What if the service engineer has left the caravan with a flat battery, a broken blind, a rear light not working, and a fridge that doesn't work? What if the service engineer only has a mobile number, email address and no business address? SG servicing based in Haverhill Suffolk has done the above and I want my money back! 😡

I am a complete novice at this so please don't think i'm trying to teach a duck to swim, but I watched another video where it explained that you should always drive up the chock not reverse on to it because when you reverse it un-connects the breaks and you should park with breaks working, that's why it says you should drive up not reverse on. WHO IS CORRECT?

Hi Alan, we also suggest driving up the ramp. The chocks are used behind the wheel to stop it rolling back.

A quick question, should you apply your handbrake, always storage and when on a site pitch, or just on a site pitch, and leave it off in storage?.
@caravanguard
@caravanguard 7 ай бұрын
Many caravanners have their handbrake on all the time when in storage and on site. It stops the caravan from moving in the wind when in storage.

Hi Craig, It all depends on the battery and the charging equipment that's connected to the battery. If it's a good-quality lithium battery or a good-quality lead-acid battery with a good solar regulator and charger, it will be fine.

Elddis has a misleading warranty/terrible furnishing colours/and ABS front&back panels that can't be repaired if they crack (these ABS panels are warrantied for 1yr only & replacements cost £4500 each). So all -in -all a missed opportunity to make something worth buying!

Hi I'm new to caravaning and I need a new leisure battery but I'm thinking of have a solar panel fitted soon do I need a normal battery or the one with extra solar charging connections?
@caravanguard
@caravanguard 10 ай бұрын
Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. You just need a normal leisure battery installed in your caravan. When the solar panel is installed, the panel will be fixed to the roof and connected to a solar controller. This controller will then be connected to your leisure battery and control how much power is sent to the battery from the solar panel. Check our video about solar panels here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYiynGSwlMijlZo Hope this helps? Liz

Our caravan insurance policy provides cover for theft and this includes from the storage location listed on the policy schedule provided that all the security items listed on the policy are in place or activated. Hope that helps? Thanks, Liz

Hi guys, i have a 2011 Autotrail Chieftain tag axle mororhome. There's lower side skirts to both sides & rear bumper. When new the colour of all this was a kinda grey colour, but over time one whole side & slightly into the rear quarter of the rear bumper has gone a strange blueygrey colour. I'm wondering if the sun has caused this while it being parked up the same way when not being used this. I'm wodering if you know how to revitalise it all, to get it back to it's original grey colour? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for this useful and practical vid. Placing items low down is a real aid to 'tug free' towing. Without getting to techy, the balance point of the caravan is close to the position of the axle(s). If you place heavy items far away from the axle, those items have a lot of ability to cause movement, by virtue of their weight AND distance from the axle. The other thing of course is that lots of small light items collectively weigh a lot, so I tend to collect small items, place into cardboard boxes and position near the axle for travelling. If you organise well, it takes no time at all to redistribute stuff once on site. :)

Thank you for this. I did a towing course before towing our caravan and this was explained, but there are nuances you've covered, which is useful. I once broke my breakaway cable, it's because I forgot to remove it after putting on the caravan brake, detaching from the towball and driving off. What a numpty - I only did it once - it proved that the breakaway cable does actually break :) :). The other thing I found out recently is to be cautious when moving a caravan using motor movers, especially on sloping ground, as a dealer recently told me they had seen the movers pop off, allowing the caravan to move freely. So I now stand close to the handbrake when using my motor movers. I have checked mine and I suspect they only 'pop off' if they haven't been installed correctly. Mine were installed by a dealer, but they weren't at the requisite distance from the tyre, making it very hard to engage and disengage.
