Trailers & 'BWSOW's

[Richard A Thackeray]

SWMBO has been up at the caravan, Friday afternoon to (a planned) Sunday dinnertime

But, has come home today, as the toilet's not flushing (& was home when I got in from work)
I wasn't there, so could only suggest things
Nothing apparant, as a circuit breaker, all seemed to be in the 'ON' position

I'm wondering if there's an issue with any switches on the cassette, that won't let it flush if the cassette's not in place/located correctly?
Or could it just be the button on top of the 'cistern', itself??

On mine the pump seizes, either through limescale or through corrosion of the impeller shaft. I have replaced one and the replacement is seizing occasionally (can be freed up if removed and given a tap). I have a spare pump in the 'van in case it fails completely.

Thursday 15th

Allerton Castle Caravan Park
Allerton Mauleverer
East of jct 47/A1 (the A59 junction)

We had a trip to up have a quick look at the toilet again, & collect an empty (6kg) propane bottle), plus take the chance to walk the dog, during which I saw a bit of logging taking place

Saturday 31st

This months edition of Viz (issue 346)
features caravanning (and throughout the relevant strip too)

A nice job, but I doubt many people have (for example) blasting cabinets in their garage
(is it an Anssem trailer?)

I like the addition of sections to help it ride level, but what if he changes his car??

Sunday 8th

Seen by our holiday home, for the week

Beckermonds
North Yorkshire

Very much a ‘farm build’ trailer

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Daughter & chap are after a caravan at the moment
As a ‘starter van’*, they don’t want to pay more than £4000, they’ve seen a (2007) Bailey Pageant for a bit less
It’s nice & light too, & definitely not an issue for their Defender TDCi

We’re away, in the Yorkshire Dales, at the moment, so might go look at it on Sunday?

* Plus, with a 6month old Rottweiler puppy, they don’t want anything too fancy, or smart

Thursday 12th

Ropers
Catterick Bridge
North Yorkshire

We ended up here, so daughter could look at layouts/judge the internal/external sizes

This one looked ideal for one person, & easy to tow/store!!
Damned expensive for the size!

EDIT; Friday 13th, @ 21:23
I even splashed out myself, buying a metal 12N plug!
I have a metal one on my trailer, but the pins aren’t the best, so at £2.50….
(the present plug is the only part of the lighting that wasn’t replaced, when l did it all)

Looks nice good price. Look for damp, damp and more damp!
Also empty the cassette toilet to prevent snaking.

@Jameshow

They’re off to look at it on Sunday, or… one at York
She wants to paint all the ‘wood’ inside, so it’s not worth going for an expensive one

I’ve suggested a damp-meter from ‘Tool-Station’

Not up to us, to say “No!, don’t paint it!”

Our Coachman is the archetypal layout of;
Front lounge converting to 2 singles/double
Side ‘diner’/single/bunks
End bathroom
