    What's the best real-world tow car?

    Without doubt, my Jaguar XF 3.0d is amazing. Masses of torque. Pulls my lunar clubman SR like a dream and when I'm back in the real world, is amazing family car, Motorway cruiser. Luxury. Power. Comfort. And great value at 2-3 years old with jaguar warranty. The only downside is a 75kg nose...

    Just finished stage 1 (@sandy balls in new forest) of our second outing with our new van. Just before setting out, we noticed the awning looked a bit dirty. We stupidly went and scrubbed it down with soapy water before setting out. 3 days in it poured down with rain. Suffice to say it may as...

    Kampa Air awning size question

    Hi all we have a Kampa rally pro air. 3m. On a 7m lunar clubman. It's a great and easy awning. Seconds to put up but it is heavy. Best thing to do is take a tape measure down the side of the van and plan out where you want it to go. On ours it covers half of a window but it's no biggie.

    Genuine customer service from a cardealer -amazing

    Those are very good points. It's pretty sad really that we have to come accept that these type of business flaut the rules in the hope to get away with it as most people either won't question it or don't have the knowledge to question it.

    Phantom Alarm / tracker
