    Caravan sites near Paris

    Sorry about the earlier false start. Wife and I are looking at taking the caravan to Paris in the Spring/early Summer. Has anyone knowledge of a convenient and decent campsite near a Metro station giving easy access to the City ? Would be grateful for any information about that or any other...

    Batteries

    Many thanks peeps. Exactly the information I needed. JTQ. Thanks to you for pointing out my obvious solution, as my regulator has the same (forgotten !) facility. My aims are similar to your own. Many thanks.

    Batteries

    Simple question if you know the answer, which I don't. Wanting to double up my battery capacity by adding another 110 a/h battery in parallel for use in conjunction with a solar panel, but don't know how the two batteries will react if they are unequally charged at the time of linking up. Will...

    Modern parlance

    In this day and age when people are persisting in mangling the good old English language, can anyone tell me what the expression "sucks" is supposed to mean, i.e. as in (a recent forum posting) "Spain sucks".

    Can anyone recommend a vet in Mojacar/Turre

    We're at Mojacar ourselves, with dog and caravan. To give ourselves a cushion of surplus time to allow for eventualities, we always leave 5 days before sailing time and head for Santillana del Mar (about 15 miles out of Santander and the only one - I believe - open in the winter period). From...

    Road reports in Spain

    Driving down through Spain from Santander to the South coast on 3rd January. In view of the weather outlook (and always presuming that we can get down to Portsmouth from Yorkshire in the first place) does anyone know of how to get access to road condition reports existing in Spain without the...

    Hi John_374564913. Googled SDA and got a choice of Seventh day Adventist Church; Scottish Downhill Assn; Speed Demo Archive; Sexual Dysfunction Assn; and others. Which one was you in when you saw that drill. Coops.

    Up for grabs - awning

    Hi Steve. Can't remember, but you can probably look it up for a Senator 9000. Also not sure of the previous size (before extension) but if I remember correctly you are allowed up to one metre gusset at each end without difficulty. Not sure how big my gussets are, but its getting on that...
