I bought a 3 mobile broadband dongle. £10 top up for a month. Coverage is quite good in England. However the further north you go into Scotland the less coverage you will find. Best advice if you are going as far as Inverness take a o2 mobile dongle because they work great up there. Dont...

We have just had a new one fitted. Our old one was twelve years old and we could not have managed without it. Our new one is brilliant. You can spin the caravan on a sixpence. We bought direct from Powrtouch and they arranged for their fitted to install at our storage place. He removed the...

Thank you - that is excellent.

Our first caravan, bought new from Halfords Auto Leisure Land in Sunderland, was a 1976 Monza 1400 CT. No toilet, no sink in the toilet compartment no oven. It came with two gas lights (one at each end) - slam the caravan door and you had to change the mantle. A foot pump for cold water...

We have a Swift Charisma 220 (2001) and the gas struts on the Heki rooflight no longer work. I see you can buy replacements but don't know about changing them myself. Is it an easy job, should I try or should I get a caravan service centre to do it? I would welcome your views.

That location would be no problem. Thanks for responding dingdong. Will have a look at this site. Kind regards - Linda

Thanks for responding Inner Zone. We have decided to go to alternative storage where the owner is CaSSOA. Lot more expensive, but we will feel more secure.

Can anyone recommend a caravan park in the vicinity of Thirsk where they offer season pitches for tourers. Looking forward to hearing from you.

We have to find new storage facilities for our caravan. The van is insured through the Caravan Club but I am away from home so cannot read the content of the policy. We have been offered a place to park the van in a farmer's yard. This part of the farm is unmanned, the gate to the yard is...

Good one. Many thanks Linda

Many thanks for your comments everyone. We have decided that next time we tow, we shall remove the jockey wheel. Linda

As some of you will know I recently spent about seven weeks touring Scotland and the Lakes. When we were staying at Dunning we watched an outfit arrive on site (as you do) and were surprised to see them take the the jockey wheel assembly out of the boot (before unhitching) and fit it to the A...

Many thanks for responding everyone. Plenty of food for thought. Linda
