Greta would be pleased if she saw the fuel consumption of my beloved Scania`s or Volvo`s with 44 tonnes on board. About 9 mpg on a good day with wind behind and downhill etc, etc.

Start work on the Volvo that should exercise the body and the wallet

The HOT spanner, works every time.

IT'S THE WRONG COLOUR IAN !!!!!

There are loads of brackets on amazon. My bracket is a caravan one which is multi directional and detachable,its part number is PB138 it's 27 99. You can also get additional base plates which can be fitted to other parts of the boat, these allow different viewing areas at the press of a spring catch. A couch potato's dream. Paul

Have you considered phenolic plywood or buffalo board as its sometimes branded? We use it for flooring in trailers and wagons in the transport industry. Good in the wet and road salt and wears well in high use conditions. Builders merchants usually carry stocks,if not, plenty on Tinternet thingy. Paul

By heck grendel is that the cost of a charging socket? What are they made of ?

If what iv`e shown so far is not quite what is required. There are two other pages of coils 7 pin, 13 pin some with wires at one or both ends. There are also sockets to fit the plugs into or you can get rubbolite junction boxes if you want wire only connections. The coil diameters can be 2 or 4 inch and they come in 3 or 4 metre lengths. Pm me if you need help. Paul

As promised, somebody arrived home and did this for me https://alltrucktrailerpartsuk.co.uk/501-electrical-coils-ebsabs-coils?page=1 It don`t work for me when I hit it with my lump hammer.

Hi MM, have you considered using an electrical 7 pin coil normally used by commercial vehicle articulated units which connect up to HGV trailers. They are robust and as cheap as chips. They can also be fitted by any local auto electrician and can be viewed at, All truck & trailer parts electrical coil pages. Sorry can`t post a link at the moment until someone comes home that knows how to. Paul.

Have you tried Eurocell the plastics people? They do a large range of interior bathroom cladding panels I`ve had good results and they also do matching edging and sealing products. Paul

Hi PaulMargaret. Just one addition to the information given so far. If your boatyard is Richardsons they do an extra on your booking form which is "undercover parking." If your concerned about security it only costs a fiver for the week and the car is locked away each night, hope this helps, enjoy your holiday. Paul

If your looking in the second hand market, The caravan centre at Blaenavon have loads of used parts and may be able to help.The Caravan and motorhome club have a list of caravan breakers in a Pdf. Also, O`learys and Magnum caravan spares have loads of new spare parts which come from the caravan and motorhome manufacturers end of production lines. Always heed the safety warnings that have been mentioned above. Hope this helps. Paul

You will become a social outcast, or a billy no mates. That`s what I found out when when I asked a similar question last year. My suggestion of bringing a widebeam narrowboat to the broads was met with much sucking of teeth. oh hum

These be the toilets with the waft of embassy, park drive, woodbine and capstan full strength would they be?

There`s an Alpha 32 in budget and half a dozen broom 30`s on apollo duck.

Have a look at Richardsons boat sales. They have some horizon 35`s for sale, not the newest or latest design, but good sized bathtubs and plenty of room. Good luck with the purchase. Paul

It may be wise to watch some of the Admiral`s adventures on youtube he hires diamond 35`s.It might give some internal views to help. Paul

A boaty theme, Towpath deposit ! thats put my foot in it

The Caravan Club are open from 4th july and are taking bookings. All the Norfolk and suffolk sites will be open, so would expect the Broads to be full as well. You have been warned !

Oops, sorry to lower the tone but has anyone come across the village of T_ _ tt on the Isle of Orkney.

Has crystal been renamed sensation, it looks similar?

Could this be the start of a DIY empire? B&Q be worried! Paul

Hi Mark, if your after the red tubing look at the TTC trailer parts catalog, they do rolls of black red or yellow air brake pipe in different sizes. Its available through any local truck parts supplier and truckers never pay over the odds. Paul

Sooner get beat by Cas than what`s happening now. Love watching big Liam Watts anyway. Paul
