What camping chairs are you all using? I'm looking to get a couple for myself and the wife so looking for something that will be very comfortable and be robust enough to offer decent longevity. We've only had the usual cheap £10-15 ones previously that inevitably break and are not very comfy...

We sold our folding camper a couple of years ago now with the plans to get set up for touring in 2020, but obviously plans have changed somewhat. Having more time to spend with the family has made us realise how much we have missed getting away and I want to start planning for when life...

Another vote for the TAG - it's so easy and for the little fee that comes associated with using it, it comes down to whether you are prepared to pay a few € for a hassle free experience. For us, avoiding the queues at busy tolls by using the dedicated lanes justified the subscription alone, not...

We currently have a 63 plate (LCI update version) 520d saloon (manual) and absolutely love it - not got a towbar so haven't towed with it, but I'd imagine it to do the job comfortably. Day to day we get 60+ MPG on motorway and high 40s on mixed use. Servicing is as you would expect for a...

I’m sure there will be many different opinions on this one and it’ll be fun to spark a debate! So, I wanted to get feedback on any ‘real-world’ experience on any of these vehicles for day-to-day ownership and towing – BMW 5 Series Touring (530/535d) – Range Rover (4.4TDV8, 2012 run out year and...

Interesting to read all the different views, we went from pneumatic to solid on our old outfit in the end - we'd replaced the inner tube once and the full wheel/tyre before making the move. Tyre was constantly going down and as some have said the valve was really awkward to use! Didn't regret...

Getting nights away is one of our biggest concerns before we commit to purchasing an outfit - we both work full time (but getting away early on Fridays wouldn't be too much of an issue). Our challenge is that all 3 of our boys play youth football for a grassroots club and I coach the U14s team...

As many have said before, the further south you go, generally the nicer (and hotter!) weather. We are regulars to Carnac - generally get 22-25 degrees in early August. The region is great and can highly recommend it - towing our old outfit there was never a problem. The route and options are...

Thanks all for the warm welcome and great tips, it's reinforced in my head a bit of the approach I need to take in getting my wife out to a few dealers to take a look around a few models! Craig - I passed my test in '97 so just missed the 'grandfather' rights for towing! So taking my test is...

Hi all, great little community going on here, seems generally friendly and helpful! I've been lurking on the site for a few weeks now - reading and researching, watching loads of youtube content, etc.!! I'm not completely new to camping/caravanning, we had a '90s Conway Cardinal Clubman...
