I'm having an interesting time looking up all the information that I can find about axle loadings :roll: etc. OK, these relate to the VW Amarok, but it's still interesting when look at data from other vehicles. I've come across the VW handbook for body conversion firms, with all the information you ...

We were questioning types of fridge, as our only experience of fridges is a compressor one in a boat. It uses quite a lot of juice, so needs the engine running for a long period every couple of days or so. If you have big solar panels, a generator, or running 240 volt charger plugged in, then you sh...

Still out looking for our first camper. Getting lots of ideas from everyone we visit and we've made quite a few decisions on what not to buy, and quite a few where the jury's still out. What about fridges? 3-way fridges seem to be the norm, and unless you have a tiny gas locker, gas consumption seem...

Same for me. Posts have disappeared from the last few days.
We're still stuck in British Summer Time too.

Thanks Madmountain. I'm going round a mixture of new Demountable dealers, secondhand sellers and forum members, getting an idea of the merits of different makes and layouts of campers. All in this country so far, but maybe a trip to Germany would be useful. I've seen Apollo, Northstar, Tischer and R...

We quite liked the Northstar that we looked at with the L-shaped seating, but I guess that can cause one-sidedness. Some of the French campers that we've looked at online have all the seating on one side and all the cupboards - fridge etc. on the other which must be dreadfully one sided.

Looking to buy our first camper and learning lots from reading through various threads. It's clear that weight is an issue and I can see that airbag springs are pretty much a necessity and replating may also be a good idea. We're coming across a huge variety of camper layouts. Some have some obvious...

We have a boat, and has been mentioned earlier in the thread, the condensation problem is a least as bad as in a camper. The real worry is the condensation in all the areas that you can't see or get to like behind cupboard panels, round the water tank etc. In our experience, shutting the sleeping ar...
