Channel Ferry/ Tunnel booking query - First time with Mazda Bongo
campervan
Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:11:45 -0700 (PDT)
We are planning to take a Mazda Bongo (height 2.09m) on the Dover /
Calais route leaving 29th September coming back round about 20th
October. As we will be coming down from Scotland and being not
certain how long it will take, is it OK not to book a crossing but
wait till we get to Dover?

Good place in the UK to get parts or get work done on an old
motorhome
Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:23:23 -0700 (PDT)
Can anyone recommend a good company that will carry out work on a
motorhome? I am thinking of things like getting a bike rack fitted,
getting a cracked shower tray replaced etc.
Or is it better to do those things at home? If so is there a good
source of parts - like bike racks and shower trays and other things?

Opinions on Citroen C25 as motorhome base
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:48:49 -0700 (PDT)
I've seen many comments - positive ones - on the Fiat Ducato as a base
for a motorhome but none about the Citroen C25. If anyone knows ....
Are they as good as Fiat Ducato-based?
What are their turbo diesel engines like - especially the 2500? Noisy?
Temperamental?
I'm thinking of models between roughly 1990 ...

bath when touring Europe?
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 01:18:24 +0100
We have just enjoyed 3 weeks touring Germany and France. I am trying to
encourage her to go for longer but it would help if she could take a
bath every so often rather than a shower. We predominantly stay on
Stellplatz, Aires or wild camp but will visit campsites as and when
required. Has anybody any suggest ...

Freesat Receiver
Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:42:15 +0100
I purchased a Goodmans GFSAT200H Freesat top box to use in my
campervan. I chose this particular receiver because it operates off
12v but it was faulty and I returned it to Curry's from whom I had
purchased it. I wanted a replacement but they did not have one and
none of their other models would work off 12 v.

Cabin v Habitation Air Con
Fri, 8 Aug 2008 11:39:47 +0100
It seems dealers are now pushing 12v/240V roof mounted air con units
rather than cab air con. The argument is that these units will cool the
whole vehicle even when on the move.
I wonder if anyone has any experience of them and how effective they are
when travelling.

Floor Space for Large Dog
Mon, 4 Aug 2008 10:43:59 +0100
Hi All,
I'm a new arrival on the shores of this newsgroup, and I'd be grateful for
some advice. My wife and I bought a 1989 "Landsleeper" Motorhome last year.
We very much like the design of the layout of the interior as we have a
large German Shepherd dog, and the van has a wide area of floor space behind
