    Caravan Sites like Truck Stops

    Quote: James didn't just post about side of site parking, he pitched in with untoward comment on car and caravan choice. I have no recollection of doing that. It would be better if people read and understood what was posted rather than assume they were being attacked. What is it about...

    Caravan Sites like Truck Stops

    Graham I read our last post about people not telling you what to do so get a life, whatever that means. So why do you want to tell me what I should do? I really do not care what type of caravan is being towed, that is not the point at all. The timing is hardly the point either, but having my...

    Caravan Sites like Truck Stops

    Thankyou Pat. That was the only point of my original post on this topic. If you are well past retiring age and live in the quiet of the countryside surrounded by vines as I do, the noise of large diesel engines seems oppressive. I was merely suggesting that it would be nice if heavy...

    Caravan Sites like Truck Stops

    It must be about a year since I last visited this forum, which I found to be intolerant and unfriendly. I posted this topic to see if anything had changed and sadly it has not. I guess this is why we no longer live in the UK. Forum membership should be a pleasant exchange of useful...

    Caravan Sites like Truck Stops

    If some of you were to read my original post, you would see that I was simply suggesting that noisy vehicles would be better parked in a dedicated parking area, so that those who come in at 1 am or go out early in the morning do not disturb other campers. I am merely suggesting that camping...

    Thankyou for your thoughtful and so helpful suggestions. I am quite content with my life as it is thanks. Are abusive comments tolerated on this forum then?

    Caravan Sites like Truck Stops

    We are on the Costa Blanca and surrounded by twin axle caravans with big 4WD vehicles. It would be great if these could be parked in a parking area rather than constantly making us feel we are parked in the middle of a bus depot. Why do these awful vehicles need to be so noisy? They are more...

    Book or not

    Hi Geoff, Most of the Spanish sites from the Costa Blanca southwards are open all year, but tend not to take winter bookings. A lot of popular sites sites can be very busy then, but last winter were quieter than they have been for many years, so you should have no problem getting in. It is...

    motorhome or caravan

    Hi Brian, We are just changing to a caravan from a motorhome, after 20 years of those, the last 12 wintering mainly in Spain. The reason is really because we don't want two vehicles now we don't have far to travel and our Motorhome was UK registered so had to go, as we are now resident in...

    Liberal Democrat Tax Proposals

    So the Liberal Democrats seem to be offering a £2000 per year tax on 4 x 4 vehicles. If that were ever to happen a lot of caravanners would be very unhappy, wouldn't you say?
