    Using an onboard water tank

    Hi everyone We’re currently sited on a pitch where the nearest water point is up a steep hill and want to use my onboard tank as my aqua roll ran out as I was soapy and showering the other day :( :lol: so I wanted to be able to switch without having to trundle up the hill soaking wet to...

    How to calculate compatibility

    Hi Lutz I’ve looked in my front locker for the plate you mentioned but the only thing I can find is my CRIS number plate. The caravan was built May last year, 2017. If that’s any help? :huh:

    How to calculate compatibility

    Ahhh ok, I did think it strange, but because we were total novices, we adhered to what we were told. I rang one dealer asking about a caravan we fancied and he asked us what our car was, he said the computer calculations say it’s too heavy and his actual words were, “it’s above your limit” and...

    How to calculate compatibility

    Oh ok.....because I’ve only been towing for 10 months, I’ve only ever gone by what I’ve been told or advised is right. The reason the caravan was downplated was because the dealer said he could not sell us a Caravan who’s MTPLM exceeded our car tow limit. So I read in the small print that when...

    How to calculate compatibility

    Thank you ProfJohnL for that information, I will try and calculate any other tow cars we have in mind following that advice. I agree that speed limits are definitely that....limits...and not the norm, especially if weather or road conditions don't allow, only wish everyone stuck to that, whilst...

    How to calculate compatibility

    Hi We’re tentatively looking at different tow cars as we need to change my husband’s motorbility car later in the year. When it comes to working out the compatibility of the tow car with my Caravan it gets very confusing. I found a X1 220d xdrive 175bhp with towing capacity of 2000kg but...

    Possible Brittany Trip

    Just a quick question, just looking online for the ACSI scheme, there is a web site ACSI.EU which doesn’t want to load :( but also I noticed the camping and Caravan club is advertising it for £12.99 for the guide, (up to 50% off site fees in low season) would that be the same one? :huh: :)

    Possible Brittany Trip

    Thank you for your reply....I suppose I just need to gain some more confidence :unsure: I think if my husband was fully mobile I wouldn’t be so hesitant in just travelling with a ‘let’s wing it’ attitude, but because I feel responsible for both our welfare’s I tend to be a bit cautious...

    Scotland and the Outer Hebrides

    :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: that sounds like my worst nightmare, thank you for the warning ;) We have decided not to go to Scotland this year as the times we can go does not coincide with the ‘midgless’ time :lol: So we have redirected our thoughts to Brittany. But thank you as this will be...
