Our last trip away was to a CC site and we always follow the 12:00 rule. On the Sunday we left the site at 11:15, we eventually cleared the site entrance at 12:30!!! The CC site we stayed at had a single lane to the entrance, it wasn't really that long, probably 40 foot but because around 15...

HI Everyone, We have recently bought a series 5 Bailey Senator Louisiana, we are really pleased with the van and the layout is perfect for us. Stored under the fixed bed is a fairly long cushion. I thought at first that the main mattress could be pulled down and that this cushion could infill...

Hi Steve, Its ok, very sloping, decent views, not a nice tow as quite a lot of lanes but Dale is very pretty and great if you like water sports. Also a boat trip to Skomer island goes from Martins haven which is about 4/5 miles from the site. Hope this helps Ian

Hi, We stay at the site all the time. Although there is nothing appart from a toilet block, not even any hard standings, it is my favourite site. The views from most pitches are of Carn Llidi mountain which is an amazing walk, if your fit enough. You can also walk down to Whitesands Beach which...

Hi chris, We had the same discovery this time last year. We bought a rodent deterant from Argos for

We have also just bought an Ultima 260. Will be using it for the week Feb half term. It seems a great bit of kit for the price. Tightness against the van doesn't bother me. We had an NR porch and even with the pole in heavy winds you would get wind coming through the sides. Every porch will...

Ooops didn't see your reply. Sorry Ian

Hi the yellow lever should be flat not up - here is a pic of it in drain mode. Ian

Hi Sam, We had this dilema a few months back. You don't mention whether you have an Alko stabiliser, or maybe you did but i didnt read properly. We bought a Saracen hitchlock for ALKO stabiliser. It can be fitted Hitched or Unhitched and takes only about 5 mins max. It is insurance approved...

Hi Rob, We were very close to getting a twin axle. You have much more space and added stability when towing. BUT, we store the van and even with a motor mover we would never get it into the space. Also, if you intend to visit France a lot of site's we have been to either don't allow twins...

Hi Rob, We had the same sort of criteria as you, we decided to change our challenger 500 for a year old Ace Award Tristar. Single axle with bed along the back, which is really comfy and bigger than the swifts. Centre washroom with large separate shower. Centre kitchen with plenty of space. L...

Interesting, a few weeks back the kitchen window had pool of water in the aluminium frame, I was concerned it was leaking so using a hose pipe i blasted the frame. Nothing could be a better test than this. There was absolutely no leak. However, the front window had condensation where the sun was...

HI Seth, What van do you have and what age is it ? Also is it a Truma heater or Carver ?? I would definitely say it was excessive but then if there is no leaks and it has been checked I am also unsure what or where the problem lies. Ian

There is certainly a problem there Seth. We have the 6kg Calor lite and we have been away for a total of 7 nights since we had it and the level indicator is just below full. And that is with sub zero temperatures, the cooker, oven and grill used for breakfast, lunch and tea. The truma on gas at...

Thank you all for your replies. It seems it is no a one off problem then. I noticed earlier that even the new senators have the same windows. Although the new ace awards have gone back to the other type. I agree that the windows look nice but the condensation is a problem. It is worse in the...
