Perfect. Nice and soft so no scrathes. Long handle too(y)

As a slight aside but relevent here. Has anyone devised a tool / method of cleaning off all the gunk that accumulates in the narrow gap under the solar panel?

Prior to any tow I always lock the van door with the key which obviously lifts the door handle on the inside and engages the two shoot bolts. However, whenever I stop for a break I check the van door and always find it unlocked. Whats going on? It appears that the up and down 'jiggling'...

This awning is ‘as new’ having been partially erected on only one occasion for a few hours. It comes complete with all extras which are still in their original packaging and are unused. These include the rear upright pole set, the front to back / veranda pole set, the storm straps, curtains, and...

And lets face it in this day and age, anything thats helps the soul must be good! So after all the palaver over route planning we've actually postponed our 4 day break due to some pretty shocking / unseasonal weather thats rolling in later this week and guaranteed to spoil our break. Morris...

Thanks for that and that's certainly food for thought!! Expansion joints? Hate them too with a passion. Although the only troublesome section I was considering is the intersection where the M5 joins the M6 (northbound - obviously), and then for a few miles after until you break away from the...

Great advice and all noted. Slow and steady wins the race! We're on holiday after all. Being tugging for 20 years and recently towed around the Derbyshire Dales and The Mumbles so no stranger to narrow and busy roads, just never done the A5.

Yep looked hard at that as its very direct but then I thought about the big hill out of Kiddy and that twisty Bridgenorth Rd to Quatt which seems to go on for ever. Then there's the twisties around Much Wenlock. Will be using a new car for the first time to tug so will keep it simple for the...

Thanks. Funny that. My wife used to say "Enjoy the ride" and that was a long time ago too!

Thats brilliant guys and thanks for your honest and informative views and I get a feel of what lies ahead. You've laid to rest any minor fears that I may have had and I'm actually kind of looking forward to the trip now. I will of course report back in due course and let you know how things...

Next week we're off to Riverside Touring Park and Betws-y-Coed and are looking at the choice of routes from the Worcester area. So I've broken the journey into two sections the first being Worcester to Shrewbury where I plan to join the A5. Rather than take the more direct and very rural and...

Gary. Thanks for sharing that extremely heart felt and well written little story which will hopefully save a lot of owners a lot of grief and £££.

Yep, good ole Ridgeway. Serves us well. Having said that some of the stones on the roadways have razor sharp edges and could do with compacting down. I did consider going to that tyre place further up on the A44 on the right bend under the railway bridge as they have a huge frontage and ideal...

Being pushed for time I havn't had time to read every thread above so you may have received all the info you require. However FYI, only last week I changed both tyres on my Swift Challenger 480. I simply jacked up the van removed both wheels and left it on axle stands and a trolley jack while I...
