    New Vans

    Thank you That's really reassuring to be honest. Love the layout and and furnishings etc but I always get a bit twitchy when changing vans (in case I buy a lemon - again!) Will review again and possibly purchase (y)

    New Vans

    I know this is an old thread (and sorry for your loss) but wondered how you found the Elite and if you still have it - is it all good. Asking as looking at second hand one to replace our Swift Challenger 530 (2016) but worried about the build quality (and any things to look for).

    Finding good dealers?

    Is this at Jockey Lane - we were there on Saturday looking for a new (to us) van? Came across it after going to Couplands at Worksop. I wasn't impressed as it resembled a gravel traveller site with a log cabin thrown on it as an office! It certainly didn't appear to be a dealer site...

    CL's

    hi all. a question for all you regular CL users what would you do when your quiet little 1/4acre back garden C/L gets overcroweded with 8 vans !!!!! Report it! - We recently stayed on one which had 25 vans on!!! The owner said he'd slightly overbooked due to 'no shows'! I don't think so...

    CL warwickshire area required

    Went to this one a few years ago http://www.croftguesthouse.co.uk/ was very nice, but was under the flight path for the airport. Good access to the canal network, Warwick, Stratford etc.

    Bucklegrove?

    Hi We went there quite a few years ago and loved it. Was a choice of two fields, the 2nd field was quite sloping but nice anyway. Toilets on both fields, at the time were a little dated. The small club and shop were adequate, and the pool although small was great , went in everyday as it...

    Motor Movers Comparison

    Not suprised Rhyno came last but remember that CC had a survey not that long ago about movers, but haven't published the results yet, so that may be interesting. Can see the MD from Rhyno trying sue the CC magazine for printing it - he's certainly got the attitude to do so!

    Small site, CL or CS with a indoor or outdoor pool

    I think the Red House at Moor Monkton near York has a pool - think that's it's name, but will check in the book when I get chance.

    Over the top cleaning

    We clean our van when it needs it. No set rules, and it's maybe a couple of times a year. When away, it's rest time, designed to get away from the chores at home not spend time cleaning and pimping our van. We swill the front off on arrival if it's picked up a lot of muck, but don't...

    CaravMovers

    I can recommend one NOT to use. Its British made and begins with 'R'.

    What time should a CL pitch become free ?

    We use CL's all the time and we always ask when booking if it's ok to stay until later in the afternoon. Most don't mind, but also let you know if it's a problem. Most CL's we use have more than 5 hook ups, so that there is a spare to use if there happens to be a crossover. Again we have...

    Good dealer...

    Your are perhaps the first person I have ever seen on a forum praise Glossop Caravans - most I read have had very bad experiences with them, us included. Would never use them again to buy a van (not sure about an awning).

    caravan club = boring club & O.A.P club....

    There are a few that are very expensive for families (probably priced so that families don't use them). If you say Rowntree Park in peak season for the pitch, 2 adults, 2-3 children, it would be around £38, well priced out for non retired people to use. I also use CL's only have done for...

    Don't recommend Rhyno - countless problems and not so good customer service

    York

    Couple of CL's at Warthill Grange and Meadown Farm, both Stockton on the Forest. We cycle from both into the centre of York - takes about half hour but I'm not that fit.
