I got a replacement knob from a caravan breakers in Castleford (Weeland road Nr Rugby ground) or try Hunmanby Caravans at Filey, good cheap source of new and used spares!

Our stalling/idleing problems were caused by the idle switch on the throttle body being full of gunk and not properly ajusted.

Both the securing and ajusting screws are both standard allen type, a quick clean & tweak a la Mr Haynes and she runs like a dream!

Replace ours with a shiny new high top from the very helpful www.timbertechnicians.co.uk

We found the old elevating roof was rotten to bits and definatley not worth repairing.

Had an annoying rythmic squeking on one side caused by backplate fouling on brake drum. Gentle shove back in shape, problem solved!!

Got my "Soft lining carpet" from these guys:

2m wide and £8/linear metre in lots of colours.

Hello! We had exactly the same problem with our leaky, rotten, wonky rather useless roof and replaced it with a fantastic new high top from www.timbertechnicians.co.uk

A replacement fiberglass elevating roof is available, have a search as there have been a few threads on the same topic.

Hello!

Always really enjoyed it at Rosedale Abbey, not the cheapest but loads of space and excellent facilities.

Enjoy!

These guys sell soft lining carpet in various shades. The non-ribbed stuff is easier to work with, no wavy lines to worry about!

Fitted my own which was a doddle, removing the old roof was an absolute "bar-steward". We didnt keep any of the old interior gubbins but it should be possible to do so with slight modification. Give Timbertechs a ring, very helpful and have converted lots of Autohomes elevating roofs. Van ...

We ripped our leaky roof off and had a high top from timer techs. Best addition we made to the camper, even if it does look like an ice cream van!

Taken longer to work out how to post a picture than fit a new roof!

We had a leaky/wonky/rather useless Autohomes elevating roof, which we relaced with a fibreglass hightop from Timbertechs. When we hacked the old roof off and pulled the Ply/polystyrene/aluminium sandwich apart we found must of the wood badly rotten. Expanding foam and flexable roof sealant had been...

They are in pretty good nick and about 80*25cm fixed windows inc rubbers.

Got 2 smoked plastic windows I took out of my Autohomes rigid elevating roof. Fixed windows inc rubbers, can dig 'em out and measure them if you interested.

Mine was rumbling/knocking/binding e.t.c and found it to be a combination of loose castle nut and backplate fouling the drum slightly.

Tightend nut to correct torque and knocked backplate back a bit and shes been rumbling/knocking/binding free since!
