We are on a seasonal pitch. The cost is the equivalent to two nights per week including electric (often metered and charged separately.) Seems fair enough. My sense is that most sites have lengthy waiting lists for seasonal pitches. And I think there are regulations preventing 365 day occupancy...

It depends on how well they are put up and pegged down. Dont let the wind get inside and turn the thing into a parachute. Double peg the corners. Have storm straps that attach to the frame and also keep the canvas down - the Isabella ones are excellent for that. Any saggy roofs will let rain...

Ive got one. Its not a BBQ at all. You dont get a BBQ flavour. Its just a gas powered grill that you use outdoors. Nothing special despite what fans say. You can get the same effect with a frying pan or a griddle pan and your cooker. Easier to wash up a pan too,

Phone them. They will re-scedule for up to a year from the sailing date. Their web-site has all the details.

Probably both.

Bumped into a pupil in Paris once. Ruined the break.

Blimey. Just wish I could remember. ;)

First rule of awnings is to take it gently. Sort out the poles first and lay them on the ground near where they will be used - side poles at the side etc. There are some brilliant Youtube videos, like this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIMc2BdCUrk I know its for Isabella, but they...

We do ours in the caravan and only take really dirty pots to the site facility. Then we balance them in our hands. Never takes crockery or cutlery to the site pot-wash.

If you mean throwing a strap right across over the top of the awning, that is a good way to wear away the fabric ...... thats why most straps are attached to the front three poles to hold them down, its pretty standard. Thats what we do on our seasonal site in windy Snowdonia. Most straps are...

I replaced my board and wiped it over with a bit of ACF50 sprayed onto a rag. I use it on my motorbike to keep corrosion at bay, its brilliant stuff. [url=http://http://www.acf-50.co.uk/]

You might not want the awning rubbing against the windows and marking them. So better to find tyhe best measurement that avoids that happening.
