Homer you did the right thing. We bought our van from Glossop last year, I also found certain sails reps to be untruthful. Jon

I would have thought that trio themselves or a trio dealer would be the best and first port of call. Have you tried some of the bigger dealers? Like awning land at Glossop caravans I have found them very helpful on there awning side.

Hi Harry The reason for this is I believe for fire regulations so if necessary the van can be hitched up and towed away. There are tow main flaws with this in my eyes: One being if you have a awning up and legs down the van isn't going any ware anyway. The other who in there right mind is...

After reading a article in Januarys camping and caravanning club which stated that there was a new law put in place last year that you had to drive with your side lights on (not sure if this was just if towing or for all standard motoring). I was just wondering if anybody knows where I can find...

After reading all your comments I agree initially with what people are saying about the awareness of new style caravans and being a lot better than the old one's, my only comment all be it a bit selfish is that as a member of the caravan club as we prefer these sites to the commercial sites but...

Hi Sean The 85% is only a guide line, as far as I am aware you can tow up to 1:1 but I have also heard that if you tow 1:1 that the maximum speed is reduced to 50mph not sure how true this is though. Also just remember the more you put in the boot the lower the back of your car will be perhaps...

Hi Neil I am looking in to going to Benodet which is on the coast the other side of Quimper I have found that the ferries aren't any cheaper overnight as they all make you book either reclining chairs or cabins which actually works out more expensive. I will be travelling from Rochdale Lancs...

Hi Pete Your very luck having an insurance company that doesn't insist on you having a wheel clamp most these days do. I personally use a wheel clamp and the alko hitch lock on my van and also put the steady's down when at the storage site. I can't keep my van at home but some people say that...

Hi Sean Not sure but I think some of the comments may be missing the point you were actually asking about. Are you asking about the advantages of a separate shower of having a combined shower come toilet? If you are then my personal feeling is that a separate shower is better my old van had a...

MICHELE I have just spoke to homestead caravans which is were I got my suncamp scenic porch from they say that they just cant get enough of them which isn't surprising as they are great just right for weekends or even one night stops, but are expecting a delivery in December they are...

Thanks for all your replies will probably use the docks did this in 2003 at Portsmouth but nice to here that there is ample space over at Roscoff as I have not been into there before. Jon

Was wondering if any body has used the Plymouth roscoff ferry crossing on a Saturday at 3pm. We are looking to use this crossing next year but are not sure what to do on the other side as the ferry docks at 10pm. Dose any body know of a site that will let you on at this time or are there...

Hi Graham The width on the dethleffs is just on the limits of towing with a normal car any wider than this you have to use a commercial vehicle in this country. I have a Adria Adora 532lt which is 2.292m wide you can really tell the difference in side these vans with the extra width you just...

Great idea Mike. Mitsubishi Space Wagon 2.0 petrol / Adria Adora 532lt 1360kg around 30mpg solo 20mpg towing at 55-60mph

Hi MP I have two children also aged 4 & 8 we have a 24ft van and use a suncamp porch awning for one night or weekends it is more compact than a normal awning to carry around and a lot easier to put up as it has pole like most dome tents have nowadays it gives just enough room for cotes boots...
