He also does a unit at £100 less if you can find space inside the vehicle to mount it.

Re: Dormobile project on ebay.

All Dormobiles should have a Maidstone registration. This one is Taunton? Has it had it's reg robbed at some time? Mick, not too sure if that is correct. My Dormy carries a Stirling registration. While DVLA can't provide a copy of the first log book I do have a copy of the continuation book date st...

Re: Calor stove recommissioning

In the UK, Butane cyl. fittings are completely opposite to Propane cyl. fittings. But as each regulator will ...

Re: Calor stove recommissioning

You will certainly need to renew the regulator which attaches to the gas bottle with one of the correct type for your bottles. In the UK these are cheap and easily got from most camping/caravan suppliers shops. IIRC Caravan club guidance is to replace these every 10yrs anyway. The brass valve should...

Re: Servo fitting

It's a bit funny how when you are used to non servo brakes you wonder what all the fuss is about. Once you have a servo fitted you wonder how you ever made it stop before !

Re: Newbie from sutherland

Do I hear carrots being crunched in the back-ground? Probably, Dad last went back (not sure when) with his older brother and stopped off in the Dunbeath museum. Lady said it's 4.30 and we will close in 30 minutes. Then she heard Dad and Uncle Don talking about and naming people in photos on display...

Re: Newbie from sutherland

I'm on a croft above Bonar Bridge. Missed you in 95 when we took Dormy to John O'Groats from a camp site at Inverness, very near Culloden (least we forget - it's not just Max Boyce and the Welsh you know !). Busy telling SWMBO's mother how we would have had to go by the end of the Firth if it wasn'...

Re: Tent for a Dormobile

Reminds me of the 9x9 used on the back of the FFR when I was in the TA (Oh happy days !). But much too big and heavy for holidays ! A toilet tent is all we take at weekends to save a ...
