    Surviving without EHU

    Thanks Parksy That was just the advice I was hoping for. We won't be in the van much but the shower will be used as opposed to braving the communal site showers - uuurrghhh! Best wishes Karinna

    Surviving without EHU

    Hi All A bit of advice please. I am venturing to the Reading Festival this summer with my teenage daughter (with the van obviously, I don't do tents!) and will be, in effect, rallying for 5 nights. Having only ever used EHU sites before, I am concerned about running out of gas as the...

    Taking Guinea pigs on holiday!

    We don't have a guinea pig (sadly) anymore, but we do take our house-bunny away in the van with us. If space permits, he travels in his smaller 'van' cage (as opposed to his large dog crate that is home normally) in the car but if space doesn't, then a useful cat carrier comes in handy with the...

    Easter Holiday

    Just returned from 8 days at Sandringham CC site - what a great site, apart from the dust from the gravel and roads - will be hosing down the van and car later! The Wardens were great and the facilities spotless. The Wardens even put on wine, fruit juice, cake and a quiz for the Royal Wedding...

    For dog lovers only.

    I have a very wayward, 5 yr old black Labrador (he's 48 kilo of muscle due to being on steroids following an op at 5 months) and there's no way I would take him away in my van (much as I would love to). He simply needs more space. Also, the thought of attaching his tie-out lead to the jockey...

    Easter 2011 & Royal Wedding

    I managed to get booked at Sandringham for the week of the Royal Wedding, but I did book by 10am on the day that the CC bookings opened. It is a site that was recommended to me by a work colleague and one that I had eamarked to visit this year anyway so took the opportunity of coinciding with...

    caravan movers

    Hi I have a Royal mover fitted to my van which I purchased at the February NEC show earleir this year. I chose the Royal as the vast majority of movers (in my opionion) all did the same job roughly, but what made me make my decision was the attitude of the 'salesmen' on the stands. I am a...

    Unusual uses for caravans

    I saw a television programme yesterday (The Caravan Show I think) that aired a report of a chap who was converting a caravan (old Airstream I think) to be part of his luxury portable toilet hire fleet. He had to strengthen the chassis, make into double axle to take the weight of the water and...

    very disappointed in Swift's attitude to warranty claim

    I purchased a brand new Sterling Europa 8 WEEKS ago and over the weekend experienced a problem with my alarm box on the van. I rang my dealers who advised that it was probably my leisure battery charge had dropped - put the battery on charge, replaced and the constant, high pitch buzzing would...

    SO which one should I join

    I have been a member of both clubs for the past 12 months and I shan't be renewing my membership of C&CC when due. Basically, whenever I have looked to go away, the C&CC have not had availability where I would like to go. However, the deciding factor has been that I have recently returned from...
