    Which Gearbox for midsize SUV towcar?

    I've been a diesel fan for almost 25 years now, and will never go back to petrol. I got my first automatic three years ago . What a revealation ! Towing or solo I never find myself in the 'wrong' gear.

    Any one used Caravan Guard for Insurance

    Visitor tax

    We have been paying a tourist tax on camp site fees when visiting France and Benelux for many years. We often thought what a good idea it was . Just what is it about 'paying tax' that so upsets the British ? We all expect services, which only can be fairly paid for through taxation.

    Motorhomes being victimised

    I Disagree ! Why should local council tax payers pay? There are camp sites - let them use one for a night (or more) where such facilities are properly provided ! I resent freeloaders !
