Dear Cooky Lovers How is it that there is more diesel in the top half of the Sprinter tank than in the bottom half? When I am travelling for a long distance I cover less kilometers from half full to empty than from full to half full! Google Translate: Wie kommt es, dass es mehr Diesel in der oberen...

Hi Peter, I have used a DVR camera for two years now but changed for a better one about four months ago. They are now much cheaper and better than before. There are many to choose from. I got this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-7-Dual-Lens-Dashboard-Dash-Camera-Car-DVR-black-box-video-recorder-GP...

We think of the dangers from people on motorway stops in the south of France and in Spain, but we were driving along a quiet little country road along the Loire (D952) when I saw a couple of men in a lay-by pointing to our van and indicating that we should pull in. We didn't. It was very obvious th...

Hallo JC Freunde, heute morgen um Uhr 7.00 traf uns der Schlag. Unser James Cook Silver Edtion 2003 stand nicht mehr vor unserem Haus. Ab Uhr 7.30 war der JC in der Fahndung und um Uhr 8.00 wurde die Strafanzeige gestellt. Hat leider alles nichts gebracht. Wir fragen uns, wie jemand in einer so ruh...

[quote="kiel"]Hallo, in meinem Fahrzeug hat Westfalia seinerzeit ab Werk einen Dunstabzug eingebaut. Sehr simpel: Unten am Schrank ein einfaches Gitter, darüber einen recht lauten Motor (Ventilator), links im Schrank zum Bad ein Rohr, nach oben, oben einen zusätzlichen Dachlüfter (Dachpilz). M. W. k...

Hi Cooky Lovers, I have been told you could have an extractor fan fitted in the JC but only when ordering a new motorhome from Mercedes/Westfalia. Westfalia do not sell retro-fit extractors. :( I would like to fit an extractor fan in the kitchen under the cupboard that leads to the small roof vent....

Hi Busjo I like what you have done. I have often thought what could I do to make my 'ugly duckling' less ugly. It will never be a swan but I could try! I am thinking more of adding flowing lines or taking inspiration from the paintings by Norval Morrisseau - http://www.norvalmorrisseau.com/ - (like...

Hello Cooky Lovers We recently got a rescued Jack Russell dog and she will come on our Cooky adventures with us. I have made a couple of modifications around the sliding door using light weight plastic board. One piece of plastic covers the gap between the floor and the door. The other piece of pla...

Hi Cooky lovers I bought two LED lights from Ikea which are meant to be fixed to a book shelf. First I wedged them under the roof bed. Then I had a magnetic moment! :o I cut down the plastic clips and stuck magnets on with glue (Araldite epoxy resin) and now they can go anywhere along the metal str...

Hallo an alle bitte haut euch nicht gleich :wink: Wir wollen in London anfangen und dann so nach 2 - 3 Tagen weiter durch Südengland reisen (Stonehenge etc). Danke an ixcebichee für die Links, da stellt sich doch gleich die Frage: Liegt der Platz vom Caravan Club " Crystal Palace" in der LEZ ?? @ s...

Moin zusammen, ich habe jetzt auch Gasdruckfedern verbaut. Es ist so viel besser und leichter das Bett morgens einfach hochfahren zu lassen und abends mal eben wieder abzusenken!! Da ich über dem Bett kein Dachfenster habe, nimmt es mir auch kein Licht. Ich hatte mir direkt neue durchsichtige Dachl...

LED strip light Hello Cooky lovers I love LEDs. I started using then in 2005 but they have improved tremendously. Here you see I have put a strip of LEDs on the edge of the table storage door. I can change the look by opening or closing the door. There is a discreet switch next to the side light. :...
