Just tried to book a week at Haven site Greenacres in North Wales and was told because I have an Avondale Argente 642-4 at 7.29 meters I would have to book a pitch and a half. Anyone come across this at these sites. Ian

I just got a pair of the suction cup type and they are the best I've ever used, recommended. No more stress when telling the missus to adjust the mirror on passenger side. Ian

Just bought my van in March this year brand new straight from the factory. My question is, should there be sealant showing all round the main seams around the roof and awning rails. And would it be ok to tidy it up by removing the excess? P.S I am talking really excessive. Thanks Ian
