Your better using kwh rather than cost as some sites will have a cheaper supply. We use on average 130 kwh per week at a cost of 0.175 pence per kwh. We are living full time in the van, our main tips are at this time of year for Alde users, turn the water heating option off. When away from...

We live, still, in our touring caravan full time as such our Alde is used more than most. We havent any issues with airclocks When we toured with it we did get some air in the system but all we needed to do was open the radiator valve in the bathroom towel rad. We do have a 1 litre bottle of...

Dual Mass Flywheel, there was a bit that held the plates apart, it was that piece that gave up, so every gear change the plates would rub making a noise like a chair leg on a wood floor. Many years back, so much so I cant remember, Jaguar X Type sport premium collection, 6 speed diesel...

So I broke a flywheel once reversing the caravan into our storage plot many years back. Slipping the clutch, huge heat build up, DMF gave up! Its an absolute rarity to see me reversing the caravan, always motor mover.

For me CL's should give a rating on access. We have walked past several that towing our caravan to would be mission impossible.

York Beechwood Grange had, so do check, when we used it on a regular basis a ban on being able to walk out the site with your dog, because of the horses in the adjoining fields Naburn lock is a nice site, bus stop outside, a river taxi into York within easy walk, and then the lock itself is an...

Went to my local dealer over the weekend he was saying new prices going up another £500, which in turn increases the used price which is my interest as my storm resilient outfit will be on the market hopefully in April, house gods willing.

Next storm, pah. Woke up at 00.40 to power cut and a hailstones downpour the likes you HAVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE, incredibly loud, think of a thousand hammer drills having a go at the roof and you wouldn't be close, never had the likes of it before. Did an early morning torchlight check to caravan...

Yes the others where seasonal, there are quite a few. Everyone was advised via phone to come and take down their awnings, some did and maybe the three just couldn't get here. One tourer left the awning attached but removed the internal poles then strapped x shape from handle to steady, not sure...

41 minutes! Shaved off 4 minutes, but tbh the roads where practically empty! Vroom. Vroom 🚗

An acquaintance of mine damaged their car on the drive, he phoned his insurance to make an enquiry only about claiming, decided not to bother as a body shop I use, the wife and bumpers whole other story, quoted £150. Next renewal his price went up because as the insurance company said, he had...

I've been watching used caravan prices as I'm selling mine hopefully April, its absolutely astonishing what they are on dealers forecourts at, hope it lasts!

Raced back to the site from work, a new PB. Storm Eunice has passed, the damage to Cornwall was minimal, trees seem to have taken the brunt with several toppled onto roads. On site out of the four awnings left erected, three are now trashed, ours I caught in time as the pegs to one side and...

unfortunately we don't have that option, too much stuff in the awning with nowhere to put it For those that don't know we are living in it full time whilst waiting for the house to be built. I took a gamble, we've been in high wind situations before but with a single pole porch awning which...

We have always shopped around after realising loyalty costs you money Direct Line was our preference for years until I tried the comparison web sites, and to be honest I've never looked back. We had a person hit the wife's car whilst it was parked on our allotted space, our insurance company at...
