  • Permissible trailer load + experience with trailers with approx. 1t

    Hello, I asked in the Opel Astra-Forum the question about the feasibility/drivingability and experiences with trailers with about 1 t weight, because I (with my Astra as a towing vehicle) so far only pulled smaller trailers up to approx. 0.5 t. The discussion “burned” that these high loads for the Astra would not be allowed at all. Furthermore, the question arose whether the maximum trailer load registered in the vehicle certificate (with my Astra 1.1t braked) on the actual Since some of you are probably more often travelling with big heavy trailers, I would be happy to hear from you. You can follow the discussion so far with the help of the following link. Please also answer in the original topic.Link to the original topic Thank you in advance and nice 1st Advent still.

  • first WW bought and many small questions

    Hello together, we bought the first WW after we were 15 years no more camping. We have a little daughter and wanted her to grow up with camping and not in hotels. We bought a LMC 560k and wanted to ask what things we need as a basic equipment so that we don’t fall on the nose the first time. Another question the Thedford which medium in?

  • Hymer Exsis I 562 or Hobby Siesta T65 HGF

    Hello, We are currently suffering from a luxury problem: we are considering buying a larger motorhome. Max. 7 meters, large garage, fixed bed for us and lifting bed for the little one, no alcove. These are the primary points. Now we have seen many (long not all) mobile various manufacturers and find two models quite good, although they could hardly be more different. As indicated in the subject already a new Hymer Exsis i 562 or a new hobby Siesta T65 HGF. The latter is brand new only This is so new that you can’t find it on the road in natura. We were only allowed to look at the vehicle together with the dealer at the factory. The hymer, on the other hand, has not been built in 2 years. We could buy it from a dealer as a new vehicle special edition. I think the last models have been delivered to dealers cheaply here. (http://www.krueger-caravan.de/index.php?…) What is your opinion on the models and is there muchleic? Does an owner of the T65 HGF who can read and report practical experiences? from the Hymer I would also like to hear owner experiences Preislich they are so close together that it hardly makes a difference. New are both. Small things are that sometimes make the one or sometimes the other appear in the better light. The Hymer is based on Ford, the hobby on Fiat.

  • 12 v / 230 v Separation ? Battery ? Charger, power supply…?

    Hello ! The search did not give me the matching answers to my question marks in the head, hence as its own topic: In my caravan I have installed an 80 Ah gel battery, this is charged by Ctek device. If I stand now for example on the camping site, and come in from outside 230V, then is charged and at the same time unloaded again … believe that is not good for the battery, or ? The charger doesn’t seem to get that…? Will it take more from me than after eladen. The Bordelectrik is mainly on 12V, so a few lights, radio, water pump… Refrigerator and a few lights also go to 230V. How can I solve this ? Thanks for the tips ahead

  • Trailer bikes block at full braking?

    During a driving safety training for teams (which I can only recommend to everyone) we also carried out a full braking from 50 km. Our caravan brakes, but the wheels do not block completely and you have the feeling it pushes it still. Then I tried to drive with tightened hand brake, but I hardly come from the spot. In some caravans the wheels blocked completely and with some not. They told us that we should check the brakes l assen. On demand from the dealer, I was told that if the wheels of the caravans were completely blocked, they could also break out. However, it will also be due to the rust, because the brake pads first have to grind in. We will now go to a test bench and have this tested. But now the real question: What do you mean, the wheels should block completely with a full braking?

  • Load towing load

    Hello Community, I have a 535d Touring xDrive (EZ 07/2016) with an electr. swivelling trailer coupling installed by the factory. The maximum towing load is 2000 kg (braked). I would like to buy a heavier trailer now and came across the topic of loading. Unfortunately, the customer service from BMW did not reply to my request. Does anyone have any experience with a load up here? I already have the references to Auto Technik Bihler and S.K. Handels here in the forum. GmbH found. S.K. says that they have no possibility for my car, Bihler says very probably possible, on 2300 kg (incl. support load up to 8% incline), about 600€ cost. However, as with any deviation to the series, BMW could reject the manufacturer’s warranty (I have a BMW Premium Selection warranty that runs for just under 3 years). Are there any other options? What is “legally” actually a burden) Thank you!

  • Fog closing lamp – TÜV

    Hello, the TÜV also checks the NSL. Does the NSL have to be switchable even when the light is switched off, or is it enough if the NSL goes on when the light is switched on (of course with extra switch)? D.h. NSL would only be switchable when the light is switched on. The reason is that there is no signal at the NSL socket on the towing vehicle. (Tested with test plug). But I want to save myself the constant request for the error (obvious to the towing vehicle) and simply bring an additional NSL on the trailer. n and when the inspector says “Please turn on fog lamp” with a radio switch, i.e. simply lead the power of the rear light to the NSL with a radio switch. On the towing vehicle, Volvo V70 II, 2001, I never thought there was a signal on the pin of the NSL / AHK removable 13 pole, was retrofitted. However, the NSL on the Volvo works. However, I believe that the trailer, never an NSL was connected … (TEC 490 TSK, 1996)

  • Baggage slips under the fund seat

    Hello Marco Polo Fansgemeinde, I finally got my MP. On the first trip, the luggage slipped under the fund seat, so that they could not be lowered to the bed. Only after laborious prefabrication then went. Question: How do you solve the problem? Is there possibly a bulkhead for the installation or only a rear extension helps there? If so, which rear extension can you recommend?

  • Problem with TABBERT customer service

    Moin, I have been fighting with TABBERT for months. We bought a new PEP 550 DM in the DEZ.2020. The problem: The gas flame from the refrigerator always goes out by wind. During the ride and sometimes even at the campsite. The reason is, the flame is directly behind the lower ventilation grill. Without windshield!! We had this so far with no other caravan. The dealer says I should drive with winter cover. From TABBERT customer service comes “We will check your request u and get in touch with you as soon as possible.” But after 4 inquiries and 4 months of my site nobody will be in touch. And this is called PREMIUM Manufacturer !

  • BMS does not start despite 13 V – Lifepo4

    Hello Womo friends! I’m on my way to Sweden and got my Lifepo cells shortly before departure. Then 2 days balanced and 50 % charged. That’s all I could do because of the time. During charging I could start the Daly 4S 120A BMS and monitor it using Bluetooth, set parameters. After that it didn’t work in the vehicle. Also not with charger or power supply as described. On-off a switch I unfortunately have no. What can it be, h at someone an idea? On the battery are current 13,2 V and each cell has 3,328 V on, are all almost the same. I’ve been traveling for 4 days without BMS, running. But would like to use it. Vl. can help me, thank you. Greetings from Sweden, Daniel
