take twice as long to achieve each stage or will the smart features be lost 🤔

I use their frodgham site and it's very good but not cheap.
I think the one just off the a55 is called the owl.
I suspect that £550 for outside storage is about par for the course.

That's rather like me complaining insurers ask me to lock my bike when I leave it.
Not really your insurance could specify a chain around front wheel. a chain around back wheel or both as options.
On my insurance I choose to use alarm, don't choose to use tracker, choose to use Al-Ko hub lock, don't choose to use a hitch lock as my arthritic hands find this awkward. A neighbour chose to use a hitch lock and not a wheel lock

When I bought my last two new caravans it was specified in the contract that the dealer carried out a damp check in my presence so that I could verify the readings prior to acceptance

Are they not getting the upgrade as agreed in 2018 in their three year paydeal on 1st April 2001? I have heard no mention to the contrary
