Tony Jones Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Only just read this thread, which means I've read it all at one go, starting with the slightly tongue-in-cheek remarks about all that print spent on "cleaning your MH." Maybe that's why I notice the irony - ie that everyone DOES want to write a lot of stuff on the subject after all! :-D :-D Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundance kid Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I use Fenwicks caravan cleaner and rinse of with Booby Dazzler. The naff name is enough to put you off buying it. A bit like Peter Paint Pads, to those who can remember them , but it does give a good finish and the pads worked pretty well too.Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handyman Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Globetrotter - 2008-02-04 2:38 PM Off topic I know, but I recently DID adopt a Greyhound!! :-D good stuff. This is our second one. We got one 5 years ago from the rspca when he was 8.........so he did well. The most heart breaking thing i have ever had to do was taking him to the vets :-( 4 weeks later and we now have another white greyhound, 3 years old, x irish racer. He's a really nice dog. Won his first race, then got worse and worse (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crag Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Being a newbie the article was of interest to me. I may have looked back afterwards and thought it was common sense, but then maybe I could have gone and scoured my windows. The whole of any magazine will never suit everbody all the time, for example, until I've gained confidence in my Kontiki, found out about some of the things that can go wrong and how to put them right, I am not too interested in reading about touring abroad. I haven't had my van long so I'm not too interested in reading reviews on new vehicles. So for me that's quite a number of pages of every motorhome magazine I am in no urgency to read at this present time.When I went up to see the motorhome before I purchased it, I found one of the tyres had some serious cracks in the walls. If it hadn't been for the magazines and these forums I may not have checked the tyre walls, even though I know to check the tread of the tyre. All the other tyres were fine and looked new, but again if it wasn't for the magazines and what you guys and gals post, I have kept my eye on them. And a few weeks ago I found another tyre's wall was cracking, so have now replaced that too.I've had a problem with my freshwater system and by scanning the forums I think I have just about sorted it out.I think there is a good mixture in the mags for both newbies and the more experienced motorhomers, but even then I wouldn't expect them to suit everybody each month. And the good thing about these forums is you can post what you want to know about, and someone will reply to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 But which is worse guys, a four page article on how to clean your motorhome or a multi paged discussion thread on here about a four page article on how to clean your motorhome? 8-) D.

crag Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 If I don't learn anything from what I read next month then I will agree. Maybe I need to buy "Advanced Motorhoming for Beginners" Magazine (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better of three choices maybe? I would have thought it would be better to have a proper technical article of some kind..... *-) There are many pages of the MMM that I don't read as they do not interest me. Nevertheless I still consider the magazine to be very well balanced and able to provide items of interest for all categories and abilities of motor caravanners - except 'non site' and 'aire' type campers that is! I glanced though rather than read the full article on cleaning as it seemed a bit simplistic for my taste but I don't doubt that many people, especially relative newcomers to our sport, would find it informative and it may well have reached a wider audience than a technical article? I don't really know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred grant Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i is trying to be balanced and unbiased, in a cornish sort of way, me ansums, but how can our tracker make so much comment on an article he as never read (by is own ammission). Me an denzil discussed it down the pub and us cum up with the conclusuion that tracker probably lives in a house without bath nor shower, so tis simply a case of not knowing what being clean and well polished really is. farcelafred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several ways to respond to insults and unprovoked personal attacks. I could launch a return attack, but as I have never actually met Fred, that would not be appropriate. I could pass comment on Fred's grammar, his spelling, his style of writing or the content of many of his postings. But I won't - because we are all free to post our views in our own style - as long as they are not insulting or deliberately offensive. When have I ever insulted you Fred? What makes you think it is funny or clever to have a go at me? So Fred, you may wish to consider that an unreserved apology would be appropriate?

But then again if he has actually read and inwardly digested the contents of the said four page article he ought to be well qualified. Would you trust him with yours?
