We have taken our twin axle Caravan, Argente 650/6 for the last couple of years and would strongly recommend you select the all serviced pitches, as these are larger. The cost reflects the size on these pitches obviously! Access to the park is reasonably easy, but reversing onto the pitch can...

Thinking of leaving the Caravan at home this year and using a site supplied one, hence my question. Does anyone know of an internet site which offers overnight accomadation close to autoroutes (A1 & A10)?

Looking at forecasts on internet it seems France in general are having the same weather as we are! Anyone just come back and can update on just what was it like.... We are leaving for Landes at the weekend so info on this area would be appreciated.

We are again using Norfolk Line for our channel crossing this year, just wondered what red wine (Boxes) are on offer onboard. Last year was very good with 'Hardies' a good duty free buy, anyone know?

Not stayed at the site you are going too, but on the question of a route, in my opinion and more to the point my wifes as she instucts me on which way to go the AA site (www.theaa.com) is good. We have used instructions from them for the last 6 years, only problem the time given is not...

Simple question really, how do you remove/clean the black streaks that have appeared down my awning? They seem to have come from water running down the van, then onward down the awning.

Can anyone let us know what the current price per Ltr is at both Supermarkets and Aires Thanks

Mike, don't do it! We had the misfortune to go to Le Jard or Du Jard with the Caravan Club, never again. The site is amongst a housing estate which you must either walk through or drive through to get to the so called beach. I know it portrays the site having a beach across the road but...

Julie, Lots of people on this site are condemning seasonal pitches, let me put a different view on them. If you have a seasonal pitch then the 'Mad Friday Dash' to get a good pitch on the site you are visiting is a thing of the past. We leave home around 19:30Hrs when the traffic is getting...

Nidge, We stayed here: http://www.tourisme.fr/moulin-de-paulhiac/e_index.htm it is a nice site with very friendly owners. Pitch size was absolutely enormous with a view of a corn field at the rear, it was on the extremities of the park. If you consider this site my only negative is the...

Carolyn, I have it from a caravan dealer service agent, you are not required to have the Caravan serviced by the selling company, but you must have it serviced by an authorised registered caravan service agent. This said, any warrenty work required can NOT be carried out by the caravan service...

Has anyone stayed overnight at Dunkerque Cross Channel Ferry Port? If so what comments do you have including access and egress

Thanks for the tip about the tyres, I will check as we do a long run to France every year 2,500 round trip.

As anyone else suffered as we have with the Avondale Argente 650/6. We unfortunately own a 2004 model which presented cracks in both front and rear panels, the floor as delaminated and other smaller problems are too numerous to mention, inclusive of cushions at the rear end of the van. I wish...

Also, beware that most of the journeys you make on toll roads are timed. Time taken is calculated easily from time ticket issued to time you stop to pay, from the time taken your avaerage speed can be calculated, hence you can be fined by the Police on the spot if you have been speding!
