    Has anybody got the December 1999 back issue?

    Hi all, Bit of a long shot, but does anyone still have a copy of the December 1999 issue of P.C., I want it to read the write up they did on the Elddis Cyclone XL 5 berth. I'd happily send an S.A.E. to cover postage if they'd be willing to send it to me.... Fingers crossed! Elaine

    Hitch Lock alarm - seems like a FAB product.

    Hi guys, Obviously I didn't have my brain switched on when I mentioned the 'going off in the middle of the night' thing! Unless someone fancied nicking me and my family aswell as my caravan! To answer your questions - I have checked on the Xena website to be sure I'm telling you the right...

    Hitch Lock alarm - seems like a FAB product.

    Hi all, In my job as product buyer for my family-run motorcycle dealership, I came across a product that I think might not only appeal to motorcyclists but also caravan owners. I haven't tried one on my own 'van yet but fully intend to do so when we next get out. The only thing I think might...

    1993 Elddis Cyclone XL

    Hi all, I know it's a bit of a long shot, and going back some time, but does anyone know if I'll be able to read a review on my van anywhere? She's immaculate throughout, still, after all these years due to loving and careful care and I'm not thinking of selling her at ALL! But to read a review...

    Thank also to you James, for your comments, I've got a pretty good idea what to expect now, which I'm pleased to say is hopefully a good time! Thanks again. Best Regards Elaine

    'Littlesea', a Haven site in Weymouth, Dorset.

    Thanks so much Robin, for your very complete review, it certainly helps! We've been to many sites, CL's, private sites, commercial sites etc in the past but it's always nice to get a 'real' opinion from someone who has actually been there. I think half of the enjoyment comes from what you can...

    Hello new member here!

    Hi Sarah, Welcome to the heady world of caravanning! We love it, my husband and I have 10 and 6 year old daughters and own a fairly aged but pristine 1993 Elddis Cyclone XL, 5 berth caravan who we affectionately call 'Sally'! We've had her for 3 years now and she does everything we've always...

    'Littlesea', a Haven site in Weymouth, Dorset.

    Hi all, Happy New Year! Can anyone who has been to this site let me know more about their experience there? We've booked a seaview pitch for our July holiday because it just looks so great for the children but it's always nice to get some more opinions of sites people have been to. Any more...

    New member - fairly old outfit!

    I didn't mean YOU were being fussy Steve, by the way! I meant if anyone mentioned it, it's not obvious really, it's just a little thing and no-one has so far, except maybe a couple of customers of ours we'd seen in Wales once....no offence meant! I think I'd better run away and hide now....! Oops!

    It's not an advert, it's a sticker! And if having a Caravan Club sticker in the back window of a caravan isn't advertising, I don't know what is! What a fuss....

    BILLING AQUADROME - ANY GOOD?

    Oh My God, Pat. It was shocking! On arrival, all looked good. But then it seemed we had invaded a Travellers Encampment. The sheer amount of them was unbelievable. Within an hour of sitting in the awning on the first evening, we had to stop 2 of their kids stealing our kids bikes (they were...

    Hi Andrew, Seems you're happy with your choice, that speaks for itself really. We feel the same way about ours. Hope you have many happy years in your Abbey! Everything we've every wanted in a caravan in there in our Elddis. We never watch TV when we're away, as we prefer the children to get...

    Hi Valeter, We're chuffed to bits with our 'find'. We bought her from a dealer in Leicester about 18 months ago, and all we can think is that whoever had her before us loved her as much as we do. It's an all year round van, due to the blown air heating so we DO go out in winter, we usually...

    New member - fairly old outfit!

    The condition of our Sally speaks for iteslf when after 2 years of caravanning my sister has got through 5 vans to end up with the one she's got and my brothger in law still says ours is in mint condition and he'd love to find a 15 year old van that still looks pristine, in and out. My husband...
