Thanks for that advice.I assume you are happy with Coachman caravans if you've had 3? This is our first, we've always had Avondales.Quality is very good but it is rather heavy,especially on the noseweight. What do you tow with? We feel the 4 x 4 route is the only way open to us. Carol.

Thanks for that information-most helpful. We've been looking at a 4 litre Grand Cherokee 1999 which will do the job ok-if only we can afford the running and servicing costs! Trust you are happy with Jeeps? Carol

Can anyone please tell me the noseweight of this vehicle? I know it will tow my 1450kgs Coachman ok weightwise, but can't find the noseweight limit anywhere and as the caravan's noseweight is 100kgs I'm a bit concerned. We've got a 3ltr Vauxhall Omega estate at the moment which is heavy enough...

Hi Bazz We collected our Coachman Pastiche 470/2 last week,after an Avondale Rialto 550/4 which I loved, but was 7 years old so was time to move on. This new one is all luxury but I'm having to get used to being smaller, so am having trouble finding room for everything-especially the...

Hi-can anyone help me? We have just bought a new Coachman Pastiche and were planning to install a Matsui microwave in one of the lockers.However the microwave's instructions say there must be 4" gap all round-which we do not have,there would only be 1" at sides, tho we do have the correct 8"...

Hi Folks I am trying to convince my friend who wants to buy a Mondeo to tow his 1998 Sterling caravan weight 1300kgs, that the 130 bhp model would be a better buy than the 115 bhp.Does anyone else agree with that view and if so would appreciate your comments? Thanks Carol

Hi Lee We've stayed at Merley court for many years under the Wright Family's ownership and were a little nervous when we went in March.Needn't have worried-the wardens were so helpful & friendly-especially when my husband was taken ill and I didn't have any food-I was even given food out of...

Hi Loftyboy! Have you used your Mondeo yet to tow and if so are you happy with it? We too are thinking of changing to a 2litre TDCi 130 Ghia Estate to tow our Avondale Rialto 550/4 with a gross weight of 1300 kgs. Any comments would be welcome. Thanks Carol

Please can someone tell me the kerbweight of a VW Passat TDi SE 130 Estate 2001-2002 model? Would you recommend this as a tow car? We are contemplating changing our Vauxhall Omega 2.5 TDi Estate for either a Mondeo TDCi 130 Estate (around a 2002 model) or the Passat as above. The Omega has been...

We are thinking of changing our 1996 Vauxhall Omega 2.5 tdi estate for either a 1-2 year old 1.9CDTI 150bhp Vectra Estate or Zafira (same engine) & wondered if anyone could give us advice on either car,for or against.We tow an Avondale Rialto with gross weight of 1300 kgs. Many thanks-Carol
