Thanks
Didnt realise about band G, my Hyundai is a 2.00ltr on a 2005 plate and is band F. I thought the Terranno would be in the G backet. I looked at a teranno before I bought the Hyundai but it was 18months old and the dealer was asking too much so I kept looking. Phil.........
Lets start at the begining. 1. Why would you buy a caravan off a traveller??? 2. a traveller would not sell a nearly new Hobby unless it was dodgy( know what I mean) 3. If you wish to buy a caravan for cash, first of all note the chassis number and check it with C.H.R.I.S. to see if it is legit. 4 as long as the Hobby is 2.3mtr wide the caravan club will insure it for one.

Yes, some small light at the end of the UK's ever deepening tax tunnel! The actual date is for cars registered on or after 23 March 2006 with a CO2 figure > 225, making them G band. Richie
Buying from travellers, there is really no need as there are plenty of companies in the UK now dealing in Hobby's...I would certainly do an HPI check if you are spending big money and also look at the chassis number to determine the age of the van, don't take the sellers word for it...Just this week someone on Ebay tried to sell a hobby claiming it was a 2001 model when in fact I spotted it as 1998 model and it has had to be withdrawn..if you need help with how to work out the year of manufacture then contact me and I will give you a list...There is a Hobby and Fendt section on http://www.caravanning4u.co.uk and its FREE to join Hobbynut
I OWN A NEARLY NEW 8F WIDE GERMAN CARAVAN AND THERE ARE A FEW COMPANIES WHO WILL INSURE IT. THE CAMPING AND CARAVANNING CLUB, THE CARAVAN CLUB AND THE NATIONAL FARMERS UNION IF YOU ARE OVER 25YRS OLD. IF YOU ARE STILL LOOKING FOR A CARAVAN THEN MINE IS UP FOR SALE AND I CAN ASSURE YOU I AM NOT A TRAVELLER. IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY MORE INFO ON IT PLEASE CONTACT ME. SAM
Dont you worry i think you may be right, but now i have another problem!! We do have a commercial vechicle and will be towing with this on some weekend breaks but i know for a FACT thta some sights will not allow you on sites with a hobby and a commercial vechicle as they think you are Traveelers , So what now??? I will join the others who are illegally towing and hope for the best.

I am looking to buy a Hobby right now so if you could send me details on how to see the correct year would be great. my email is [Log in to view email] kind regards John
I am fairly new to hobby's and caravaning but I can tell you different sites have different electric ratings. IE some only have 5amp.7amp.10, amp and the best one is 13 amp, if you were on a site with say 5/7amp and you had the kettle/toaster/microwave/fan heater etc. on then it could trip the leccy when you switch something else on, I think you need to sus that out first, and if its not that then you might have a short on your heater.the best thing to do is put on the electricity and just swith the heater on if it blows thats your problem if it doesnt, then it could just be an overload due to low amperage. Hope this helps..............phil........

Did you contact Ambergate by e-mail? If so, what e-mail address did you use? Their original contact address is bouncing e-mails. Regards. Peter
I see you have been to Skipsea Sands, so one of the Hobby's you have seen was mine..The heater element in the Truma Therme is basically nackered..its probably rusted through..A bit strange really because mine has done exactly the same thing over the Easter weekend..The mains at Skipsea is 16 amp which is exceptional really and the Therme is only 300watts, so it will be the therme thats at fault..The guy you probably spoke to was Big Harry...a beard..dark glasses and looks like Father Xmas..I am just trying to acquire a replacement element but it looks as if its going to have to come from Wandahomes at Knottingley as they are the nearest local agent for Truma Cheers Chris Bennett

Contacted them by telephone spoke to someone called Nigel Donna
Is the Truma Therme the element then??? Donna
It is unlikely that your Truma element is u/s unless you have applied power to it without water in the system. My unit is still running fine after more than six years of very frequent use. Some units are actually plugged into a socket! Check the fuse in the plug. Other units get their supply through a MCB. Check that this hasn't turned off. The element can easily be checked with an electrical meter - check for open circuit. If you are unable to do this, get a male friend to do it for you - most will gladly help out! If you log on to the TRUMA web site you can find a parts diagram that shows you the complete assembly - in bits! I hope this may help you. Kind regards. MD
Cheers Chris
