Do you have the model of bike rack at all? I'm looking at adding one to my pollensa but they don't make it easy to work out which one fits it.
Hi, it's been about 5 years since we owned this model, so my memory is a little vague. I recall the bike rack being a 'Fiamma - CarryBike', because we did order some new trays at some point to be able to carry extra bikes, but I can't remember a specific model number. Sorry! If you give Don Amotts a call (based in Hilton near Derby 01283 732193) they're usually really helpful. Also of course you could contact Autosleeper themselves, who also have been very helpful to us several times. They're in Worcestershire, we actually drove there once to collect a replacement window. Their workshop is so impressive, and the sales counter staff extremely knowledgeable. auto-sleepers.com/ Good luck 🙂 Best regards, Jane at DMH
Coming back to my last comment how big are the bottles stored under the toilet please?
How much fluid do they hold I mean as I want to purchase the right size ones
@@jamesbaldwin7018 Hello again. The housing is for a 'travel size' bottle of toilet blue, which contains 400ml. At the recommended 25ml per cassette recharge, this would provide 16 changes, so an average of 32 days use. There is also space for a 400ml bottle of toilet pink, which isn't used in the cassette, instead it is added to the water flush tank - we do not use toilet pink though, because it can clog internal pipes which are difficult to reach. Instead one can drop the occasional sterilising Milton tablet into the water flush tank. This of course means that you can store two bottles of toilet blue underneath the cassette, meaning you could travel for at least 64 days without needing to buy or store more blue. Hope that helps 🙂 Best wishes, Jane at DMH
@@dmhmotorhomehire7110 yes this all helps really appreciate it thanks
Great videos mate....straightforward and well explained - shame you don't do them anymore!...but thanks for making them - very useful 👍
Thank you Arthur, it's good to know they're still useful for people. We are still in the motorhome hire game, for now at least, so if there is anything not covered inour videos you want help with don't hesitate to ask. Freephone 0800 6444 199. Cheers, Peter and Jane
How do you empty the waste water (grey) on the pollensa?
Hi Chris, I was just looking through our videos because I'm sure it's on one of them, but can't seem to find it. There is usually a tap for emptying the grey water on the off side of the vehicle, just in front of the rear wheel. Take care though not to confuse it with a similar tap you might see that is for draining down the fresh water tank when winterising. Tip: because grey water is free of chemicals and not actually dirty we tend to leave the tap open all the time, unless on site on a hard standing when they usually don't allow it. The reason being when it is closed for long periods of time, stagnant water smells sometimes find their way into the motorhome. Hope that helps, regards, Jane at DMH
Creo que le quedo un poco corta la cama!
Hola, gracias por tu observación. La cama está bien para la mayoría de la gente, sólo que el hombre muy guapo que la muestra mide 190 centímetros de alto. ;-)
The video I needed!
Hi, glad it helped. Best wishes DMH
Thanks for a good video
You're welcome Martin, always happy to help. Happy motorhoming and best wishes from Jane at Derbyshire Motorhome Hire.
You're very welcome James, we like to help whenever we can. Regards, Jane at DMH
I like to use every bit of storage I can and didn't know about the bit under the box for storing chemicals thanks for the video!
When i hold the flame button in position i can see it lighting, but as soon as i let go the flame goes out 😕, the orange auto sparking switch just keeps ticking , any ideas what could be wrong,?
Hi David. This would usually indicate that there is an iterruption to the gas supply. The gas may have run out and you didn't realise (we've all done it), it may be switched off at the bottle, it may be switched off at the main inlet tap, or the fridge could have it's own isolator tap, they are sometimes quite concealed. There could be a kink in the pipe that leads to the bottle or the connection to the bottle might not be tight enough. A good way to identify this is to pour some diluted washing up liquid around the seal, if you see tiny bubbles, there is a leak. If all of those things check out ok, you would be safest to contact an expert. Best wishes, Jane at DMH
@@dmhmotorhomehire7110 thanks, think I need someone to look into it..the gas is on as the cooker burners were on. Possibly fridge has own isolator tap, previous owner only used on electric 12v / 240v hookup.
@@davidkobayashi9344 One of ours had its own isolator tap, it was concealed underneath the fridge you could only see it if you removed the piece of wood that covers the ventilation gap. Worth one last look before you pay someone.
Hi i have no flashing light from my gas button
Would u have idea where it would be?
Thank you! I have a executive and the heating system is a mystery to me! Very informative video.
Glad you liked our video, thanks for letting us know. Regards Jane at DMH :)
Hi my heater was working now it is only blowing cold air any ideas
The two front seats swivel around giving you a 5ft 11" single bed on the drivers side and a 5ft 9" bed on the passenger side.
Hello. Are the numbers of the spinning button the temperature (1 the coldest to 7 the hottest) or the power of the cooling system (1 the chillest and 7 the hardest) ? Thanks in advance
Hi, we haven't owned this one for a few years but to my recollection it's a temperature control and the higher the number the colder the inside of the fridge. Setting at 4 is usually satisfactory to keep food and beer chilled.
Hi our 3way fridge works fine with the gas and electric but does not work with the battery have you any ideas what it is wrong thank you
How long and how wide would you say the over cab bed is??...thanks
Hi, we don't own this model any more but from memory I would estimate it to be 5' x 6'. Also to note it is designed for children or small adults, not because of size but more to do with weight. If a small adult is planning on sleeping up there they need to be aware that the distance from the bed to the roof is about 3 feet max, ie you cannot sit up in bed. Hope that helps! 🙂
Excellent. Thanks you
This is perfect 4me. I've had a 32' Class-A Mtr/Hm, and although I loved it, it comes with a whole slew of issues and limitations This is a shrunken version of a class A; the amenities without the bulk. I would love to find one when I retire in a yr or 2 and move to Italy as an ex-pat. 😊
You'll probably find one quite easily in a couple of years. We anticipate the market being flooded by then, because a lot of people who purchased them because of Covid will realise they're sitting on the drive and not being used will want to sell. Happy travelling! :)
@@dmhmotorhomehire7110 🤞😊🖐
Big Thanx !!!
My Carver P4 flashes 3 times red. Can you tell me what this means? I dont have a manual. Gas for cooking is working. So I dont think its empty. Thank you in advance. Matthias
Mine was working fine but just gone to turn it on now and there's nothing. No click. I've taken the front off and changed the battery but the ignition button came out and now won't go back in properly so I can turn it. Still no ignition 😭
Hi, after removing to change the battery they are very tricky to put back together. The botton will return to its correct place with a lot of perseverence and a little luck, when we do ours we have to keep trying and eventually it just pops into place. Good luck.
Hi, really useful thanks. I have a fridge like this in the motorhome I just bought. What I was wondering was what might be best for when you stop for an hour or two say for a pub lunch or to visit somewhere before stopping overnight. Does it stay cold if you leave in 12v or do you generally have to switch the gas on in the locker and fire up the gas whilst temporarily parked? Cheers, appreciate any pointers. Adrian.
It would be ok for half an hour or so, as long as you don't open the fridge door, but no longer and not if you're storing meat etc.
This is usually a gas starvation issue. However if you are sure there is gas in the bottle, and all the gas taps including isolator taps are switched on, it could be a faulty burner unit. This would require a qualified engineer to resolve. It isn't too expensive and many do an exchange system via post, if you look online they're reasonable easy to find. Gary at Arc Systems knows what he's doing, he's based in outer Nottingham I don't have his details any more though.
Does the 12v switch light up at all?
It usually lights up yellow, when driving. If it does not, it doesn't necessarily mean the fridge isn't cooking on 12v, it could just be that the bulb in the switch has gone. Best way to check is to go for a drive for half an hour or more then feel inside the ice box.
Hi, ours was on the driver's side, slightly underneath towards the back of the vehicle. Here's a link to our Pollensa video which if my memory is correct he covers the grey water outlet in that. czcams.com/video/XV9VtKsdt4w/video.html
Smashing, much appreciated.
Could you tell me where to find the grey water outlet on a 2002 Peugeot Pollensa and what it looks like, I can't find it and the instruction book tells me to empty all water for wintering but doesn't say what it looks like or where it is. Thank you
Hello, you did god video here. I have the same Carver Cascade. But have a problem. When I turn it on burns for about 5 seconds and stops. And the same thing every time. 5 seconds and stops. flame light coming red. But have gas on the bottle. Do you have any ideas for events happening? thanks
Great video. I realise the video is 5 years ago. Thinking of buying a 1999 model but can't find info on length. Can you please advise? Thank you
Hi, sorry for the late reply we have just returned from holidays. Dimensions are as follows: Height 11 feet, Length 22 feet (including unextended bike rack approx 2 feet), Width 9 feet (with wing mirrors out). These are generous dimensions because we provide them for hirers and do not want them taking chances with low bridges / narrow roads etc as they are not usually used to driving a motorhome. Anything else just ask, Jane at DMH 🚛 🙂
Will the 12 volt switch light up, mine does not, not sure if it's working off 12 volt when driving
Hi Fergus, it should light yes, but if it isn't lighting up it doesn't necessarily mean the fridge isn't working, it could just be the bulb. The best way to test the 12v really is to drive it for half an hour or more then feel inside the ice box.
Can you se the flame anywere?
If you open the door and look into the bottom left corner there is a small clear disc that you can see through. Move your head around a little and you should see the flame.
Brilliant video no flaff and daff straight to the point.... Nice one mate 👍
Why would you Dare to use the shower? Nice video though 👌
It would be nice if one could see what position the switch is when going to gas, the switch hidden by your hand!
Did you get your upholstery re covered? If so, can you tell me who did it please? Also how much did you pay?
Hi, we didn't have this one reupholstered. Fortunately the fabric was all in tact and we cleaned it with a carpet extraction machine and some very clever gentle chemicals. In the past we have reupholstered motorhomes ourselves, it takes time and patience but saves hundreds. Minimum quote we've ever had is £2,000.
What an awful way to make a bed up.
Hi, do you mean you don't like the idea of making a bed up in a motorhome / campervan, or do you mean he's doing it wrong?
If you have Captain swivel seats in the front, you can turn these around to extend the length of the single bed layout for tall people.
Hi I have a Dometic model 4401 it want turn with the gas. Hope you can help
Hi Lynette, it's hard to say without seeing it of course, but first don't overlook the obvious things like is there some gas in the bottle, is the bottle fully opened, and is the fridge's isolation tap swithed on? They are sometimes in a cupboard under or near the fridge and sometimes have another one as well sitting alongside all the other isolation taps. Failing that, if the ignitor has stopped ticking, you may find that the fridge has in fact come on, but they are so quiet you wouldn't know. They sometimes take some time to cool down to, so leave it for a few hours then come back to it and have a feel inside the ice box. If none of that works it will be time to call an engineer. Local engineers with Google recommendations will usually be fair with price, and may even advise you over the phone. Good luck with it :)
Hi DMH, after ignition of the gas, the yellow light stops ticking. Should the yellow light stay illuminated? Mine does not stay illuminated. Is my fridge now running on gas?
Hi Peter yes indeed the orange light will go out when the pilot light is lit. The only time the light will come on again is when the pilot goes out for some reason, ie wind has blown it out through the vent and it can't re ignite in the 40 seconds before the auto gas shut of is deployed, or you simply run out of gas.
@@Mr-Tibbs thank you
Thanking you and Jane for your brilliant tour! Just what I needed to see before buying the same tomorrow 😁
when everyone leaves, what a cracking pic, looks bliss
I can't help but smile as he tells you what a comfy bed it is with his legs bent up. It look like beds for hobbits. If he had laid with his legs straight on the double version, I would have believed him, but even then he was part sideways with his legs bent. I would have liked to know the bed lengths in both directions?
Hi, he is 6'2" tall and kept legs bent so as to keep shoes off the upholstery. Bed dimesions are available to view and download in PDF format on our website derbyshire-motorhome-hire.co.uk
Excellent!! Thank you.
GOOD VIDEOS
Bed layout? How about the overcab bed assembly?
Ours was a 2 berth, so you'd have to ask someone with a 4 berth for this information.
what are the main differences between a Symbol and Duetto?
Hi There are significant differences between the Duetto and Symbol, and those differences don’t just relate to the base vehicle (eg. Duetto is rear-wheel drive, Symbol is front-wheel drive) but also to the interior volume and layout. Try the Autosleepers forum for more details.
@@dmhmotorhomehire7110 thank you
So can't really sleep long ways on two singles unless your a midget? Or like having your feet hanging off the side and knees bent up all night?
Lol that's about right my friend. I only use it as a double and that's great plenty of space.
How do I use lights on 12.v mate and what switches to use
Hi the Green is for 240v when you hook up a power cable on a campsite. The Red one is 12v but it will only work when the engine is turned on because it works off the alternator. The orange one is for Gas if you dont have an orange one you will have a push button lighter to light it. Hope this helps.
