Hi all
Help and advice needed for the following please.
I am looking for a really - really simple awning for my Topaz which can be attached using suction caps (thanks Carol ) I don't need anything fancy just something for a little privacy so must have sides.
Next on my wish list is a compact washing machine. I have Googled and found a couple of models for sale on various websites but would appreciate any recommendations or definite dont buys.
The washing machines I have seen range from about £40 up to £99.
Thanks for any help.

Do it proper.
Whilst in France recently we saw several, what looked like road works compressors towed by MHs.
But when they opened them up there was a full sized washer and drier.
Clean folk the French. |

Hi Maura,
No help for you on your requests, but nice to see you again. How are you getting on with the Topaz??

Hi
You can buy an electric washer as seen here.

I have also seen one like the above, but without the spinner.
Alternatively, you could get a wonder wash - see the review section on MHF.

Not just a washing machine inside. There is a full-sized cooker and a sink as well as storage space. They seem to have taken over from the kitchen tent for the well-heeled traveller. Goodness how they manage on 3 amp sites but they certainly manage to monopolise the water taps round any site. Waste water seems to be set to flow into the gutters. They're very smart but bet they cost a fortune.

Hi Maura,
I too have a Topaz, and I use a drive way awning by Reimo. Dead simple to put up and quick too, about 20 min from out the bag to pegged out.
Here's the link I hope your german's up to scratch;

You can order it from the concept multi car website (basically Reimo uk) and Campershop I think the campershop is cheaper. the awning is about £100.

Hilldweller,
Many of those clean French with those compressor type thingies are indeed Gypsies or do we call them full timers?

I know you said you wanted a simple motorhome awning but it depends on your clarification of simple.
I think the Kyham Motordome Excelsior is simple, in that it just 'pops' up, takes no more than 10 minutes to put up and about another 10 to peg down. It also then takes down in about 10 minutes. It is a drive away awning allowing you to leave your deck chairs etc in it whilst you go out for the day. Also makes a great gazebo in the garden if you are having a party!!
There is a review of it under the product review section. It can be attached using suction hooks as I know others have done it this way. There are two sizes, the Excelsior is for coachbuilts and has a floor space of approx 10 ft by 10 ft inside with an additional 3ft porch area linking on to the MH.
There is also one called a Kyham Motordome Classic which is lower and fits lower MH's.
Hope this helps. |
