We have the Kampa pro windbreak, very much like the one posted by Gagakev. Plus sides Its very sturdy, and provided it's up correctly won't blow over in a stiff breeze like some We can hang wetsuits over it to dry The 4-legged child can't get underneath Downsides 1, it's heavy 2...

Short answer, no. We carry a 6kg and a 3.9 for that reason, it'll at least give us a day to go and get the bigger one refilled.

Fair to middling to be honest. This was the first full year with our new ‘van and tried to make the most of it. High points, finding a cracking little CL site not too far from home, a fair fortnight in the Lakes and plenty in between. The low for me was taking a wrong turn in Cornwall and ending...

We've had a Kampa Rally poled and now the air - in the bag they weigh much the same however the air is a bit more difficult to pull through the awning rail due to the weight of the air poles. That's the only downside, the footprint is the same as the poled version and we have the same amount of...

We had one for best part of 10 years before moving to a Cadac. Plus points Fairly small in comparison to the Cadac There's not much you can't cook on them, Stews, roasted a whole chicken, small leg of lamb, jacket potatoes, pizza, bread. You're not tied to a gas bottle or the outlet on...

I had an 07 plate 2.0l TDCI which is the engine built in conjunction with Peugeot..... Seriously the most problematic car I've ever owned, and had a proper "gremlin" which made it randomly drop in to limp mode; not too much of an issue solo as i could get to a safe point, turn off and re start...

Funny you should say that; I'd always just put it down to other circumstances, but I've noticed this of late and the only snaking incident I've ever had was passing a transporter on the M5

I noticed it looked abnormally quiet on a Youtube video I watched. I can't get there this time around due to work but was looking at the February show but that's during half term; it should still be pretty quiet on the Tuesday though.

Never been to Tebay although if it's as good as Gloucester it would get a joint top vote. Michael Wood is absolutely awful; it was bad before they re-jigged the car park a few years back but I actively avoid it now, making an earlier break at Gloucester or carry on to Gordano if we're on the...

The use of the OBD2 port is sadly more and more common, particularly in Ford's; it seems to be a weekly occurrence I'm seeing ST/RS models posted as stolen without keys on Facebook. There are kits available to move your OBD2 port to elsewhere in the car, leaving the old one as a dummy, some...

Are you cooling it down to temperature before towing, on gas or mains? Whilst your fridge will work when hooked up to the car (and ignition on) via the 12v system, it'll take forever to get cool from ambient temperature.

It's the Avon centre Caravan Club holiday Rally held at Trevornick the week of the late May bank holiday.

We went to https://www.camping-castels.co.uk/campsite/lanniron?gclid=CLCR5ODPjdYCFQ0R0wod-38Bpg on the oustskirts of Quimper a few years back when we had a camper van. Nice site, there were bits of organised entertainment but if you weren't interested you'd never know they were going on. Water...

We go on on holiday rally in Cornwall so it's a pretty relaxed affair and no activities other than the welcome meet with cheese and cider and the flag the following friday. Considering it's on a full commercial site with use of all the facilities, it makes for a really cheap week. Not sure we'd...

We're "young-uns" and I took my B+E last year, not that SWMBO ever towed the old van prior to me passing. Once I've had the B+E for 3 years, she can to wit with L plates so long as I'm in the passenger seat. I doesn't bother me doing the towing as I'm used to distance driving and my wife is...
