Hi, we are planning a trip to Morocco and know that our car insurance will not cover our trip. Do any of you have names or suggestions of a company that will cover us while we are there. Thanks Julie

Hi all, we have been travelling in Europe for over a year now,we are thinking of taking a trip to Morrocco and would appreciate any advice on campsites safety etc. We have had mixed reports from people we have met. We were initially thinking of going over for a reci just in the landrover and...

Hi Keith, We have been travelling for 6 months now and have mainly had to use internet cafes. We have been surprised at how many there are. Most towns even the little ones usually have one. WiFi has been more difficult to find. We are currently on a campsite that has Wifi facility which is...

Hello, Does anyone know of small or CCL campsites in Europe (or useful links) . We are currently touring Europe and as the season picks up want to avoid the busy sights. We will be in Portugal next week, then over the next few months going across the Pyrennees then South France Italy...

Hi David, we had a similar problem when we bought our caravan. We went to our local caravan shop gave them the model and year they looked it up on there computer and hey presto, new awning. I'm sure your any caravan shop will be able to do the same. Julie

My hubby and I have been touring Europe for 5 months in our caravan. We did consider a fixed bed, but are so glad we didn't.It seems such wasted space. We spend most of our time in the awning but if the weather isn't great we have somewhere nice to sit during the day, and in the evenings we have...

Just a thought but you might get more views if you put this under General or UK campsites headings. Cheers Julie

Hi, I would say that what most people want on a campsite is privacy, a bit of space,and not looking into next door's caravan or awning. Natural breaks such as trees or unregimented lines would help. I accept that they would be more expensive to install but the payback from return customers and...

Hi, I am after a bit of advice please.We are going long term touring in a few months in our 1998 Abi Dalesman 520 and to make it as comfy as possible we have thought about taking out the centre chest at night to give us a bigger bed and then reattaching it during the day. The chest does split in...

Hi, I agree with Rob_jax If you get the chance you should visit Damme. A beautiful little town with good food etc we have spent many a happy hour there just watching the world go by. Our favourite restaurant is just down from the bridge the first on the left (don't know the name), they served...

Hi, we are fairly new to caravaning and are looking to book our first CL site. At the risk of making myself look stupid and possibly being shot down in flames, could someone please explain to me what the "battery charging" means. Is it if you don't use electric hookup it is another way to...

Hi Bazz, Thanks for the info, will give them a try. Cheers Julie

Hi I am looking for some advice please. My husband and I are in the process planning an extended tour of Europe (approx 9 months) which we hope to start in September. We are towing our caravan (Abi Dalesman 520)with a Landrover County. I am having difficulty finding breakdown cover, as many...

Hi, I have bought a double bed size memory foam for our caravan. I've put it inside a double quilt cover and use this as the sheet, this saves you having to try and tuck sheets round the cushons etc. In the morning you just roll it up and pop it in the cupboard, quick and easy! Haven't tried it...

I prefer our van to be in storage rather than on the drive,not only does it give us more parking but sunlight as well! I would also be worried that if your van is always parked on your drive, when it's not (ie on holiday)you are letting people know that you are not at home. Just a thought! Julie
