    First Trip with No EHU

    Well thanks for all your advice and encouragement. We spent 4 days and 3 nights at Chatsworth and had a great time. The good lady wasn't keen on her new 12v hair dryer but apparently the straighteners did the job. We didnt use the TV at all whilst there but had everything we needed and certainly...

    Lunar Caravans.....In Administration

    Understood but normally these issues leak out and if a PLC company was involved then they would have to alert the city to potential problems by issuing a Profit Warning. First ever caravan for me and ironically it was my second choice but fingers crossed.

    Lunar Caravans.....In Administration

    Whilst my thoughts are with the workers laid off, I can not but feel anything other than contempt for the board at Lunar and perhaps some dealers who would have known. Administration does not happen overnight and yet they would have been selling right up to the 11th hour

    Where does it end!!!

    Thanks Craig. Looked at these as a solution but insurers want both wheels locked to the chassis using the receivers? Suspect it may be worth adopting your option though and increasing me premium a little bit. I suspect this would also be a quicker and easier option when at Service stations etc

    Where does it end!!!

    Hi, Me again! Love reading this Forum, although my good lady is convinced that every time I read it I end up spending more money! So, we picked up our new van (Lunar Quasar 674 on 8th of March and already had a good weekend with only minor hitches. I never looked at a twin axle van as I always...

    Little green tool

    I picked up my very first van last Friday. During the handover the guys could not get the 13 pin to connect to my car's socket. After many attempts a discussion was held between the 2 guys handing over and a green cap was called for. I watched them use it and they explained that the pins were...

    Storage Costs (Newbie seeking guidance!)

    Thanks all. Craig the £12 a week cost is the Coates site. Treble 9 has some poor reviews and the one Cassoa site in the area isnt responding to emails or calls. The good thing with Coates site is that although expensive it will serve my needs until I find an ideal site (Ranah Stones ideal but...

    Storage Costs (Newbie seeking guidance!)

    Good Afternoon, Have tried searching the forum but any reference to costs for storage appear to be a bit dated. I am weighing up options for storing my new van when she arrives and wondering if there is any standards as far as costs are concerned. Have 2 current options the first being on a...
