    Great idea with the facebook selling page Mark. It’s just shocking how many scammers there are on Facebook these days.

    Interesting! We suffered all sorts of noises on our tow hitch including some quite alarming knocking noises. In the end it was all sorted by removing and cleaning the main two pressure pads with brake cleaner fluid and spraying more of the same onto the actual tow ball. After that it was silence all the way. Amazing how such an apparently serious problem can be so easily fixed.

    Mate, we'll be over to Great Haywood towards end August. We passed your new site nr Penkridge on way through last month. We are going to try to pop in and see what you've got available. Hopefully see you soon. Be good to finally meet you. At the very least, I'll have a hitch cover off you. Take care. Grant.

    Great video again Mark. You're bang right about those "O" rings being a faf, one of mine split so I had to replace it. It took ages. I found the best way was to spray with WD40 and then push it in with a pen top with a similar diameter and ai the same time holding the friction pad almost in place to stop the ring going in too far. Cheers.

    Watched a video on a American caravan (Brand - Living vehicle ) with a price tag of 800,000 US Dollars ! fit and finish was outstanding.Built to last but very heavy.

    Great video. Just one small thing. Never use Vaseline on an O-ring, it will deteriorate the rubber.

    Hmm very interesting. Thank you. I guess it's the economy.
    Big advocate of all the WD40 range including the Silicon ! 😊

    Watch you all the time enjoy content. My daughter who lives up north went to buy a Bailey from a dealer it weighs 1400 kg. She has a new transit people carrier and he refused to sell her it saying it’s not suitable 🤷‍♂️

      Not sure why they would say, maybe a check with ford to check on the towing weights.

    • @thecaravanplace
      @thecaravanplace  Před 9 měsíci +1

      I think it's a small bit that keeps it held up. I will have to see if I can sort a video or get the info.

    Surly it’s dangerous to use the microwave with the hobs working

      If you only use the caravan once or twice a year I would agree, but get the use and you can't beat value for money.
