After watching this.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWBB3s1wXkE .....I've just fitted 2 different locking studs to each of the alloys on the caravan, an Alko hitch lock, which locks the hitch both on and off the vehicle. Waiting on a wheel clamp and an extra double hard sas...

From looking at your website David I see why the roads are familiar, well done on that, very informative.

Thanks Derek, he is more photogenic than I.

@ Val A. Same as buying at home. In my case I had to act quickly as I was after a rare model that was nearly sold out. After tracking it down, and checking out the dealer concerned, I sent them a deposit by bank transfer to hold the vehicle until I could get time to go over for it. They...

Following the strict letter of the law, towing mirrors probably were required. However, on my vehicle the outer inch of both mirrors is parabolic, in that it performs some trickery that more is squeezed into that inch of view. I could just about see the rear corners of the caravan in a straight...

The objective of the excercise was to present a birds eye view for the benefit of others, who could be in a position similar to the one I was in, having never driven in either countries, NL & Germany, before. Might help someone prepare for whats there. That was the intent.

No 74 was of a truck on the back of a lowloader being towed with another truck, presented a somewhat unusual effect.

By God I think I got it. They're slighly cropped on right side but the general story is there. Enjoy.

I don't get it. The above format works on other forums, but not this one. I tried putting them in one at a time but was loosing the will to live. Maybe Parksy has a quick fix, otherwise I will look at again tomorrow evening.

Hi Nigel The caravan is good, very well put together, has the layout I want, and reeks of solid teutonic quality. Minimum frivolity with the emphasis on functionality and build quality. The Pacific 530 series was a limited run of the popular Camper 530SK with some costly options included as...

Just returned from the epic trip Pippah, see post here..... http://www.practicalcaravan.com/forum/new-members-say-hello/made-it-germany-and-back-my-new-dethleff-pacific-530sk

Hi all I posted here a few weeks back that I was going to buy my first caravan in Germany. The reason being it was the only one I liked with the specific layout I wanted. On Mon 31st Oct, myself and 11yo son Christopher drove in my 2005 X5 diesel from Donegal to Belfast, got the Stena ferry...

Thanks Parksy and Rob-T Incidentally, there is a bigger chance of ME being kept at the monkey zoo, thank God the little fella took his looks from his mother. I will keep a log and pictures of the trip will be posted. BTW Parksy, love the Avatar of Fr Jack, a personal role model of...

Thanks Kenf I forgot to say the dog's coming as well, unusual Schnauzer/KCS cross called "Dinky.2", if the pet passport comes in time. The vet lost the paperwork first time around, so they were resubmitted a few weeks ago. Day 1 Travel Donegal to Scotland where I will stay...
