Started in June 2008 with a 1998 Abbey County Stafford - loved caravanning but the layout wasnt right for us so 6 weeks later changed it for a 2004 Sterling Eccles Amethyst (I modified it to make a fixed bed at the back) At the end of this month we are changing to a 2005 Bailey Pageant Series 5...

thanks Diane - will definately be happy caravanning, finally found the caravan we want after 6 months of searching

Hi Damien, thanks for the welcome - I did wonder where my post had gone lol

We went to Kingsbury in April as a base for a visit to the NEC - lovely site and we are definately going to go back there again. Was about 20 mins from the NEC, 10 mins from Drayton Manor (we went and got soaked on the water ride lol) and about 10 mins from a large shopping centre at Tamworth...

Hi We have a Sterling Eccles Amethyst (2004). It has the L shaped front lounge and the diner at the back. We tend to make the bed up at the back and leave it made up as there is plenty of room at the front to relax in. It has the seperate shower which I used on our last trip and although it...

We are going to Somerset tomorrow and decided we wanted to stop somewhere for a couple of nights on the way back home. We were lucky to get pitches on a site near Birmingham for the 22/23 August and that was after a long search through the site books, searching on the internet and on the phone...

Hi I never thought of using the bar that the table fixes to. Where did you get the brackets from? Thanks Lynne

Hi thanks for all your suggestions. Have been mooching round the shops this afternoon and found myself a small folding table that will be ideal and wont be in the way of the bathroom door, so dont need to be worrying about trying to fix anything to the wall!!

Any ideas anyone????

Hi all, do the satellite dishes work with freeview or do you have to have a sky box?

We have just been away in our Sterling Eccles Amethyst and I found when the bad is up at the back of the caravan there is nowhere to put stuff eg clock, glasses (reading) etc. Does anyone know where I can get a small shelf suitable for fixing in a caravan? Thanks

We have just returned from Ladycross Plantation - we were there for a week. Maybe the warden has changed but we didnt have any problems at all. We went with family and were able to pitch our vans so our awnings were together and park next to our caravans without a problem. We had 2 girls with...

Hi all, we are looking at sites in the Whitby area and have made a shortlist of possiblities including Ladycross. Why do people not like this particular site? We are new to caravanning and any comments would be very useful in helping us make a decision.
