Hi Gary He did check all the connections. He found the connections for the jacks were loose but not the slides. Paul

Thanks for the replies. I will pass on your comments - if anyone else has any views, please add them. Thanks Paul PS Happy New Year to All.

Yestrday, we put out our slides (we put them in the day before after 5 weeks being out). The weather was freezing but they came in (am) and went out (pm) without problem. This morning - after another freezing night - they would not retract at all. Our mechanic states there is 12V power to the...

Hi Take a look at this - http://www.bridgwatercarnival.org.uk/history.php We LOVE having American friends over - in fact, for every yank we get, we send two "Welsh folks" in return. So, if anyone wants to charter a plane load of American headed our way, we will be eternally grateful  ;D Paul

No, afraid not Tom. This year I had to make do with the photos as Im down with the dreaded "Man Flu" (AKA a cold). For those interested, the Floats are usually driven by a guy sat hidden somewhere toward the front and they have a very small window to see out of - hence all the road marshalls...

Last night saw the Burnham-on-Sea Carnival - http://www.burnham-on-sea.com/news/2009/carnival-review-09-11-09.php Enjoy the photos in the above link and see how close these 100ft long illuminated floats get to the houses/shops down some of our narrow streets - of course, then there were the...

WOW - those are expensive terms. Its nice to see that us Brits finally enjoy something cheaper than you guys. We can get 5GB for ?15 ($22.50) (valid for a month) if we sign up for a rolling 1 month contract (just give one month notice to terminate). Slightly less generous deals are available...

Thats cause they couldnt hear the guy sat at the front playing the piano. ;D ;D ;D Paul

Thanks for replies guys. The actual problem I have is as follows:- All was working OK until I added (and removed) some equipment - plus we went to digital broadcasting at around the same time. I installed a combined digital receiver/recorder and removed my sat receiver. The signal didnt...

Has anyone purchased a Wingman upgrade for their std Winegard Batwing TV aerial ? Product Link Im thinking of getting one as my 2006 Fleetwood Expedition didnt come with an internal TV booster and the signal isnt at its best. Paul

I know this isnt going to help you but I just found a guy in the UK (who owns an RV park) who used to build fibreglass boats and motorhomes. He has all the equipment to produce moulds and finished products for many many RV items. He recently made a mould for a damaged bathroom sink, produced...

I know you meant the above as a joke BUT you are moving to a new Country, moving to a new home AND starting new jobs all with kids in tow and you want the hassle and stress of buying/titling/insuring an RV as well? I think you could be in danger of overdoing things before and not enjoying any...

As your 5 week break will not be repeated for some time, I would seriously think about renting an RV to see how you get on with RVing - or perhaps even just drive the car and stay in motels (there are plenty of decent motels for under $50/night). Your RV will be depreciating while it sits...

It's now midnight and Ive been woken by the sound of water leaking from the heater. Sounds like it is probably a Thermostat problem and not the pressure valve (as it has only just started leaking again). Would you guys think I need a new Thermostat/ECO or Thermal Cutoff? UPDATED...

Hi Tom I read Atwoods troubleshooting guide and thought I had followed things. I have now read http://www.atwoodmobile.com/media/3749/pressure.pdf - which i thought I had done.  ::) After going thru that routine again the leak has stopped and the heater appears to be working on electric. The...
