We have a towball fitted to the front of our Disco and find it VERY useful for pushing the caravan up a slight incline/into a difficult space. Saves clutch wear. Thinking of fitting one on our Skoda but wondering if it is legal? Have put the question on a legal website too but wonder if any of...

Can anyone help, I'm trying to track down a jockey wheel which we saw in Australia.This was a Repco make and it had a hand operated ratchet for moving the caravan about. Looked like a brilliant idea but I have searched online and can't find a similar thing in the UK. I did wonder about sending...

Playa Joyel is a brilliant site near to Santander, we had a great 2 weeks there at the end of a 3 month hol in Spain last year. Well worth a visit.

Yes Val, I heard on the radio that they have an expiry date and ours were about run out too. The amazing thing is that it is Government and it's organised!!! I phoned in and they were on the ball, I had the renewed cards in a couple of days....

The Camping and Caravan Club do have very concise leaflets and I think that member or not you can download them. We found this to be very useful when we toured last Winter. Cheers, Carole

Thanks a lot to both of you....

Has anyone an idea of the price of Diesel in Spain these days. I know theirs was a bit cheaper than our historically but when we left in May this year it was rocketing. Thanks

Hi there, We have just returned from 12 weeks away and were pleased with our choice of bedding. Took two king size duvets, when the bed was made up we used one under and one over us,very comfy!! When we were too lazy and used the [narrow but comfy] singles,we had a duvet each and cuddled into...

Further to my post about Bilbao terminal, we did stay overnight and there is no problem whatsoever in doing that. In fact we had quite a nice gathering of like minded people going home. There are toilet facilities and its no problem walking across the footbridge into the town, although the town...

Just back from Spain, some ATM's were allowing only up to 200 euros, some 300. Brother In Law was advised to take Travellers Cheques and couldn't get anyone to change them, caused him lots of hassles. I told my bank how long I was to be away and where and they made sure that there were no...

Hi I tried this question on another forum and no reply,hopefully someone can help. I remember in days gone bythat my in-laws had a caravan with a bed which folded back into[against] the wall. Does anyone know of a modern caravan which has this feature? Carole
