Another vote here for Nationwide - first class. Bill

I find that the fridge works more efficiently with them on in the Winter and I have always been lucky and had them supplied with the van when purchased which I don't think is so common now. My caravan manual says they should be used up to 8 degrees C. Bill

Clive - I tried for weeks last year to buy some, here in Nofolk, but just couldn't find any. Even went to 2 dealers who had them in their worshops but they would not even sell me a couple. Bill

My status 530 aerial works very well with Freeview, I bought a cheap meter to assist in finding strongest signals. Bill

Apparently sales and orders have confirmed Bailey customers view of the Pegasus but it will be interesting to hear longer term comments re the build construction and better insulation. We liked the outside design as well as the internal decor and smooth light walls. We felt that it was the...

Jim Just shows that they don't have to do much to win !! Bill

I travel to Southern Ireland 3/4 times a year fishing and have been doing so for about 22 years. It allows used to be the case that it was cheaper to go across the border for shopping especially fuel. Then for many years Southern Ireland was very cheap and I can well remember about 6 years ago...

Apart from the Bailey camp not much happening with many 2009 to 2010 vans. A 2009 van with a good discount would be my choice. Bill

I saw one yesterday and was very impressed I think that Baileys have done more for the caravanning production industry than they have for individual caravanners. To me if I buy a caravan that has the layout I want, doesn't ever leak or go wrong then the construction is academic. I actually...

Louise - I know it's not an answer to your question but I have started buying the cheap Spanish wine from Tescos which is sold in a Tetra pack !! Bill

I think that it is important to have a list or even a mental note of the things that are important to you in the purchase of your next caravan. The required layout is an obvious but additional accessories seem to get over looked sometimes. 3 years ago I purchased my current Swift caravan and...

Never had any problems getting the CalorLite bottles at Calor depots. The depots can be downloaded to your TomTom (or equivalent) FOC and are helpful when away. For many years used 13Kg bottles but got too old to lump them around and nervous about carrying them in the car ! I don't agree with...

Really sad news and John was one of my all time heros. I only heard the item on the news this morning and went on Google to read the full story. There was a 'You Tube' video from a German TV company showing the bizarre and unlucky accident. A wheel from a crashed car that Henry was following...

Doug Not a direct answer to your question but the windows in my Swift were covered for 3 years with the warranty. Actually got one on order now and the van is 3 years old in September. Did you check ? Bill

I did some research before buying an FL2 but could find no negative comments about the safety, the drive and towing capabilities. The only negative comments were :- A bit pricey. The GS still appears to be the best value to me. A bit thirsty. Certainly worse than my X Trail but not too bad...
