We stayed at Camping La Quercia in Lazise this year. We weren't terribly impressed. It is a very large site with 'everything on it', and we couldn't have wanted more in the way of amenities, facilities etc, but we felt that the eating areas were very understaffed, it was not uncommon to have to...

Thanks for all your help. My husbands towed with a trailer in the past, but having a caravan makes you much more aware of weights etc

Thanks for that Lutz, I knew I could rely on you!! It is a low loader, 5ft6in by 9ft10in so not a huge one. The weights of the car are kerbweight 2255kg and maximum towing limit(braked) of 2800kg. Looking at these weights and your advice, it would appear that we would be able to tow the...

Having been caravanning for a couple of years now, we are used to the 85% rule, and weigh everything religiously. However, my husband is in the process of buying a trailer with a maximum permitted weight of 2700kg (incl. trailer) which is way above the kerb weight of our towing vehicle. Do the...

Brian, Life's too short and none of us are getting any younger!! If I were you I'd be tempted to look elsewhere for employment, there should always be a bit of give and take with regards to time off. We've got a similarish(!!) problem. My other half has got his own business and used to work...

Neil, Was this quote from the dealer you got your current caravan from. Another dealer will often give you a lot more on a part ex because they want your business. The same thing happened to us a few months ago and we were offered a lot more from a different dealer.

William We have had Coachman, Swift and Elddis caravans, and none of these have been supplied with a jack. When we started caravanning our dealer (Broad Lane)advised us of all the extra things we would need to buy to get started. A jack was included in this list. I must admit, when starting...

Hi Rubix, Welcome to the world of caravanning. Our current van is the first van we have had without a window at the back (Elddis Crusader Storm), and my husband doesn't find it any more difficult. In his experience (only 2 years, but 4 caravans!!) you could never really get a clear view of...

Hi, are you aware that there is a problem with the diff on some Terracans. MOH, Steve's Terracan started playing up in Italy (with only 6,000 miles on the clock), and after finding some evidence of diff probs on other websites, took it into the dealers on our return who confirmed that there is a...

Has anyone got any comments on diesel Landrover Discovery's. They seem to have had quite a lot of bad press in the past but it is claimed the new one has all problems ironed out. We are thinking of changing our towcar as our current one looks as though it might need a new diff, after only 7500...

O'h my god, I'm gobsmacked. Just received my copy of October PC in the post and there is an article about caravan insurance in it. Who do PC recommend at their Budget Choice for caravan insurance, none other than our old 'friends', *&*. I appreciate it's probably supposed to be an unbiased...

A lot of us will be back from our hols now and returning to the daily grind that is life, and I was just wondering, how did you all get on, was your campsite as good as you hoped. We stayed at La Quercia on Lake Garda for 2 weeks and had mixed weather, one week of 40 degrees and blazing...

Hi Jim, Stayed at Ruda last Whitsun, one of our first times out touring. We got a corner pitch which was a fairly good size although I must admit some of the pitches seemed on the small size, although not as small as you sometimes find on the continent. I always mention we've got a twin axle...

I agree!!!

No mechanical work involved, you just get sent a new plate to stick on in place of the original!!
