We tried the fan solution with our furry mate but he, for some reason, doesn't like the fan blowing on him even though it's doing him good. This is also a dog that will go sunbathing on the hottest day of the year then come in the 'van baking hot and wondering why  ..read more

Many thanks, I am looking at going down the portable route. i also never leave my dog unattended, she is like glue to me, I do do worry about excess heat at night. Last year I had a big bag of ice in front of a fan  ..read more

Hi Dave, This is also something we considered but pretty much wrote off due to price. Your main issue will be the fact the decking does not move but the 'van might. The high pressure hoses for air con do not have a lot of flex in them. In the end we went for a moblie unit and I made a plate for a window so I can attach the hose. Can be a tad noisy though. Even then we still never leave our dog in the van unattended just in case we lose power which does happen on a semi frequent occasion I am sure someone posted on here about a air con system for 'vans but you'd have to do a search ..read more

I wonder if anyone has fitted air conditioning, last year got so hot and I am concerned for my little dog. I am a bit strapped for space and also the van is fitted with floats for flooding, (good job this year as it went  up). It's a bit difficult to put the outdoor part on the decking as that stays down so I was wondering if there was smaller type that could be fitted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Dave ..read more

Same here. I did my own close down so I have my fingers crossed everything is ok after the storms. Have ordered my gas check but knowing my site it probably hasn't been done. Hope everyone finds their vans tip top and spring fresh ..read more

Hello and thank you for allowing me to join the Forum. My name is Conrad and we have just bought an older static on a site in Northumberland. We have had tourers and motorhomes in the past but feel like we want to settle for a bit. I'm a Headteacher so envisage the static as a refuge after an interesting week at school . I hope I will find advice on our ideas for a makeover of the static this year ..read more

Hi I am in the process of purchasing the above static from a Park Site on Anglesey. The Van does not have an Owners Manual or any Appliance Manuals. Can anybody help me in the search for these documents. I have tried all over but, to no avail. Many Thanks Mac ..read more
