We have a Swift Challenger 540 and are considering buying a Fiamma Zip Awning for it. The issue I have is whether a 4.1m version will fit comfortably on our van or if it is just a wee bit too long.......it is the slight curve which begins just above and to the front of the door that concerns me...

Hi Joe. We find tht Led lights are a kinda cold light, so if you want cool, then perhaps that is just the ticket. We use a low energy lightbulb (globe type) in an overhead pendant light with a nice shade, which we hang over the table making it quite a nice atmosphere in the awning in the...

Hi Walt. Thank you for your information, you are very kind. We definately plan on a visit to these places from what we have seen so far. I am so pleased with the overall response to our request for information, and it is a great help to us. That website is also a very interesting site thank...

Hi Julie Thank you for your response to my post. We hope you have a lovely holiday in Brittany when you go there. The weather is something we just hve to accept wherever we go huh, but here's hoping for all of us. We are travelling to Roscoff from Plymouth, but will make the trip to St Malo...

Hello John M. Thank you for taking the time to respond to our question, it is very kind of you. We are taking it all onboard while planning the trip, and it is a great help you have given us too. We visited Mont St Michel last year while staying near Bayeaux and found it a most fabulous...

Hi Nick, Thank you very much for that information, it really is invaluable to us. I will be spending the weekend pouring over the map and guide books as well as the internet too ofcourse, soaking up as much as possible about the places you have listed. We will be travelling with Camping...

Hi Nick. Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. We have been to France four times in the last five years, but always just settled into two sites on each visit, so not moving around too much. This time we intend to travel more, but concentrating in...

We are visiting Brittany in late August and early September for three weeks. We have been to France a few times, but never to Brittany. It is often referred to as a beautiful area with lots of gorgeous scenery and lovely villages and towns, but as it is our first time we do not have a clue...

Hi Gill. Thank you for your reply. We were going to stay on a site about 30 minutes drive from the docks. Not much sense in that really as we would need to be up so early, upsetting other holidaymakers in the process, and of course not really getting the full benefit from staying on a site...

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for your reply. I have had my tape measure on the side of the van so many times, I am demented. I was thinking the same as you about the weight, and the 3.6 seemed a good option. We have a Swift Challenger 540, so the door is just to the rear of the lounge window. I...

Hi folks, We are travelling to Brittany in late August, returning in September and going/returning Plymouth/Roscoff. We have never done this route before. After we found out last year about being able to camp out on the dockside at Caen to await the early ferry it occurred to us that it might...

Hi folks, We are considering changing our porch awning for a Fiamma Canopy/Zip Awning/Privacy Room. The whole thing seems so versatile even if it is a bit expensive. The Zip is quite a bit more expensive than the Privacy Room, and the only difference I can see is the system of connecting the...

Hi Jo. We stayed on this site last summer for 10 days, and it was fab. We had a full service pitch right at the back of the site which is the newest part, and the toilets etc in that area are new too of course. The pool is fabulous, clean and just a very nice area with the bar/restaurant...

Hi. Can you give us some more details about the situation at Roscoff port if you are staying overnight before the early ferry. Do we need to seek prior permissions to do this, or is it ok just to turn up and get parked up for the night on the quay? We sailed last year from Caen and chose to...

Hi Carol and Pete I agree wholeheartedly with Peter. Mayday from the Caravan club gets you breakdown service from Green Flag, and it is a cracking deal. Read up on it in their brochure, or in the Club literature - it is by far the best cover you can have in the UK, and a Great Price right...
