looking for a site suitable for 2 adults 2 you kids 5 and 3, close by entertainment. obviously sea side for the kids. other than that just electric. i'll checkout the two suggestions so far. cheers

any suggestions for a site on the east coast (within 120 miles of rotherham preferably) quite a lot are booke up, how early do you need to book? i hadn't thought about it untill yesterday!!! i think i will start booking for next year aswell!!! cheers, Gav

well folks just got home about half hour a go, no dramas whatsoever. reversing isn't hard, i got it after the third attempt, i even reversed the van onto the drive!!!! levelling the van was a bit of a bind as i didnt have a level and had to use a bottle of water, old trick i used to use with a...

ive just bought a 90 ish corvette, replace a couple of bits, and put a new carpet in. we're going away this w/end for the forst time, its cost me 800 quid. now i know its not going to last forever but if i get next year, as many w/ends as i like, in it then i reckon i will have saved loads and...

well, theres about half a sleep to go(just got in from work) and i'm beside my self with excitement!!!! will post the results of my first caravan trip after the weekend.

we'll probably not get too many nights this year but as soon as the weather picks up nxt year we'll be away every w/end!!!

di, i'm a kid at heart, actually 4 years old not the 33 that's on my birth certificate, even my daughter gets fed up of me bieng excited and she's 5!!! i don't tend to name vehicles, well not names that are printable!! chris, i'm off to the showground in meggies. i see you are familiar with...

7 sleeps to go!! as some of you may know, i'm new to caravanning and me, wife, 5yr old daughter and 3yr old niece are off on our first trip next w/end. were only off to cleethorpes for 2 nights. the van is and oldish one but its our first trip as a family and the daughter loves camping!! all...

good tip, ive got the same heater and ive got a dremmel!!! will be looking at that when the cold weather comes!

a smallish safe somewhere in the boot or engine bay. i drive a range rover so theres ample places to stash a small safe in the engine bay and even if the car gets nicked if its then found its unlikely a joy rider will be looking under the bonnet!!

it does help, although i didnt realise theres websites you can go get the sizes from!!! thats just so easy why didnt i think of that!! cheers

looking to get an awning for a 1990 ish swift corvette but dont know what size shape or anything about em. so if anyone knows the size i need that'd be great. i have read how to measure them but not knowing the correct size i dont know if i'm on the right lines etc. cheers

it doesnt have to be cleethorpes but the coast is essential as the 5yr old is addicted to sandcastles and sea!! i'm from rotherham so doncaster wouldnt really be a 'holiday' unless the global warming types are correct and its gets a move on!!! it might be worth a look tho if space is limited on...

anyone know a site in cleethorpes but not the thorpe park site as they want 130 for next bank hol fri to sunday night. i know they offer the entertainment but i dont want or need that so i dont want to pay for it! just want to test the newly aquired van so its convenient to go to cleethorpes...

if you want to run mostly 240 stuff i would go for a small generator, if you get a honda one there are lpg conversion kits available so you can run it from a gas bottle. that way all you have to find gas and not mess around with diesel or petrol. if you do get a diesel generator consider running...
