Trev. I've just finished getting my van 'sorted' for the winter and i've always used a thick black plastic sheet to cover the vents over the winter stuck down with medium tack waterproof tape. It works. It keeps out the cold air, thus preventing the fluid from freezing and also stops any dust...

wow!Glad she wasn't hurt :-). Its funny you mention Troyes cos thats where we'll be on that day. Ta for your advice Woody

Thanks Eddie, but how is it re tensione? I'm a bit wary of doing something wrong and losing all the remaining tension.

Hi all. Can anyone out there give me some advice on how to re tension the blinds on my 2005 caravan.Do they need to be taken off completely, do they need to be in the open or closed position etc.? Your advice would be very welcome. :-)

I know Jimf. As soon as i submitted it i realised the error. Oh well, no ones perfect.

Thanks Mike E. I'll look forward to the quiet journey that day.

Thanks for the advice. Of course i did mean 14th July and not 13th.

It's also not a good idea to camp overnight in an "Aire de repose" if it can be avoided. I've heard too many stories of campers units being broken into etc while asleep.Best to find a suitable site.

Hi folks. I would be grateful if anyone can give me some advice on travelling through France on 13th July (Bastille Day). Is it busy on the roads or should i stay put on site? Many thanks

Thanks Plotter.I'll give it a visit and see how much it'll sting me.

Thanks Val.Good to know i wasn't imagining it. Time is a factor so i'll just have to bite the bullet and pay a few tolls.

Thinking of going to France in 2009. Calais down to Macon using the motorways. I seem to remember reading it somewhere that travelling on Tuesdays or Thursdays the toll for a caravan is free. I can't remember the exact details though. Can anyone out there help? Thanks
