    Driving with photo-chromatic transition lenses.

    I also have the full works except my distance prescription is 0.95 so no difference with or without. Its UV light that makes my glasses darken. Most car windscreens remove much of the UV so the glasses don't get as dark as they do outside.

    Latest HMG Bulletin on towing

    To be honest seeing the state of some trailers a MOT type test might not be a bad idea.

    Latest HMG Bulletin on towing

    Personally if I was taking the caravan to the mainland I would register it. Cuts out any possible hassle. You would hate yourself if you decided not to register and then got stopped because it wasn't registered.

    Buying and selling

    A thought. How about creating a Market Place that only signed in members can view. this would reduce the risk for those that wish to post contact details. Having said that I would still use a "disposable" email address if I were to post.

    Sahara rainfall?

    Wish we had, we are down to about 600litres left in our water storage, that's about 2 weeks at most before we run out and have to resort to a hose😱

    Is the CAMC UK Route Planner fine to use?

    I've just put in a route that 95% of satnavs for other than cars get wrong. No surprise it gets it wrong and directs down a very small road with a 6'6" width limit. Anyone want to try it, it's to Gear Farm near Helford coming from somewhere not on the lizard. If it takes you round Mawgan creek...

    Washing a Caravan on a CAMC site…

    Yes, in fact it will be done tomorrow before going back under it's cover. I do use a lot of microfibre cloths, 10-15 for a small sports car. Once a year it gets a full valet and polish from the local detailing company usually just before it's winter hibernation.

    90-120 watt constant power draw with nothing on?

    On mine the 12v is still connected to the fridge control panel even with the master switch by the door off.

    MTPLM - crikey

    I use the same weighbridge even though it's miles from home as it's on our way out. Since the first revision it's been within 10kg every time.

    MTPLM - crikey

    I worked out my load added it to the MIRO, loaded the van and went to the weighbridge. It was then I found out that the published MIRO wasn't within 70kg of the actual weight of the van as on the weighbridge it was 70kg over the MTPLM. Moral of this is the only way you can tell whether you are...

    I always wanted a Rapide, a friend had one that was slightly modified and it would out handle a Ford Escort with ease.🫣

    In the days before they expanded it used to be said of VAG cars that: Volkswagen were for normal people Audi were for people with more money than sense Skoda were for people with more sense than money. Now there are too many brands under that umbrella for that to work.
