    Leaking Shower

    Many thanks for your advice -my husband thinks it is the cartidge too, so we will get some stop ends as a stop gap (excuse the pun!) until we get hold of a cartridge.

    Leaking Shower

    I have a 2 year old Avondale Landranger 6400 and water has started flowing out of the shower handle (where you turn it on and adjust the temperature). It means that we can't use any other taps without water pouring out of the shower till we get it fixed and we are supposed to be going away in a...

    Why Some Prefer Adult Sites

    We recently stayed at Naburn Lock near York and they have a field sectioned off for adults only. This worked really well and allowed everyone access to all the facilities, but meant that those of us who didn't have children could sit peacefully outside our vans without being disturbed by...

    Calling all dog owners, Whats your opinion?

    We always take our two dogs away with us, in fact that is why we bought a caravan, and we always clean up after the dogs, wherever we are. We even clear up their mess if it is in the middle of the woods where people (especially children) would not get to. This is because our dogs have...

    CL/SMALL SITE RECOMMENDATIONS

    I agree with you Ann. We much prefer to use smaller, quieter sites, but we are also lazy and like to use fully serviced pitches! The difficulty is that you rarely find fully serviced pitches on small sites, never mind CLs. I'd love to hear from anyonw who knows of any, particularly in the...

    We bought our breadmaker whilst we were away in the caravan and used it without any problems.

    London Area Sites October Half Term

    We have just returned from a week at a site in Hurley with our two dogs - see http://www.higgsgroup.co.uk/hurley/ I really liked the site - a 20 minute walk alongside the river Thames takes you into the village of Hurley which has several pubs. Marlow (1 1/2 hrs) and Henley (2 1/2 hrs) can also...

    Recommend a Vacuum cleaner

    Hi Colin, when we first started we had a lightweight long-handled vaccuum which didn't really do a brilliant job. Then recently we bought 'The Hunter' from Home-tek - it is compact and does an excellent job, and has all the necessary attachments. If you search the web you will find them for...

    Seasonal site for 2006

    Try Shardoaroba at http://www.shardaroba.co.uk/default.htm I spent a weekend there recently - ideally located for walking the dogs with a nature walk just across the road and several walking trails in the area. I think they do seasonal pitches. It can get quite busy at weekends through the...

    Tips for Selling my Caravan

    I recently had my van (lunar lexon with fixed bed) for sale with caravanfinder.co.uk for about 10 weeks, and with autotrader for 2 weeks. Sold it through autotrader the day before I was due to trade it in! I think sometimes it's just a matter of the right people looking for your type of van at...

    Sunncamp Scenic Plus?

    Hi Andrew, we got one a month or so ago and wouldn't go back to our old porch awning now. Really easy to put up and plenty of space inside. The only downside is that there is nothing to hold the awning against the side of your van when it gets windy other than the pegs holding down the bottom...

    Transferring Powrtouch Mover

    Thanks for that - the vans are both twin axles and my husband is a builder so he should be able to manage the weight. We will just need to see what has been done to the cables when we take it off our current van.

    Transferring Powrtouch Mover

    Has anyone any experience of transferring a Powrtouch Motor mover from one van to another? Our new van arrives soon and we would like to transfer the mover from our current van onto the new one, but don't know whether it is easy enough to do this yourself or whether we would need to get a...
