Please you enjoyed the video Amanda. We had a happy time there. It’s a site we would return to. Thanks for watching. Rob

[@barbsdee3831]

Brilliant video thank you Gail and Rob. I can imagine my 2 dogs enjoyed a paddle in Kilnhow Beck 🤣🐾🐾

[@robswiseways5697]

Hi Barbs, Very good site this one, with well positioned pitches 👍 . We remember Kilnhow Beck, it’s where we saw a red squirrel. We also remember a lot of outtakes too 😂. All adds to the holiday fun. Warm regards, Rob & Gail 😀

[@lynetteswinburn5408]

Just found this video, first one of yours. I'm pleased KZbin suggested you, no nonsense reviews that we've been looking for. Thanks from a new subscriber!

[@robswiseways5697]

A warm welcome Lynette and thank you for subscribing to our channel. We enjoy filming our short burst assortment of clips and we try to pack in as much interest and variety as possible. Your comment is much appreciated as it encourages us to continue our little hobby. Kind regards, Rob & Gail 😀

[@robswiseways5697]

Thank you Harry. It’s good to hear such a positive comment. We enjoy making these videos and always have a laugh. All the best, Rob

[@laptopsid]

I was up there last week to and from Workington / Penrith area. Another awesome video Rob, glad you enjoyed it.👍👍

[@robswiseways5697]

Glad you enjoyed our latest escapades Colin. We are always happy to return to the Lake District and have visited both Workington and Penrith in the past. All the best, Rob

[@brettcrook6102]

Another brilliant review Rob, you looked liked you had a great time! Looked nice on the top of Blencathra and loved the stripey cow! Look forward to the next one!!

[@robswiseways5697]

Thanks for the compliment Brett. It was great to be back in the Lake District with its beautiful scenery. It was warm ascending Blencathra but quite chilly along the top. Glad we did it. Apparently the striped cows have a name, see John Norton’s comment. Thanks for watching. Cheers Rob

[@happywanderer7369]

We actually saw you walking along the railway line from Keswick back presumably to the site. We wondered where you were staying, we were at Braithwaite Village. It was nice to see one of our KZbin presenters and say hello! Great video and will give that site a visit in due course

[@robswiseways5697]

Hi Happy Wanderer, I’m glad you commented as I spent the rest of the walk back puzzled 🤔. We should have stopped for a chat so sorry about that. You are the first to recognise me and it caught me out. Thanks very much for commenting. All the best, Rob

[@andrewpaley9914]

Another great non club site in the Lake District. Great video we are visiting the area next week but not expecting the beautiful weather you found. We are going to visit the puzzling place while in Keswick. It will make a change from visiting the pencil museum😀

[@robswiseways5697]

Hi Andrew, We’re always on the look out for sites that are a little bit special offering open spaces and views if possible. We weren’t disappointed at Threlkeld Hall. We did well with our weather too and hope it settles down for you. Glad to hear you’re going to the puzzling place, it’s very entertaining. Thanks for tuning in and commenting. Cheers, Rob

[@petalpower509]

Thank you Both.. We’re in a cottage in Thornthwaite at the moment.. Weather is very very wet.. A site we’re definitely going to book up for 22. Cycle into Keswick on the rail line..

[@robswiseways5697]

Visiting Thornthwaite you are already aware the area is very beautiful despite the weather and you won’t be disappointed with Threlkeld Hall touring site. Quite a few cyclists passed us on the railway trail so proving to be very popular. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Rob

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Rob. This looks a lovely site we are up that way next week. If I recall we pass this site on the way to the Coast. Thanks Phil. :)

[@robswiseways5697]

It’s a great site Phil, perfect for walkers. Hope you have a good time and the weather is kind to you next week. Best regards, Rob

Great video rob and your cold meat dinner looked bloody lovely

Thanks for watching Shaun. We always enjoy our caravan food and yes it was delicious 😋 Take care, Rob

@@robswiseways5697 hi rob I need to pick your brains as you clearly know your way around the electrics on a caravan So my tracker system has a volt reader on it and when I log in on the app it gives me the current voltage of the leisure battery, with the weather turning my solar panel isn’t giving it much charge so today I drove the the storage yard and plugged the car in to give it a boost. I plugged it in and went to turn the control panel on and it just clicked and went back off so I was able to run any lights in the van or anything and wondered if this was normal or if it has a fault it’s a swift challenger 2014 model so doesn’t have swift command I could however put the fridge on but no lights Any help would be great I did video the panel coming on then going off and there was a clicking in the mains box Thank you

[@robswiseways5697]

Hi Shaun, It would have been the habitation relay you could hear clicking. When the relay detects the engine running it switches all internal 12v electrics off and connects the car charging circuit to the leisure battery. As you are aware the car also keeps the fridge running, hence you were able to switch the fridge on. Hope this helps. Cheers Rob

@@robswiseways5697 hello again Sorry to keep asking you questions My solar panel is struggling now winter is coming and I wonder if I change my solar controller to a mppt would it boost the charge to the battery It’s a 40w solar panel Thanks again 👍👍

The striped cows are Belted Galloway

Hello John and thank you for the info. Liquorice allsort cow mystery solved! Cheers for watching. Rob

Brilliant !😄

[@robswiseways5697]

Thank you very much 👍. Brilliant site and holiday 😀. Cheers for watching and for your comment. All the best, Rob & Gail

[@andyn6266]

I’ve just been on their website and it is now £37 per night minimum,to me,that is a lot of money.Having said that,I am still considering going.😮

[@robswiseways5697]

Hi Andy, The Lake District does tend to be a little more on the expensive side. But you would be staying on a fully serviced hardstanding pitch with lovely views and not facing another caravan. We try to balance our site fees throughout the year. Our last holiday was £26.60 / night but our next holiday is a whopping £43 / night on the Cumbrian border. It is lovely at Threlkeld Hall, very peaceful and beautiful 👍. Hope you take the plunge. Take care, Rob & Gail 😀

Great news, thanks again 👍. Cheers Rob & Gail 😀

Hi Rob, my step dad watches your videos and has for years. He purchased a toilet blade kit and also the 4 button board for this and was wondering if you have any photos/help re the wiring on the board? No instructions came with it. Do you remove the manual handle on it for this work? Any help appreciated. 🙏

[@robswiseways5697]

Hi Natasha, The toilet manufacturer Thetford doesn’t actually supply a retro-fit blade kit. They only fit the kit if specified when a toilet is ordered new from the factory. The items your step dad purchased will be classed as spare parts for repair purposes hence the missing wiring. There is no part number for the wiring that I know of. You could try asking a caravan dealer to ask Thetford to supply the wiring harness for the electric blade. One end connects to the motor and the other to the button board. I don’t have any photos but the second video I made when I started KZbin is about the electric blade. I also have a video titled fixing fault on Thetford electric ventilator. Here I show where the wiring connects to the board. It’s a very fiddly job to fit the motor, bracket and gear wheel all at the same time. It may be easier to take the toilet out and turn it upside down, Shouldn’t be any need to remove the handle though. Hope this helps and thank your step dad for watching my videos. All the best. Rob
