my motorhome was a 6 cylinder non turbo VW if I was still running it. it would cost £250 for the road tax and whatever the fuel duty is on a litre of fuel to go 5 miles. no thanks. I will stick to my 12 year old diesel car. for as long as it runs. and the tree huggers can go carry on walking...

hi all, I am with the last two posts, there is no way I am going to sign up to any system that I cannot get rid of, all this reminds me of sitting at the computer doing a post at 11:30pm on the 31st of december 1999 wondering if my little box would work in the morning...

spot on Bill!! no ad's here either, note for Parksy I too share your frustration at this site as a old member (almost 10years now) I for one appreicate all the hard work you mods have put in over the years to make it (what was) the best caravan forum on the internet it is a real pity...

dont think so CyberCynth why would one be banned for telling the truth!!!!!! trouble is forums are now seen as old hat and ancient as most media is now done on smart phones and tablets which are difficult to handle on a forum platform theres not much interest in them from the media moguls...

don't think so Kev as it might cause a conflict in the system, however you can download a free one while.still using the current one then hold it in downloads untill needed, or once you have it, turn off the internet, uninstall your present one, and then while off line install the new one, after...

hi Kev, I also use Avast free, definitions are updated twice a day and I have never had any problems with viruses getting through. like Parksy I used Kaspersky for years also without any problems but IMHO they got a bit expensive, that also goes for Macfee and Norton, also there is a problem...

Absolutely because seller's want to make a sale it is upto the driver to make sure the combo is legitimate and legal to tow. not the seller. if in any doubt the best source of information is the manufacturer that goes for van and car, and actually it's not that hard.

hi Terry, caravan matching can be very curcumspect in these modern times, I am afraid, but more of that later, without being too pedantic someone who has had 6 bailey's will have been round the block a few times (if you know what I mean) and will well remember the old days, when no one bothered...

nice van CyberCynth, but I dont think he would get one of those for two and half grand. they want 5k for a 97.

and how does it tow the 910kg if you don't mind me asking!! thing is if it tows that weight really well a odd couple of 100kg more isn't going to kill it. there are some really nice vans out there both 2and 4 berth in the 1000kg to 1100kg range however from your comment about wanting a...

as far as I know this has always been the case, I have a 3G dongle on pay as you go, a top up last 30 days if you don't use it all on the last day it's gone,

hi, you didn't say which engine your picasso has !!! I have towed with a Xsara fitted with the 2.0 hdi engine it was a very capable tow car up to the 1200kg limit (ie 1175kg van) but would think twice about towing that sort of weight with a 1.4 petrol. on the second point recommendations...

No it should be 20amp muli strand (similar to EHU cable) as you get 16amp from the bollard

hi Brum, I dont use Chrome, but firefox has a add-on that blocks all ads and pop-ups, been using it for quite a while now without any problems, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/

quite true that one John,, also as caravans do flex the positions of the corner steadies can put a ever so slight twist on the internal dynamics of the van, so the wardrobe goes out of square very slightly but it can be enough to effect the catches, had this phenomenon on site after about a week...
