Hi We have just found and bought the above caravan. She is in very good condition for her age having been well looked after but we have no manuals or paperwork. Ive looked online but information for this model seems scarce. Does anyone have any info please at all? We are first time caravanners, finally upgrading from our old cabanon tent, so any info or help at all would be really appreciated such as; Awning size needed How best to use the fridge/heater - gas? electric? replace? (heater maybe not at all due to age?) There is a leisure battery but this is showing very low charge after being stood for a while so we'll need to replace this but which size battery is best? We have electric hook up but am i right in thinking this doesnt work the interior lights unless a battery is in situ? The caravan has an aerial fitted and the telescopic pole comes down into the interior wardrobe, this has a very slight drip so needs sorting. As we dont need/want a TV should we just take it out altogether to eliminate the problem and if so what do we replace it with to make it waterproof again? Thanks in advance for your time and sorry for all the questions! :) I have done lots of reading online but sometimes this creates more questions than answers them... Kind regards Lorna

Hi, not an expert, as new to this as well, but hope i can help. Hate it when someone is asking for help and no one answers!
we were advised to get a 110 leisure battery. We use our fridge and heating on electric. Our gas has all been checked professionally, but always on ehu, so save the gas for cooking.
Regarding the tv, you can either reseal the aeriel with silicon or you can buy blanking plates (this is a white disc, that covers the hole), would need to be sealed as well. Have seen the blanking plates on ebay, about a tenrner!
i would leave the aeriel on and reseal it. At least you have the option of having a tv if you change you mind. We said we wouldn't bother with a tv, but do take one with us now. Quite nice on cold dark evenings!

If your battery still has some charge I would try recharging it just to see if it takes it,might save u some money

no you need the length in centimeters and then look for one that is closest to that measurement
your battery just needs recharging with a proper charger i.e. smart charger

The OP has not posted since 2015, so I think you could be out of luck.
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
