Thanks Damian It does help- we would have bought the wrong one without your advice! Sue

Hi all We usually leave our water pump in the sink when not in use but last week we got a surprise when we got to the site & the pump wasn't there! Neither of us can remember what we did with it, as it is a while since we last used the van. After hunting all over, we are resigned to buying a...

I don't know the figures for this (so I apologise in advance if I'm wrong) but it seems to me that the vast majority of sites are for families and only a handful are for adults only. I would be the last person to stop children caravanning but is that really what is happening? As I said, I have...

I agree with Craig. I work with children all week & don't see why I'm a "sour old git" because I want a break from them occasionally. When we take our 6-year-old grandson with us, he isn't badly-behaved and is supervised all the time but he is often very noisy (singing, laughing etc.) I would...

Hi all We bought our van off Ebay and are still pleased with it after our first season. I think we were willing to risk it because we didn't want to pay too much until we were sure we liked caravanning. We looked round lots of dealers for 6 months for a van between

Hi I think the group is called Tranquil Touring Parks. We've just spent the weekend at Croft Park at Little Weighton which is one of their sites. We'd certainly go there again & are going to try some of the others next year. Sue

Hi Dave Look on the equipment & accessories forum under "uncomfortable beds" for discussions on memory foam. Regards Sue

Sorry to have alarmed you Mike! The noisy teenagers were on a different site. (sigh of relief...)We booked Naburn Lock on the recommendation of someone I work with. I would certainly go again to stay in the "adult" bit. I did have some slight reservations about the family bit. When we were...

Hi Peter Naburn Lock near York has an adult-only section and a family section. They do share the same facilities though. It's a nice site if you like the family atmosphere but want somewhere quiet to escape to. Our last trip was ruined by noisy teenagers & we've been looking at adult sites...

Hi Anne We use memory foam mattress toppers & find them very comfortable. There has been a lot of discussion about this in the past & you can use the search option to find out everyone else's suggestions. I bought ours off ebay & they were cheaper than others I've seen. I bought 2 single bed...

Put me down for membership! As an ex flower-child I think I would qualify. Sue

Thanks everyone I think we will try Clumber Park first as it is the nearest to us. Is the weather ever going to improve though?? Sue

Hi all We took our 5-year-old grandson for his first trip in a touring caravan last week. Unfortunately, it poured with rain the whole time! We managed to enjoy ourselves in spite of this but he still prefers his other grandparents' static caravan at Scarborough. I'm determined to convert him...

Thanks for all your suggestions. In the end I got a Shinco DVD player like yours Mark. I think the picture is excellent & the sound is also good. The only reservation I have is that it makes quite a loud whirring noise as the disc goes round. Frank says they all do that but I've never noticed it...

Thanks Martin That's just what we needed to know! Sue
