Hi Lisa, We have a 4 and a 6 yr old and went to Brittany this year via Dover/ Calais ferry. Sorry to say the weather was awful ( 1st 2 wks of Aug) so much so the children couldn't go in the outside pool as it was too cold, very overcast, little sun and rained most days! After a week we could...

I would say yes, turn them over then put a sheet on, we used to do this but I must say we ended up buying mattress toppers as we could never get comfy with the blooming knee rolls which ever way we turned the cushions. Thankfully now we have a fixed bed so no more knee rolls - hateful things...

QUOTE:(I think this will cover a larger percentage of the population than 50cc scooter owners who want to tow a caravan behind their Aprilla don't you? I bet there are alot of new caravanners this year who if checked will fall foul of this law.) HA HA! Loving this comment - must try it with my...

Do we not need these stickers then? I query it as the CC now has the website where to buy them from as well & recommends that it your combined unit is over 3.5t then you should have them. I think I may just use them in case as I don't want some over keen gendarme taking some of my hard earned...

I have found a cheap site where you can buy the stickers for the back of your caravan if you are over 3.5t. www.speedstickers.co.uk Hope it is useful. Caz

Is this a wind up or troll trying to start another inflammatory post about how hard life is when you are in the top tax bracket?? Just wondered.....

Well I agree with Charlie,if we all sit & curtain twitch & tut tut but do nothing about it then the campers who have no respect for anyone else will just carry on with their bad behaviour won't they??

I really can't get to grips with this mad Dec booking thing and no deposits needed as it seems to end up in every site being fully booked nearly all the time so new or less skilled members who don't have the time, knowledge or energy to battle this can't get a pitch then it turns out that many...

My OH is querying whether or not having a roof box on when towing would increase economy & aerodynamics. Can anyone offer any experience on this please? Thanks

HI David, I have just spoken to my Burstner dealer regarding this post & he has fired off an email to Burstner UK to see what is going on!! I have a 2007 Belcanto 540TK which I have had from new but as yet don't know if it is one of the affected vans but suspect it may be as I found...

Have you tried looking on the Fiamma web site? They also do A frame carriers which can hold 2 or 3 bikes and you don't have to drill into the van. We are just about to order one for our van. Good luck & happy holidays.

Hi Paul, Like Hazel we too go on a lot of rallys & have two small children so need to be able to use tv & lights etc. We bought a 110 watt roof mounted solar panel which cost

Hi Hamer, Do you know what? We really love this van! Our first brand new one and the best layout for us with two children. No problems with door lock but are awaiting a new mattress under warrenty as it has collapsed on one side. Few other teething probs but nothing unexpected. Build quality...

I try not to tow it as its blooming massive so makes no odds to me what axles is or has not or how stable it is my darling husband has that job! We are just getting a mover for it so I may well tow a bit but can't reverse to save my life even though I have been on a course! Joking apart if we...

Hi Alan Our Van is a 540TK model on a single axel & is a 5 berth with fixed double bed & fixed rear bunks & small double/large single side dinette all beds sleep adults as well as children. The layout was the reason we bought it & not how many axles it had which I think is down to personal...
