Replacing tyres
|
| |
Am at the point of replacing the tyres on my Eriba as they are coming up for 7 years old - but look in excellent condition externally of course. Have been looking online at Tyre-shopper.co.uk and have found a pair of Tigar Seguras for £35.50 each - a lot cheaper than my local tyre supplier. I am almost wondering if they are not too cheap - but then again, for a caravan I assume one is not really looking at the usual qualities one might look for for car tyres, like economy or roadholding. Has anyone any experience of Tyre Shopper or Tigra tyres? Are there any snags to going for the cheapest that I haven't thought of?... more »

Going to Venice
|
| |

Any advice?

Al-ko spare wheel holder
|
| |
Having dutifully renewed all three caravan tyres on grounds of
age (It was a shame to see so much unused rubber, but it just
isn't worth the risk) I had to get the spare wheel holder back in
place.
I am about as far from a muscle man as could be, and I ended up
having to use my trolley jack to lift it high enough to secure... more »

Caravan wiring question
|
| |
...
Methinks you have got a little misunderstanding here.
Firstly the 12V supply to the fridge is purely for the interior light. It will work on gas or 240V without 12v . As the fridge cooling draws typically 10A at 12V you would not want it connected to the caravan battery under any circumstances. In that... more »

|

Is there a reason for the Mr Shifta caravan mover not being available
anymore. If anyone knows of an owner who wants to part with one I would
like to buy one. Thanks.
