We did take our motorhome over to France and Spain a few years ago which was great we done a 6 week tour and the parking was excellent we were able to take the van out and park in aires etc without any issues the only problem was it was a pain having to pack everything away each day before we...

Thanks for the welcome. We bought our motorhome 4 years ago as our previous caravan a Compass was 13 years old and needed some work (the body had began to come away from the chassis) we had always fancied a motorhome so decided to go for it and got a really good deal on the Autotrail we bought...

Hi all Just thought I'd say hello I used to be a regular poster on here but four years ago we swapped our caravan for a motorhome. After four enjoyable years of motorhoming we are going back to a caravan we pick up next week. Our new van is a 2018 Lunar Cosmos 544 and We have just bought a 59...

Hi has anyone ever been to the above site near Lourdes in the French pyrenees. We are thinking of spending a few days here next year as we are going to meet up with friends. Could anyone tell me what the site is like and how easy it is to get to etc. Many Thanks

Hi We went to the Isle of Wight last year and stayed at the Orchards site and it was very good. The site had an indoor and outdoor swimming pool as well as an on site takeaway which served good food at a reasonable price. You get good views across the countryside and all in all it was a very...

Hi I had a 2004 Ford Mondeo 2.0tdci 130 bhp for 3 years and it was a great car I don't have a bad word to say about it. It was a very capable towcar and we used it to tow to France a couple of times and also down to the Isle of Wight as well as all over the UK and it never gave us a bit of...

Hi We went to Camping La Bien Assise last year and it was a very good site and easy to get to from the ferry or the tunnel. The site has a nice poolside area and a great bar selling very nice food. The toilets and showers were very clean and the pitches were very spacious.

Hi Yeah I have weighed up the pros and cons but I bought it anyway lol. I decided that I WANTED another 4x4 I did have a Frontera years ago and loved it and then I had a couple of normal cars but I always missed the 4x4. The one I have bought is very nice and has full service history etc so I...

Hi I currently tow with a Ford Mondeo and it has caused me no problems however my local garage has got a nice Isuzu trooper in and I have been tempted by it. Has anyone got any experience of towing with one of these cars the one I am looking at is a 3.0 litre diesel and I am wondering what...

Hi As has already been said it is quite easy to get on and off the ferry. We first took the van on the ferry to France 3 years ago and I was quite nervous to begin with but it was no problem I have quite a large caravan and never had any problems with grounding etc. Just take it easy going up...

Hi Sorry to jump in on this discussion but we are off to the IOW in a couple of days we are off to the Orchards and are getting the ferry to Fishbourne do any of you know how long the journey is from Fishbourne to the campsite. Many Thanks!

Hi Thanks to everyone for there replys. I ended up buying an awning from Glossop caravans they were brilliant and gave a 1st class service. We got the full awning plus the annex for a very reasonable price so I am happy with that. Many Thanks!

Hi We arrive on a Thursday!

Hi We are off to the Isle of Wight next week we are staying at the Orchards Caravan Club AS site I have read the directions given in the club site book and they seem pretty straightforward but could someone who has been to this site give some more detailed directions e.g directions from the...

Hi Thanks to everyone for the advice. The awning I was looking at, at Glossop has been sold I phoned about it yesterday and I had just missed it however they have another one in stock that fits my van so hopefully I can get that one and might be able to find an annex extension to fit. Many...
