Wow.... what were you doing to it?

Mine is not as bad as that, I have the front chest of drawers out, so I can get to the area of the locker the motor mover electrics are located, and a couple of cupboard doors off, as I am replacing the hinges for stainless steel piano ones.

We have a new Powrtouch auto mover that I am about to fit. We had a result, Suz found someone selling a brand new one, that was supposed to be fitted to their dads caravan, but he died before they did it, and they sold the caravan without it. We got it for £500, never fitted.

We currently have an old manual Rhyno one, but this new one will make life a lot easier with where our van is parked.

Are all those cables running up the wall?

A lot of people bundle 240 volt cables with speaker and aerial cables etc, and wonder why they have a hum lol, when the mains power is on.

When I installed shore power on our boat, the cables are in flexible conduit throughout, well away from other low voltage wiring.
The other reason... the boat manufacturer used mains flex for 12 volt wiring and I didn't want anyone to tap into the mains cable by mistake.
Not a boating requirement to have it in conduit, more a case of good practice.

A real rats nest of cables, I often see cables bundled like that too and have proved mains hum from this type of setup but the installer doesn't believe it.

Zippy is it true that internal structures in caravans actually form structural strength?

Rather you doing that in this heat mate.

Hi Zippy,

I wonder if you could give me some advice?

My caravan, a Bailey Pageant Burgundy, is leaking slightly at the rear end.

I took it to a local repair place, who has quoted me £1700.00 to reseal the rails on the top, new seals around the front windows and remove and reseal the awning rails.

This seems like a lot of money to me, and something that I can't afford to do. How difficult is it to reseal the awning and top rails? What products can you recommend if doing it 'DIY'?

Regards

Alan
