How to's

Does your cassette leak when its full? Or when you upturn it to carry to a disposal point?

Van security - Fitting Thule External Locks

There are lots of ways to protect your motorhome from thieves and here I'm just explaining the process of fitting additional security to prevent them getting access via the doors.

We all know that with plastic windows no motorhome will be totally secure but with the following mods breaking in becomes harder so hopefully the thieves will look for an easier target.

Although this article is about a Fiat Ducato similar vulnerabilities exist on most makes of panel van with a sliding door to the side and barn doors to the rear.

The vulnerability is simply that the doors could be opened by brute force on the handle/lock.

Crazy isn't it? Fortunately it's not that difficult to secure your van against this problem.

Van security - Fitting Proplates

There are lots of ways to protect your motorhome from thieves and here I'm just explaining the process of fitting additional security to prevent them getting access via the doors.

We all know that with plastic windows no motorhome will be totally secure but with the following mods breaking in becomes harder so hopefully the thieves will look for an easier target.

Although this article is about a Fiat Ducato similar vulnerabilities exist on most makes of van and unless you have an A-Class your motorhome will have a production van cab at the front of it.

The vulnerability is simply that the area immediately around, and particularly below, a door handle is a weak point and a sharp object can be forced past the door skin allowing that object to find the locking mechanism inside. It's then simple to flip the lever and open the door.

Crazy isn't it? Fortunately it's not that difficult to secure your van against this problem.

Website vs App

I've been asked on numerous occasions whether we have an app? Well I hope this explanation makes some sense in answer to that question.

To be clear this relates to a 'mobile friendly' website compared to a mobile application. The Club Motorhome website is not just a desktop website but it is also 'mobile friendly'. The short videos I've included shows just how app-like the mobile website is.

The major difference between a mobile app and a mobile website is that the mobile website is accessed by the user via the internet (therefore requires being online) and the downloadable application is a separate app installed on the phone/device and can be accessed both online as well as often offline.
