Sorry for the 2 replies....I thought the first had been deleted Have a good one

Hi We stayed at the site next to where you are going and we drove through Annecy with our 4x4 towing a twin axle 'van and had no problem, and it was busy. There is a steep hill you need to climb so just keep as much distance infront as you can before you pull off - avoiding as many hill starts...

Hi Yes we went to Annecy 3 years ago to the site next door to where you are going. We did go through Annecy and it is fine, we were in a 4x4 towing a twin axle 'van and had no problem. There is a steep hill going in but give yourself plenty of room to the car in front so to avoid to many...

Thanks for the link - I've emailed them so hopefully they can help out.

Hi Everyone We have just purchased a new Quest blenhiem awning and the only annexe available does not have an internal zipped doorway so is open to the rest of the awning. The better half wants to take our old annexe and sew in a zip to math the new awning so we can use that. The question is...

We're off Christmas Eve for 5 nights with two other 'vanners to a site just outside Scarborough. All in our awning for Christmas dinner (it's the biggest) and a couple of heaters to keep us warm. Boxing day on the beach with the dogs to run off the day's before excess!! Hope the roads up...

Thank you all for your comments and advice - though sometimes contradictory. I think I will air on the side of caution and stick with my bucket and sponge and Muck Off which I've always used. Just thought the pressure washer would save me some time.

Hi I was just looking for peoples opinions on using a presure washer to clean the 'van? would you recommend it or not? are the seals around the windows strong enough to take the pressure...or any other comments you may have on this matter? Many thanks

Hi All Well we are off to Yorkshire on Christmas Eve for 5 nights in the caravan with 2 sets of friends in theirs. First time winter caravanning and really looking forward to it. I've bought an insulated jacket for the water barrell, checked all the pipes are ok and think we are set. The...

I take my battery of the van when not using it for a while and put it on my C-TEK charger in the shed. The battery is a Banner 110 ah and my question is should i take the 6 caps off to the let it vent, or should I leave them on?

"Muck Off" is the way to go - easy to use and very effective

Thanks all for the advice. It was very windy so guess it just blew out the flame. Where do I get these winter covers you are mentioning from?

Yes very windy but both day and night,though more so at night. Maybe that was the cause then?

Sorry, yes should've mentioned that first. Thetford 107 litre, not sure on model number but it has a small electronic display showing the fuel type in use and a bar chart for the coolness. Hope this helps

Hi Just returned from a 4 night non hook up stay so had to use the fridge on the gas supply but during the night it kept failing, but would re ignite simple by switching it off and then back on again. During the day it seemd to run fine. The caravan is a Swift Charisma 620 and I'm running on...
