Greetings, Just to add another dimension to this thread, there will be people who, in the past, have bought Camping Cheques in tandem with buying a crossing via the Caravan Club website. In the past (and I have been guilty of checking and double checking?) the C.C. have given very sharp deals...

My son lives on a new estate which is still under development. The covenants said no caravans no motorbikes etc. Within a short time after houses were sold the offending items started to appear on the drives. 5 years on he's not aware of anyone being asked to remove the vehicle. I guess unless...

Hi Again, Talking of interest, I have a theory (being a cynical old sod) that they also have it so that certain customers, instead of overpaying are underpaying so that they, (the customers) feel disinclined to change. After all, when changing the customer has to clear his or her sheet of...

Greetings, This thread has just got reaching for the slide rule (God!!! Am I THAT old???) I've just been calculating the load on my vehicle (AudiA6 Avant) with the the 'van attached and with an 85Kgs downforce on the ball. It works out at a load of 128Kgs on the back axle with a...

Greetings, The question asked of by Swift I think is indicative that they are thinking of moving the position of the Bottles ala Bailey. No problem with that providing that they do not go down the route of other manufacturuers (come to think of it, themselves included) who only fit gas...

Greetings, The easy? way of forcing their hand is to demand cash. Pure and simple. If they have the means to arrange for transportation, they have the means to arrange a cash payment. Oh! yes I forgot. It's a Scam

Greetings, As one (slightly incorrect as there were two of us?) who has used a 'van in winter I can say that a 6kg bottle gets used up at an alarming rate. Fortunately we were in Spain at the time so; 1. It wasn't as cold as it can get here, and 2. The price of gas in Spain isn't the 'rip...

Greetings Emmerson, Sorry I'm a bit late on this one but, having read every message on this thread, I'm amazed that no one on here has mentioned the obvious. Simply put, you are paying too much for your Electricity!!! Could I suggest that you arm yourself with your last two years worth of...

Greetings, Borrowed from 'Frederico' on UKCampsite when we were having a discussion on this very subject, "A-23 From Valencia on to A-68 signs for Madrid and Pamplona Join A-68. Come off at junction 33a Green sign 'Via Hispanidad' easy right turn. This becomes the A- 2 then N-11 Go up to...

Greetings, Can I add to the very comprehensive reply by Ray S, particularly on the subject of gas. Once up a time, not so long ago, it was difficult to obtain the bottles in Spain but that would seem to have changed. In the winter of 2011 (Feb) we were running out of UK gas while in Spain...

Hi All, The incident involving "Thetravellingrooster" brings up yet another anomoly regarding accidents. Assuming as he describes it his vehicle was not damaged in any way, and yet the 'other vehicle' folded like a polystyrene cup there would be no reason or indeed obligation for the other...

Greetings, And, as an aside to the original question but reading the way this thread is going; Once upon a time it was not uncommon for persons to drive the length of the country on their holidays with an untaxed, un MOT'ed vehicle by booking the vehicle in at the holiday destination for an...

Greetings, This is topic my mate and I were talking about last week. His four year old 'van, a swift has just had it's service and the dreaded damp has been found. He bought the 'van last year from a well known name (although not a Swift dealer) and the service record had two stamps in it...

Greetings, Whilst a screwdriver could do the job I think a flat bladed paint scraper with a width of about 1 and 1/2" would do the job better. There would be less chance of the awning rail flaring and showing where the pressure had been put on it.

Greetings, And, while you're 'at it', how about digging out for a 'Drop Down' security post to add yet another layer of security to hinder the thieving scumbags who take delight in stealing our pride and joys.
