Thanks for your inputs people, I'm going ahead and making the purchase. Hopefully I won't regret it. Much appreciated.

Hi, I've seen an awning that I quite like, but not sure what the quality will be like. I know it won't be up to isabella or kampa standard but as long as it doesn't deflate or leak I'm quite happy. It's the Outdoor Revolution sportlite 320 ex. It's available in halfords ATM for £995. The...

Island beds are designed to stay in position at all times. So that's taken into account when towing etc. So I'm just checking from people's experience.

My caravan is a twin dinette, when travelling is it okay to have the bed made at the rear of the caravan? We have 2 children and having the bed made while traveling will save us time when arriving to the site later in the evening when the kids are tired. Thanks Chris

I'm looking at getting an full size awning. The awning size for my caravan is 925 (according to the isobella website) Which size should I go for, should I go for awning size 900 to 925 or 925 to 950? Is there any preference to which is best? I'm worried incase one is a little tight or the...

Thanks for the information guys, most appreciated.

Hi, Has anyone had any experience buying from prelovedcaravanawnings.co.uk? There is an awning that I'm considering buying but having not seen the awning I'm abit apprehensive. Description of it sounds spot on, they're located in Birmingham which is too far to inspect and collect. Cheers.

Thanks for the info, sounds like I can't go wrong with the Santa Fe.

The caravan I'm towing now is quite light, but I want a car that is future proof so If I ever want a bigger van I dont have to change the car to suit.

I feel you get more for your money with the santa fe, Sorento seems to be abit more expensive if you want the same gadgets as the Santa fe, I maybe wrong?

Would you day the Santa Fe is a good tow vehicle? Have you encounted any problems with it? I commute to work on my bike so the car will 80% of the time be used for towing or long distance journeys. So I don't mind if its a little more pricey fuel wise.

Hey guys, My current tow car is an 1.6dci Nissan Xtrail. Although I've been towing with it for 3 years and it's super reliable, I want something more relaxing to drive especially whilst towing. Changing up and down gears on regular basis gets abit tiring. I have around £16,000 to spend and an...

Sorry I don't have a good knowledge on the technical side of things, I used to tow a trailer before getting the caravan. So I use an adapter changing 8pin to 13pin? So the caravans lights will work but without the use of using the fridge while towing.

As the title reads, I don't have the right socket on my car to run the fridge while I'm towing. I was wondering if it's possible to use the leisure battery to keep it running? I'm not too worried about draining the battery as I'm always using caravan club sites. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice and sharing your experiences. I have chosen to rearrange the service of my caravan, better safe than sorry!
