Re: Chinese Diesel Heaters

A bit hopeful of me , but I asked the seller if it is CE marked and got this reply..... "Dear friend , Thank you for your message ,what is CE Certification ?could you tell us ? wait for your reply , thank you Have anice day! Sherry" I think certain products may be stopped at customs if not marked ?

Re: New Member Questions

I think it depends on how much you get away . We tour a lot and never stay in the same place 2 nights so we never dismount, If you go away for 2 or 3 weeks a year and stay on the same camp site I would get a caravan.

Bonjour Fred
I am very pleased with my Ranger Suntrekker combination . I have the Supercab or Extracab
model which has 2 small seats in the back .I have heard that most trucks are too wide unless you modify the front legs .
