Re: A quiet fridge?

Definitely go for a compressor fridge - expensive but worth it - mine is like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Waeco-Coolmatic-Premium-Compressor-Cabinet-Refrigerator-CRP-40-40Ltr-/272153195551?hash=item3f5d98341f:g:jEgAAOSwmmxW1mdH - it will easily last a weekend on your leisure battery, especially i...

Re: RIP ALI

A great boxer indeed, although I wasn't a fan of some of his poetry. I wonder what he could have done if he didn't have to have the 3 year break :wink:

Re: Tyres - Fitted and Spare Different

Yes - 215/70 x 15 will fit your spare wheel and will give a diameter very near to your alloys wth 215/65 x 16 tyres.
You can check for other suitable sized tyres here http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html

Re: Tyres - Fitted and Spare Different

No, they are not compatable. Difference in diameter is 4.89% and should be less than 1%. This difference could ruin your viscous coupling.
Spare tyre will need replacing with a 215/70 x 15.
16" wheel should fit in the spare bay.

Re: Defibrilator

Even if you don't need training, where will it be kept and how will everybody know? I think they are excellent machines, but the practicalities of using one on a campsite, with little security, will probably cause problems. It's just not reasonable to expect the holder to remain on site at all times...

Re: Defibrilator

A couple of questions spring to mind :-
Based on the past, how likely is it to be needed?
Will a trained person be on site for 24 hours a day?

Re: vitrifrigo fridge issue

Your symptons also sound like a low battery - what voltage is it reading? My compressor fridge does exactly the same when the battery needs charging.

Re: Poor lady...

I don't like holiday parks because for a lifelong camper both on campsites and in the wilds I think that they are a waste of money. I've just booked 2 x 5 night breaks, at Park Resorts, Martello Beach, on 20th March and 17th April - cost £3.79 per night, including EHU and park facilities - I don't ...

Which part of the country would help - no good recommending Scotland if you want Cornwall.
