Drained the system today and got 2litres from it. Used a spare trauma intake and a tyre valve from kwikfit. Cost me nothing . Well pleased with the result. £50 saved.
Experience is trumps over this video. You soon learn if you happen to make any one of these errors (and others). All are obvious but brain fade is the main contributor to any mishap. His tips are self evident.
Upgraded my caravan without a mover dealer offered a free mover. I said I don’t need one of those things can I have the cash please. No chance so took the mover. Best piece of kit ever 👍🛬
Hi i use Puriclean at the start and end of season, grey waste pipe i just flash it out with the freshwater😁 the toilet at the end of season i wash it out bleach and leave for sometime then rinse then use disinfectant i do this with all the sinks not had any problems with my system but everybody as their own methods.
I have had this canopy for 2 seasons and am very pleased with it. I have the 400 size with side walls. I use this for touring in Europe during the summer and in the UK if the weather forecast is ok. I always put the side walls up as I feel that the poles along each side add a little rigidity. Also, I don’t need to bring chairs, table, etc towards the centre of the caravan overnight in case of rain blowing in. When it is hot the sides unclip in seconds and are neatly rolled up and laid on the ground. In cooler weather I have a 400 porch awning. This is a pole awning as my wife and I find it lighter to handle (we are both 75). I also use a Dometic electric pump for the air canopy. The only downside of packing away the sun canopy is that the bags supplied by Dometic are very small so we have purchased larger bags to make life easier. We have caravanned for 47 years and we feel that we niw have the perfect set ups.
We have been caravanners for over 30 years and I always said "I dont need a Motor Mover as i have a reverse gear (blah blah blah)". However we have recently purchased a new van and we were offered a mover as part of the deal. My wife (god bless her) told me in no uncertain terms that the mover was a great idea as i am not getting any younger. All i can say is WHY DIDNT I DO THIS YEARS AGO?????
Yep, we’ve arrived at exactly the same conclusion as yourselves; after lugging the Cadac 50 around for the last 2 seasons - with very little use - we’ve just upgraded it and our old 2Cook2Pro jointly to the new 2Cook3Pro, as a one-stop solution. It looks as though Camac/Dometic have listened to their customers as the new features on the 3Pro address a lot of the (albeit minor) issues on the 2Pro. The windshield, coffee pot stand and handles for the griddle plates are all excellent additions! Not taking the Cadac50 will free up a fifth of the valuable space in our motorhome’s garage shelving, with a considerable amount of weight saved, too. Love Cadac’s products which always give great service and are excellent value for money!
2 out of 5 for me, plus one you didn't mention, driving off with the motor mover still engaged (older grit type rollers). Replacement rollers aren't cheap !
When my husband was alive we used to lug our heavy cadac on every trip. When he prematurely died of cancer I got rid of the caravan and beautiful canopy and vango awning but I still have the cadac in the garage. I’m now thinking of getting a 2 berth and starting again. That bbq is fab! Loving your channel ❤ Doris the Dometic!?
Love the watering can ❤ We used to clean off the worst of the muck which is acceptable and not like cleaning and polishing the whole caravan like we’ve seen some do 🤦🏼♀️😂
Hey both - it seems you’re back. I’ve missed your no nonsense video tips hints and experiences. Hope all is well with you both as it appears summer is peeking out from the cloud cover. D
We got a move after years and years of pushing and pulling into the garden and campsits then we got a newer touring caravan and wot better way to move it around I always take all the batteries out and put them in the garage with the motor mover remote 😎
I have 3 awnings for my campervan - 2 side ones - one if with all the family, 1 if alone, and a tailgate awning which my disabled daughter uses to store her wheelchair. However increasingly if I’m on my own - I’m struggling to put them up alone, so am going with the Maypole variation now it’s got see through sides - plus it’s got a 4mm Kador strip that fits my campervan. Love your set up though - just can no longer manage a caravan on my own.
Good video. Lowering jockey wheel was one I never considered before. Few other tips. Check stays/legs are up before moving. I clip remote to drill to remind me. Lanyard on remote and always carry around your neck so its not forgotten. Hold remote so its pointing in same direction as caravan. If you are facing front of caravan have remote top facing your body. Spare battery for remote. I left it on a couple times to find it flat when needing to move van. Apply handbrake and chock wheels before disengaging MM.
Only just seen this, as it popped up on my YT page only today.....I love the motor mover, but just have one concern - our mover, probably only used 20 times, slipped recently on wet grass at a CL and wouldn't move the wheels - the teeth just wouldn't grip the wet tyre. I had to reverse the car and hitch up in the old-fashioned way, but at an awkward angle. I'm always a bit wary, now, of wet weather.
A little Victron MPPT charger with Bluetooth would do the trick. Wouldn’t have a screen but you can see everything on your screen. Another option is a Renogy which is a larger unit but will have a screen. Great videos. Thanks for sharing
We have that canopy and it’s my favourite because it’s so easy to put up and take down. I’ll only use the sides if the weather is likely to be wet. We got caught out one night and woke up to wet chairs which we hadn’t fold up when the sides weren’t fitted, a lesson learned. It’s a great solution without all the hassle of a full awning setup and it’s not too heavy either. We also have a Kampa Rally Air 200 and a Kampa Club Air 390 which don’t get the same amount of use as the canopy.
Hi all i have been towing caravans since i was 19 i'm now in my 60s never had a motor mover till the caravan i have now i have only used i once on site in the past 2 years yes they are good but for me too much faff and not every one has them great vid thanks.
