Any suggestions for wild camping spots anywhere in North Wales. Thinking of doing a trip next week.

Nice one guys..

Think my battery has died but not sure! Tried starting the van yesterday Holdsworth 89 1.9 petrol and got a rapid clicking which I presume is the starter motor. Put jump leads onto my spare liesure battery and it started no probs! So charged the main battery all night and it seems to be holding a ch...

Recently went for our first camping trip (in the rain!). Connected the awning (Rpyal Traveller Tunnel) using the pole and clamps. The rains came and basically leaked through the gutter/pole and dripped into the van when the sliding door was open. So, tried the figure of 8 connectors cos we had them ...

Hi,

as far as the MEN goes you won't find anywhere near for camping as it's in Manchester city centre. Depending where you're coming from you could try the Bury area and get the tram into Manchester.

The liesure battery seems to be charged but I'll check it. Have already got a spare if it's knackered. May try running the red wire across from the main battery tray to liesure battery and put a fuse in and see how it goes. Like you say leaving the main battery for lights etc..

Thanks again IJ

Thanks Italianjob, Having looked at the wiring diagram and reading your plain English description (thanks for that) I have no red fused wire for the liesure battery just the grey fused as you said with a 35A fuse (should be 25!). What I do have is two red wires (no fuses) connected to the main batte...

OK, may be a stupid question but how do I switch it to the liesure battery?

I've had my van three weeks now (Holdworth Villa). Just took a look at the liesure battery behind the passenger seat and the wire with fuse attached isn't connected (see pic)! I thought it was working ok cos when I switch the 12v on, on the Zig I'm getting a green light! Am I missing something very ...

Ah thanks, suddenly it all makes sense....

Hi, recently aquired a Holdsworth Villa 3. Trying to get the fridge working off the liesure battery. The dial doesn't seem to make any sense to me!



What's on and what's off? Anyone?

Thanks guys, it's a 2ltr petrol 1986. Nearly 200,000 on the clock and on it's last legs!

Can anyone reccomend somewhere that does engine reconditioning near Leigh, Lancs?

sent you PM Jim.

Just out of interest how much would it cost to have this sort of thing put right on the two rear windows (lets go worst case scenario)?

Hi folks, I recently viewed a bus with a view to buying. It needed a few new panels, whole rear door and slider door skin which for it's age and price were to be expected but the thing that put me off was that it had substantial rot around the bottom of the rear side windows, the back two to the poi...
