Just returned from a 2000 mile tour around France with twin axle Fleetwood. More stable when towing, easier to reverse, more difficult to level (Transverse), impossible to turn by hand. But give me the extra space and comfort any-day. I always inform site in advance if poss. Let me know how you...

A saving of 10p per litre has now been mentioned on national ITV 3 news. This has been based on a scheme currently running in Holland. So sign up now and be part of an organisation that will have real clout against the fuel giants.

Travelling behind a HGV at 53mph you should allow about 60 metres space, even at this distance a certain ammount of slip-streaming will provide a car/caravan a slight "tow" effect caused by the air rushing to fill the vacuum the truck is constantly making. As Shiraz said, he saw no problem with...

At last Mike you have picked up on something all HGV drivers have always known. HGV trucks must have there tachographs calibrated every two years, Speed limiters on new vehicles are set to 85kph (53mph) And tacho's are liable to be inspected by any Police officer. So apart from some foreign...

OK I said I'd give my opinion after reading some of yours. I've always firmly believed that buying a caravan was always a compromise, what is essential to me is an irrevalence to someone else, manufacturers have to work to this remit as well. Whilst trawling around for our latest caravan, we...

So Bailey have been awarded Range of the year with their Senator series 5. Do you agree with the decision. Try to be objective with your answers. I will give my opinion after seeing some of yours.

Going to Moreton next weekend. 2nd or 3rd time in as many years. Excellent site for access to town, shops etc. as already mentioned mainly hard standings, most with hook-ups, TV aerial sockets in elec. posts ( take a length of coax aerial) Try to park away from road side of site (traffic noise)...

Next summer we are intending to make an extended tour in Europe. I am looking for a nice site near Villach on the Autrian/Italian border to break up the long journey from Vienna to lake Garda. Sites with large pitches would be required to accommodate an 8 metre twin axle caravan. We prefer the...

After two trips with a new caravan, I have noticed a small scorch mark on the outer casing of the grey plug. The fridge is working OK whilst travelling, and the 12v battery is charging OK. It has been suggested that the centre pin needs opening up to obtain a better contact, has any other reader...

Hi madeleine If you go to www.pagesjaunes.fr/pj.cgi?lang=en Then enter VETS in the Business type box and TROYES in city box, you will see a list of French vets who carry out treatment for PETS paperwork, along with addresses and maps. When you receive the necessary treatment on your pet...

Hi Maddy 2 years ago i stayed at site near Joinville (south of challons). I think it was called something like Forge de St marie. Anyway on the outskirts of Joinville in a new Zone Industrial is a vet who is fully conversant in the PETS scheme. I used him in the morning before continuing to...

We are thinking of buying a new Heritage 640-CB. The main selling point being the Alde programmable central heating system. Does anybody have knowledge of this system and its good or bad points. many thanks
