Further to the point about dodgy water, we have been using Aquasol for years and are still around to tell the tale! It kills bugs and bacteria and unlike some other products, it's tasteless. In the nicest possible way... http://www.montystravels.com/page22.htm Our hose is the type that you...

We've been with Safeguard since 2009 and are happy with them. We have 12 months unlimited mileage insurance cover in Europe, plus unlimited breakdown cover, UK and Europe.

Our motorhome is just under 6 metres but we also have bikes on the back. Sometimes it's possible to reverse into a space and have the overhang and bikes in an out of the way place. Think about the length of the overhang on your chosen van, and also about how low the overhang is... we've seen...

Thanks for that. I was also just reading through the other thread, where you've commented :)

Jeeves the Sat Nav is getting past her sell-by date... which Sat Nav do you use and what's good about it? Thank you in advance :)

Don't forget to look at the recent Good Sites Guides in both south and north Northumberland!

We did notice the merci/danke bit, which was rather confusing at first!

Thanks, we won't actually bother as we won't be in Switzerland for much longer, and if we have to do without electricity, it's no big deal. I just wondered how common it was and wanted to give the heads up to other visitors to Switzerland. Thanks anyway though :)

One thing that nobody mentioned when we were planning to come to Switzerland is the Swiss three-pin plug/socket, including those in campsite electricity boxes.We read about them and also read that they are readily available in Swiss supermarkets; we haven't seen any! The ACSI site near...

As per the advice given in the post above, we did buy our vignette early and had it posted to Spain, while we were there for the winter. So far, we have found the road network to be really good, with clear signage. The ACSI site near Interlaken is listed as €18 per night, but with local taxes on...

A beautiful country and definitely worth a visit. As has been said, the Little Switzerland area is lovely . It's worth getting the most recent aires book for Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, as it lists the Quickstops in Lux, which are motorhome parking areas by or in campsites; fewer...

We've had the same problem although to a much lesser degree, by the sounds of it (see Practical Motorhome Feb 15 issue). Our roof timbers seem to be solid although we can see a small amount of distortion in the ceiling panels. At the moment we're working on the theory that while the roof stays...

It might be helpful if people were to post some actual costs on this one, as it's a frequently asked question but we all have our own opinions and requirements. So for us: when we decided to start touring five years ago, we knew we'd be going from one country to another, and didn't want to be...

No, but it's funny how many people have made the same assumption...

I quite agree; the problem we were about to be faced with was the MH parking sideways on and staring into our door/window. I'm not sure how he planned to fit into the space in the first place as it is impossible to do so, with a vehicle longer than 5m, without overhanging into another pitch...
