    I've noticed that all your caravan handbrakes are on , my service guy advised me to leave it off , once the steadies are down , do your brake's not seize up

      I agree never leave my brake on when in storage

      Yes, hopefully we don't have them on long, we will make sure the caravans are moved every couple of weeks so as long as they are not on for more than 4 weeks you should be fine. Unfortunately not all our pitch is level so we have health and safety to deal with.

      Most lithium grease for a grease gun will be fine. 👍

    Hi great videos enjoying the tips. We recently had our cvan serviced and the hitch was regreased like you mentioned. Out of interest does this improve towing feel? As I felt it towed much better after the service.

    • @thecaravanplace
      @thecaravanplace  Год назад

      It can make a bit of difference to towing but not huge, it could be a combination of this and tyre pressure though possibly.

    Hi Mark , did you manage to fix the shower door on the swift 560 , I'm interested in how adjust it as I'm having the same trouble with mine , it was fine last year , this is my 1st outing this year and seems to be sticking, thanks Barry.

    • @thecaravanplace
      @thecaravanplace  Год назад

      I will try to do a video, it's the top screws and then just adjustment till its working OK. Will see what I can do video wise.

  • @nigeljohnston1802

    It seems that you keep the hitches in the upright position on your vans - is this something I should do when not using the van?

    • @thecaravanplace
      @thecaravanplace  Год назад +2

      Doesn't make any difference really, it's just that we have normally moved the caravans so they will be still up. 👍

    • @Andy5c
      @Andy5c Год назад +1

      Review for them are terrible pal and it's a very limited market.... that would be my guess. I looked at getting one for a while but the forums were awash with 'damp' issues from owners

    • @steamdrivenandy6880
      @steamdrivenandy6880 Год назад +1

      There's a whole Basecamp sub culture, where everything in their world is orange, though Swift have toned down the orange on the latest versions. A lot of damp complaints, but a lot of people that adore them too and there are specialist websites with BC focussed aftermarket accessories. Mark's one has one of the factory fit non-standard exterior decal decorations which may not be to everyone's taste. Though given the Coronation next weekend you'd think some Royalist would have grabbed it to promote their attachment. Maybe Mark should offer to tow it through London in the Coronation cortege.

    • @thecaravanplace
      @thecaravanplace  Год назад +1

      It's a bit early in the season for them, they are very much a summer outdoor living caravan, so next month or so and it will be hard to find any about then, that's the theory any way lol

  • @RSPYT
    @RSPYT Год назад +1

    If you push the damper in should it come out by itself? Our one stays in until I pull it out. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    • @thecaravanplace

      Yes it should come out, have done a bit on it on Sunday video of how it should be and how to possibly fix too. 👍

    @Shearers1953 Год назад +1

    I suggest you need to be careful as I'm noticing some good positive videos (e.g. the shower tray fix) BUT the bias appears to be towards quick walk through of vans you have in stock i.e. "sales" and the tip is squashed in at the end? Hopefully this is fair feedback?

    • @thecaravanplace

      Hi Doug, unfortunately we are a business and still need to sell caravans, we will always try to do helpful video's, but if we don't sell caravans we aren't able to do the video's. It's tricky to get the balance. 👍

    Must be the oddest thing for a sales person to do, hide stock so people don't buy it!! 🤭😀 so inconvenient when everyone wants to buy your stock!!!😂
