A resounding YES the UK caravan industry has failed us ! What's more is that they just don't care. I thought I had a ''top of the range'' Coachman VIP.but at 3 years old a Coachman engineer found 5 leaky windows. No free of charge fix No shame that their product was ONLY 3 years old. We are...

I am posting this message in the knowledge that we have no hope of getting any redress on our problem but just to inform others if they find themselves in a similar situation as to what they can expect if they find, through no fault of their own, that they fall foul of the rules regarding...

After a lot of thought and discussion, we think we have settled on a Kia Sorento or a Hyundai Terracan. The only thing we're worried about with the Sorrento is that there has been some discussion on various sites of some trouble with the fuel tank linings. Our friend has a Hyundai Terracan...

With the greatest of respect. My husband was proprietor of an auto-electrical company who did work for large companies designing electrical systems. As part of his work he interviewed people who called themselves auto-electricians when all they had done was fitted a pair of spotlights for...

Having been married to an Auto-electrician for many years, I know that if the main agent can't find the problem, they will call in an auto-electrician.!! juliec

Hello, My husband was an auto-electrician and he says for an emergency repair, can't the immobiliser be by-passed or disconnected or is the immobiliser so far integrated into the system that nothing else will work either? The reason we are interested is that we are thinking about buying a...

Haven't visited this forum for a very long time so please be gentle!!! We have recently bought a Coachman 545 vip with a mtplm of 1630kg. Therefore we need to buy a beefy towcar. I like the look of the Kia Sorento and, when owners write about them, they seem to give them the thumbs up. But...

You would think that having such a long term customer as Neal, having spent the money with Swift that he has, as well as the potential for positive feedback, that Swift would pull out all the stops to make sure that he walked away with nothing short of a new caravan. They've made enough money...

If anyone's crossing to or travelling within France on the 16th June, there is a 'national day of action' being planned, with truck drivers, motorists, boat owners etc, being encouraged to bring France to a standstill by blocking all roads. Could be an interesting day!!!!

Thanks very much Parksy. Julie

We recently had cause to remove the Hartal lock on our caravan door. The problem is we can't remember which way up the little red and green plastic discs go! Can anyone help? Many thanks Julie

We were going to Honfleur in our caravan once to meet some friends in their motorhome. I got in touch with the tourist information there and they said that we could stay on the free carpark with our friends. The only problem was that there were no facilities laid on at that time because it was...

Just as a matter of interest, is the strong Euro deterring anyone from visiting the 'Euro Zone' this year?

Personal recommendation, the only truly honest recommendation you can get. I wouldn't buy a caravan on the strength of a magazine's review ever again.

We tow a Swift built caravan with a french car. I think part of the problem is that it is very expensive to import a british built caravan to France as they have to have independent registration. We have just received our certificate and so far it has cost:-
