Looking forward to a q&a. One question Dan a lot of people including us thinks about is doing Mods to the caravan whilst under warranty. We know dealer upgrades don't effect warranty but what about electrical of putting screws into panels, water system upgrades etc? Can you shed some light for Bailey caravans. 👍

Why don't you ever go abroad? I'm sure there'd be huge interest in what you have to do as regards ferry, train, foreign road regulations, insurance, breakdown, power and gas etc

Hi Dan. Your comments please about the best type of awning peg for hard standing pitches - screw in v hammer in, lump hammer v impact drill etc.

Q: Now that you've moved over to a twin axle, have you considered E&P full levelling system (or even the compact version) for easier side to side levelling, alko lock insertion and even wheel changing (if needed)?

[davidhowarth]

Hi Dan, could you tell us about the step up to 8' wide towing please. Is it the way to go and have you had any issues, etc. Like motorway services that say for caravans and you can't get a 7' 6" caravan in, let alone and eight foot one. Many thanks Dave.

Q. What are you thoughts on Safefill bottles, the availability of refilling stations and whether you think the initial investment would still be worth it in 2024 to any new caravan and motorhome users?

[HepcatHarley]

Q: When searching for a site do you consider less amenities in order to bring the pitch cost down or do you have a maximum amount you're willing to pay for a pitch at any given site?

Hi Dan,
Great idea on asking questions so here goes.

We have an older Eldiss and would like to upgrade to a lithium leisure battery?
What is the best option for charging?
I have changed the solar controller and now stumped at the charger.
Is there a replant charger or a good fit and forget option.

[EthanDolan]

This isn't really a question, but I figured I would ask anyway, basically I was wondering if in the future if you could do a video about Caravan restoration, and how to go about it. I know it's not content you usually do, but I just figured I would ask. Also maybe you could do another on Caravan storage. Anyway hope you and the family are well, and all the best for March

Cheers, Ethan.

Hi Dan, Re the wall mounted tv. Do you leave it on the wall when travelling or stow it away?
Thanks, D

[rossvjohnson]

I always like these ones when you do them. My questions - would you take part in one of the Bailey big adventures if asked? I’d say you have a higher profile than a lot who go on them!
Also, what were your thoughts on the unrealistic winners in the tow car awards? But if you had the money to go out and buy a new tow car, what would you get?

[derekjacob]

Best thing you’ve purchased for your van and worst

[andytube]

Thats nice Dan. As we have plans to visit UK in 2025 and we have same setup as you now (twin axle, truck width) i would be interested if this new trailer, regarding your past caravan expierience will affect upcoming tours and planning in reference to camp sites and narrow road routes? Best regards from Germany.

[grahampatterson]

Could you cover the topic of disability caravanning and what is available

[joandrews]

Hi Dan. Not a question but a comment. I’m learning loads from your videos so keep them coming. About to pick up our very first van and don’t know whether to be scared or excited!!

[TheVanFam-FamilyCaravann-ijyr]

Hi Dan, interested to know your views on satellite dish installations. Install onto Caravan or have a stand alone system for example. We are travelling to South France this year and want to watch the Olympics whilst there, any particular dish or other options you would recommend, even if it’s not satellite dish option, interested to hear your view on it. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

Dan, Not sure you can say, “Hit me up - down below “ love the channel IanM

[dogcalledwhiskey]

May not be question for this one but a future one with your community giving feedback plus any research with your many contacts regarding going forward and towing caravans with hybrid and electric vehicles. Ie: distance in relation to solo driving (without caravan) apps that would help for recharge including decent break. Know motorway services would be out of the question (possibly at moment) and performance with towing using electric/hybrid.
Enjoy your videos

Hi Dan. Great Chanel, great content. Question. We are thinking of upgrading from our Unicorn Valencia to either a Coachman or Bailey Vigo. One thing putting us off the Bailey is the blind on the infinity window. Have you had any issue with yours ?

[michaelgray]

Hi Dan, looking forward to the Aircon video, we have it already installed in our Swift Sprite Major but will be interested in seeing how it was done 👍

A question I would like answered is. What do you do to stop your Aqua roll freezing if temperatures get too low? Thanks in advance Michael
