That has an Aus/NZ look to it?

That's near the Redwither Industrial Estate, I work there most weeks. It's a nice part of the world but when it rains it seems to come upwards, sideways and downwards!!!!!!

He sits in it to warm up. In all seriousness I'm yet to find anything caravan related that's a bargain!

Personally I'm quite happy to put the cruise control on at 56 mph and follow a line of HGV's. I tend to find life less stressful when I take a more leisurely pace!

Wow, we stayed there back in 2016, the first week of the Leicestershire school summer holidays (so a week before most other places) and it was busy then. A nice site from memory with a stream running through it.

I get it at least once a year, usually when they knock on the door asking if I want my driveway doing (it's gravel and a bit scruffy so attracts them like a magnet). All I do it ensure my security items are fitted properly. To be fair though when I tell them it isn't for sale they don't push...

A cleaner version here: https://ebay.us/m/VfAuFi This one appears to be compatible with BOTH bolt patterns.

See here (this one's rough mind you!): https://ebay.us/m/rjdpEG

When the Alko stabiliser hitch was first introduced as a accessory/replacement part there were TWO variants, one with the bolts both in the horizontal plane (as on the one you have bought) and one with the bolt holes opposed (as on your caravan). The one you have won't fit unfortunately. The...

Purely speculative but given the weight and aerodynamics of a motorhome I'd suspect there wouldn't be much difference to towing a trailer caravan behind an EV passenger car?

There was a post on here or over on CT where someone purchased the Reich gauge and found it was miles out which put me off. I suppose it could well have been how he was using it though. With UK payloads being so tight even a weighbridge tolerance band could you see you unknowingly overweight...

Same here. All I do is upgrade the MTPLM as far as possible and weigh everything that goes into the caravan. I'd love a set of the Reich scales but have read some reports of inaccuracy when being used.

I think that quite a bit of caravan-sales-downturn is purely levels returning to pre-COVID but folks are attributing it to unknown future events. I also think a knock-on effect of returning to earlier times is biting some of the club's pitch occupancy forecasts? I drove down to Brighton on...

Our caravan is just over a year old and car just under a year old, we plan to retire next September, the car will then have just over 30,000 miles on it. We were/are going to hold onto both until the reach around 6 years old then make some decisions on what to do. Our current house has plenty...

Yes! I had snow socks for several years while driving RWD Mercedes (both C-Class estates). They are excellent and got me out of trouble several times as the Mercs used to really struggle in even the slightest bit of snow. They are size-specific for tyres with no adjustability, they're a bit...
