Hi We are looking at getting one of these porch awnings such as the Dorema Magnum 390 ~£280 from towsure and others, Similar awnings can be found on Ebay for ~£140, has anyone bought one of these cheaper awnings?, is there a good reason that the Dorema awning is twice the price?. Gary

Hi, After selling our last caravan 4 years ago we have re-entered the game, going halves with my mum, selling her 13' two berth and getting a 2008 Bailey Senator Indiana (stolen / recovered for just £6750, needed new skylight and some glue on the wheelarch) I doubt we will be towing it far...

How do you do paragraphs on this forum!

."For domestic installations the resistance from any 13A outlet to earth must not exceed 0.4 ohms under certain conditions, and (IMSMC) 0.15 ohms normally" What part of 17th edition is this? If the tech was doing an earth loop test and it was a TT (earth rod) supply, then 10 ohms is actually...

Thanks for the feedback, having looked around, the Terrano's seem to be a bit cheaper than the Shoguns but so many seem to be auto's, I once drove an Orion auto years ago - horrible and I was recenly a passenger in a Galaxy auto, again, horrible, always in the wrong gear and couldn't decide...

Hello, I'm back again Though we have decided to leave the world of caravanning, having bought a boat that we'll launch from the beach and been snowed in two years running (We have a long track to the main road) we have decided to buy a 4x4 as a second car As the car will be used very little...

PS The food we saw in Brittany was eye wateringly expensive and quality was, at best indifferent, at one restaurant, admittedly on Mont st Michael the main courses were about 24 euros and would have been turned away in a uk transport cafe, we walked out before ordering.

Good one Val, but I think you've been watching too much "Benidorm" while the rain keeps you in your caravan. Our allinc' trip to Turkey last year in late August was a little worrying at the airport with the beer swilling union jack shorts crew present but fortunately they got on a different bus...

By the time everythings loaded for us & 3 kids, the wife's had enough, by the time I've driven to the site, Iv'e had enough (and theres still the awning to erect). After two weeks of indifferent weather in Brittany I can honestly say I would have enjoyed myself more and be far less stressed if...

Some tests have found the S-max to be the better of the two as it has more "sports" suspension, we tow a lexon 640 with ours and it is very stable, solo it handles like no mpv should, I've had GTIs in the past and the s-max handles like a 7 seat GTI, just stuff it into the corners and it goes...

I utterly HATE rear fog lights! the closest I came to a crash in fog was caused by the glare from the rear fog lights on the car in front swamping the brake and indicator lights so that when the car indicated and braked to turn right, I failed to see anything but the glare from the fog lights, I...
