    playa tropicana

    Beautiful site, as the name says - very tropical. Showers and toilets are spotless. Pitches are not as big as el delfin verdi and are a bay type surrounded by hedges. Pool on photos looks bigger than what it actually is. But ideal as it has direct beach access, coastline much better than up...

    can i tow new van

    Without going technical on you, I'd say you're asking to much. It will pull it (engine wise) and also weight wise BUT ONLY IF you intend to put practically nothing in your van. Example - we had a Rialto 640/6 more or less size to Bailey Senator and an Audi A6 (bigger bhp and heavier than...

    Open Invite

    If you banned everything that caused a problem to someone, you'd have to ban everything. And where conflict arises it is often due to misunderstanding or lack of knowledge There is a difference between 'off-roading' and laning. That's the trouble with people, they are far to keen on banning...

    new year

    Haven't spent New Year there but stay October last year. Good site. Clean. But can get really muddy. Many around us had problems either getting on or off.
