Not much help,but I have the mirrors and the kuga,not a problem.I clamp them to the top of the car mirror,outer clamp about 1cm from end and the other clap in the middle.I just make sure they’re fully butted up and tighten the thumb wheel down tight ish,never had even a slight issue? Maybe watch...

The one in the OP.

Sorry can’t help with stopover sites.However,we stopped at this site for a while a couple of years ago and am pleased to say it’s very nice. Absolutely stunning area,lots to do ,enjoy.

As people above have stated,both have plus and minus.We have a Kampa 390 air awning and annex.Never had a problem with bladders or collapse in the wind. We have had issues with condensation but I think that’s a kampa issue,not an air awning issue. They are heavy,but as you stated you’re not...

Hi Tourer, We went in summer 23, you won’t be disappointed. Like you we traveled from north west England,overnight ferry to Caen(I know it’s a longer route)then diagonal across france(500 miles in a day on main roads) couple of days rest near Grenoble then drive through the frejus tunnel past...

As some of the posts say, driving several hours on a French motorway is very different to driving several hours on say the M6. It’s so much easier/less stressful/enjoyable driving on the continent.

Usually we tow about 300miles for a main holiday in one stint,although we did tow diagonal across France at about 500 miles in a day, that was a needs must and won’t be repeated as it was a stretch. Most tows are about the 100mile mark for weekend or Easter breaks.

All year,I especially like a nice,clear,frosty morning. Don’t like damp dismissal weather,not good for morale.

When we went last year,we did a couple of nights near Grenoble then directly through the frejus tunnel and Turin,Milan and onto Garda. The tunnel was about £60 I think.We went this route as we didn’t think towing over the mountain passes was a good idea/feasable.

Hi markyboy,We stayed at Baia verde last summer,very nice.Its bottom left of the lake.Virtually all the lakeside sites are easy access to lake and paths around,restaurants are aplenty. Pitches on most of the sites aren’t exactly massive,you are crammed in a bit. Absolutely stunning area.Enjoy

Having had both types,they’ve both got good and bad points.However,one thing nobody ever talks about is the weight of an air awning (we’re talking 3/4 or full awnings) with poles you usually have a bag for poles and a bag for awning,with air it’s just one big(and I mean big) and heavy ( if...

Well done for volunteering, good luck in your new position 👏

Holgates( silverdale) all serviced pitches,not all but most have hedges .Really big pitches if you go to top of site,although you’re then the furthest away from the main building,which houses a swimming pool,small bowling lanes,restaurant and bar.There are a couple of kids play parks dotted...

As above,don’t get a universal one,get a proper fitted one . I use the specialised one, can’t fault it.

All sorted now,ferry booked,2 weeks @wecamp pireneos,and a week in San Sebastián on way back.Cheers for all the input .
