Brand new caravanners here x 2

Don't know what happened with last post. Pressed a wrong button somewhere 

Is it a modern van with the Alko electronic stability gizmo? It could be that clicking on and off trying to initialize.

Tim, before today when tugging the van I've noticed a discernible 'electronic click' due to the hitch/stabiliser doing its job, particularly on uneven/slippery ground. When you've hooked up the van & Plugged in-as long as the green light is on you're good to go. 

Oh Tim, I'm sorry to say but you've started something in your life now. You do realise that once you've started camping it's a drug that's impossible to give up, once you're hooked that's it!! At least it's a healthy drug though. Healthy for your mind and body, not so great on your wallet!! Enjoy, I'm sure you'll love it. Welcome to the club.

If it's a new towball it may need the paint cleaning off. Have a look here

You may also need an extended neck towball ..

Write your comments here...Thanks, yes I think the most likely thing is that it's a brand new bar with black paint! I will remove it before our next trip

Write your comments here...Yes it looks like we've caught the bug already. We have got 2 x one night trips booked already over the next few weeks!

Hello all. I have recently bought a Ford Transit conversion. Nice conversion but needs some TLC. Never done anything like this before so I am looking forward to my first night away. If I like it, may well invest in something more elaborate. In the meantime, I just need to work out how the fridge works!

Any advice is always welcome and looking forward to learning the simple things, like emptying my toilet and waste water tank. I'm obviously so easily pleased :-)

HI,  Deans61  --  Welcome  to  the  Caravan and  Motorhome  Club!

Sorry  to  be  so  formal  but  we've  just  been  "Rebranded"

today  and  it  does  take  some  getting  used  to   !

If  you  browse  thro'  these  threads  you  will  get  answers

to  questions  you didn't  know  you  had  ==  But  dont  go

overboard  with  getting  bits  and  bobs  before  you  have

discovered if  you  like  the  pastime  and  if  you  have  some

of  the  kit  already  in  your  kitchen  etc  .

The  one  thing  you  Must  Pack  and  Must  Never  Forget

is  ==>  your  Sense  of  Humour  - two  if  can  afford  them
