Hi Loddy we never had satellite in all our travels in the States and we are tv addicts As for the wingard antenna it works fine in the UK picking up digital tv also when we shipped our A class over in 2005 i just changed the lnb on the dish and picked up SKY no problem on auto tracking so if you...

Hi Gary Job done ,i found what you call an old fashioned mom & pop shop, actually he was local and a concesion trailer gas fitter and made me a high pressure pipe UK lpg bottle to USA regulator .His workshop was in a time warp with stuff everywhere but he knew what i wanted and made the pipe...

Recently i imported our Cedar Creek 5th wheel to the UK and i am in the process of converting it for UK use . We cannot use the refillable lpg bottles in the UK so i will be using propane from a UK bottle. The problem i have is getting a high pressure pipe from the bottle to the USA regulator...

Hi Sean 5th wheel and truck should be on UK soil on the 14th May,waiting for a phone call from the shippers UK agent . First job will be to get the truck inspected and registered before i start on the 5th wheel so i recon it will be a few months before i tackle the parking brake Ian

No doubt there is a way around it ,i have heard one guy was given the type of chock you put between the tires and expand to form a brake (got one of them on board),he was...

Had the toggle break on the brakes once ,I didnt notice until i had a flat battery and melted switch. Seems like this is going to be a mission to solve Ian

Thinking of importing our Cedar Creek back to the UK All of the usual issues can be sorted by myself but this is one i may need to buy parts for. Here in the UK the 5th wheel of this size needs a test certificate of road worthiness (mot) and one of the requirements is that it requires a hand...

Hi David if you are thinking of hiring a car we found booking through a UK site could save you $100's. I use Hertz they also pick you up foc and always book through Hertz UK that way you get an inclusive rate for all insurances etc,much cheaper than booking direct through Hertz USA I book online...
