Hello guys, my parents took their Fendt Diamond 550 sg built in 2016 last time from the winter camp and had to find out that a rodent must have nested there over the winter. The whole caravan was full of urine and feces, also most things were eaten. The animal is through an uncovered hole, which leads under the refrigerator outside into the caravan. Since the mechanics of our trailer workshop are sure that it is about I would like to point out to other owners of the same model that I prefer to see if there is an open access to the right of the left tyre under the living space. It would be great if you could write to me in any case what you find there (like under [email protected]). You would really help us with this! LG

Moin together, with my camper (Knaus Traveller C500 from 2001) the alcove window is defective. Built-in was a frameless Polyplastic Roxite with cut-out about 70x40cm and aluminium rails directly attached to the window Due to the lack of availability (and also the prices) I would like to evade the used market and look for suitable windows. The question: Which windows can I install here? Would a Dometic Seitz window also fit? On the vehicle also use directly with the windows or are they incompatible? In theory everything that is larger than the cut-out would have to fit on windows, correct? Can the stands compensate for much lateral difference? Could they be moved in retrospect? Are there any sources where I can find scrappers/repairers who may slaughter this model or similar (seems to be a quite common model)? Thank you for any help!

How do you prevent damage to the floor if you put your Womo out of service until the 2021 season? I have a detachable living cabin (happily), so I only had to put down the living compartment and moth. The pickup continues as a everyday vehicle. But with a decommissioned motorhome you have to take care of a lot more. How do you think that? What should you do and what is exaggerated? Is the effort that you have to do for a decommissioning without loss of value and substance, not vi With the registered Womo you can often do at least one day tour and I really expect that from July at the latest, overnight stays for tourist purposes, at least in Germany, perhaps also in some neighboring countries, will be allowed, albeit with larger distances between the mobiles.

Hello, we have for years a bicycle carrier for the dyke (camping holiday) and another bicycle carrier at home, which is attached to the trailer coupling on the car. If we are traveling with the car we have of course only the carrier on the dyke. But we would like to drive on site also a bit by car (e.g. the mountainous part) and only then (in the lowlands) with the wheels make a tour. We have heard that there are meanwhile different systems, which one sow ohl on the drawbar as well as on the trailer coupling can attach. Does anyone have any experience with it? Greetings ROWA P.S. A car rear carrier is eliminated for us (dog in the trunk), even the wheels on the roof we don’t want (we are older and damaged by the disc).

Hello Can I charge my 2*12v 140 ah GelBatteries that are connected to 24v with a 24v Lima with 140A or is the current (amper) too high and thereby shoot my batteries? Have a 24v voltage converter attached to it with an integrated Iuou charger ,I’m only concerned that during the ride (fridge/freezer run) the batteries are not vacuumed empty or if I have no shore power available to charge the batteries with the motor. If it goes t which cross section would you need for the charging cable at about 4-5m length or possibly any Midi fuses. And where do I get my D+ for the 2 Lima (on-board network 12v) questions about questions ??

Hello At the filling nozzle of the fresh water tank the locking for the tank cover went out. (see pictures) As I see this was a press fit because nothing is broken and no adhesive can be seen. With what can I glue the ring back in again? Have only UHU and Pattex in the house. Food-safe the adhesive does not have to be, since this tank is no longer filled. I thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello together, I am new owner of a Mercedes Benz Marco Polo and have a question about the power cable. First I had bought the 25 meter 3 pole CEE extension cable – but then it was too long for me (especially to roll together again). I would like to give it back now and bought me a 10 meter cable. Much more practical. BUT on the weekend we stood on a parking space, where the 10 meter cable was then too short because I do not want a 25 meter cable and also no space for a e Drum now has the following question: – Can I just use 2 x 10 meters and close them together if necessary (with a rain cover)? I have often read in the net that one should be careful with the extensions. But would be more practical for me, as I do not always have to roll up 25 meters. – If I keep the 25 meter cable, can I still close a CEE adapter 3-pin at the back if the need exists? You should not over the 25 meter It would be great if someone here knew about it. Of course, the most important thing to me is safety.

Hello Together, all the discussions I can find on the internet (also here in the forum) revolve around support load on the trailer, but my problem is a roller carrier on the trailer coupling. In short, to understand. My Ducato box has 100kg support load, the installed AHK has 150kg support load (I have mounted afterwards, from Westfalia), clearly that the support load is limited to 100kg. A roller carrier weighs now depending on the model approx. 20kg, a semi-usable 50cc scooter weighs approx. 95kg, summa summarum therefore 115-120kg. The Ducato had previously a rear carrier for the rear door, which was allowed to be loaded with 30 or 40kg, the doors, respectively the hinges can be removed. Now it must be possible that I put a scooter carrier + scooter with 120kg on the AHK and pull with two clamping belts on each side about 10kg upwards on the door hinges. If I now still make sure not to exceed the axle load, everything should be in the green area. If the support load (e.g. by weighing) is almost impossible with this construction. A problem of “underrunning” is not at all an issue here, since it is not a trailer and it is therefore only about the overload of the whole construction. 1) In D, this should not cause any problems with +/-50% tolerance, do you see that as well? 2) In A and CH, I fear that I come from D, a “preferred treatment”, one knows our nice neighbours in the south yes. onnte find no tolerance for A regarding support load, does someone know what? 3) what does it look like further south, e.g. I, HR or GR, they are a bit more relaxed, since someone has experiences with slightly exceeded support load? Rejoice me about helpful and constructive contributions!

Hello, a topic which I think is too little taken into account is the fact that you can only list your warranty cases/claims with many brands from the dealer where you bought the vehicle. I didn’t know that at the time of the purchase of my Malibu, and would certainly not have been an argument to buy the vehicle. I assumed that it would be like the cars that you drive to any representation in the warranty case. nn. We found ours 350km away, now we have to accept 700km for each warranty case. We agreed with the dealer that he will send the parts to me, and I will build them myself, as far as possible. And that is not insignificant, as the quality leaves much to be desired. After the first long holiday trip however, we have discovered cracks on the panels below the driver’s cab doors, on both sides identical. That is one thing I do not know. cht can fix parts sent to me, now the question is, who replaces the holiday, the time and the costs for this guarantee case. Even with tests, e.g. Promobil, this is not addressed in the least, but instead the Malibu gets in current Hajt (09/2020) in the category Price & Service 3.5 out of 5 stars, something like that should be rated with max. 2 stars. Because where is the service at the customer, if I can not drive to every Malibu dealer?? Greetings Jürgen

Hello together, please help me with the following question. I am thinking of getting an older camper in the form of a 508 or Vario etc. with 50+. Background of the consideration is that I have on the one hand a slope for the old things and in our fleet already in everyday life irregularly with the 123er likes to travel. On the other hand I hope with these vehicles a robust, oversized truck technology, which still works reliably even after 500 TKM. r Car would be used by 2 people + gr. dog, inner cities (fine dust) would not be reached. Since I live in S-H, Scandinavia would be our preferred travel and driving area. So campsites are rather rarely approached. Maybe still the indication that I am just 2 meters and we both still have the old 7.5 To. driver’s license. Parking space for the car at our home on the property would be no problem. What do you mean? Spinning or a consideration worth? Are there any certain models from the time, which should definitely come with in the selection? Thank you in advance Filou
