Looks like a good towcar,Im interested.The Mondeo has a max tow weight of 1800kg. Can any owners confirm from their handbook what this includes? ie is it the usual tow weight to allow the car to pull away on 1 in 8 gradient. Does it take into account the driver and/or a passennger and/or a full...

I am looking for a replacement gas locker door and frame, a grey offside wheel arch and side trim for my Argos. I have contacted my local Avondale dealer who have said it may not be possible to get these parts due to the age of the 'van. Can anyone recommend a good caravan breakers yard or...

I have been in the C & CC since February-the main reasons for joining was the discount on the caravan insurance and the Big Sites Book. I am disappointed with the costs of the pitches compared to independant camp sites - with four people in the family it soon adds up. We have only used a C&C C...

Our caravan is kept on the drive at home - the drive is quite steep and without the handbrake the 'van would take up residence over the road! This poses a problem over the winter as I know the handbrake is best left off to avoid the brakes seizing. I have wheel chocks but with the wheel clamp on...

Paul & Ruth. I too do not relish the prospect of getting stuck on a steep incline. This is my families first year of caravanning and so far have been luck enough to have had clear runs at the inclines that we have encountered. I dont know what fuel your tow car runs on but if it is a petrol and...

I have recently been experiencing an intermittent fault with the indicators between my Rover 620 and Avondale Argos 'van. They work OK when first hooked up but occasionally the tell tale bleep stops - it seems to work again after going over a bump or two. It seems it is a break in the connection...
