    teeny tiny insects in the caravan

    Just as a matter of interest Lauramumof3, which B&Q does your other half work in? I'm asking because I'm at their Durham store.

    Pyramid Awnings

    I had no idea they had gone into administration - such a shame to see yet another company going down.but might explain why I've had no reply to the email I sent them several days ago. I currently have one of their porch or 'mini' awnings which is easy to put up on my own and has lasted well...

    New vinyl on the floor of a caravan

    Hi Nigel - have you laid the vinyl yet? I'm planning the very same job on my caravan as we fell the carpet does date the van even though it's only 8 years old. Like you I'm hoping the vinyl will stay flat as I can't get it under every piece of furniture without a total strip out so seeing your...

    Would you give up tourer for a Static?

    Thank you Parksy - couldn't understand why the post heading appeared but not the post itself ! Anyway, what it should have said was we were considering a Static as we are now into our third year as tourer owners and although I still love it, the Mrs is always filled with fear and dread when...

    Great Customer Service

    Isn't it brilliant to know some company's recognise that just by giving great service they now have a customer for life. I've no doubt you'll quite rightly tell everyone about what they did for you and they should be applauded for their committment to the products they sell. I don't know...

    Mice in front locker EEK!

    Thanks for the advice and comments - will go for the mousetraps tomorrow and share a Mars Bar with the critters. After all a Mars a day helps you work, rest and slay. Will also check out where they're getting in and put fine mesh over the vents etc. Normally I'd prefer to let a wee beastie...

    Mice in front locker EEK!

    Hi All - Went to storage yard today for the first time since October and was really pleased that everything was I left it and no damp etc BUT when I opened the front locker there were what looked like mouse droppings on the rolled up groundsheet. I didn't pull everything out to check further...

    Great Yarmouth or surrounding area

    Havens Caister site is also really good. We went last year and the year before for 10 nights on both occassions. Really big level pitches with nightly entertainment if that's what you're looking for. Only a 10 minute drive into Great Yarmouth which has a fantastic long sandy beach, a funfair...

    Sat nav driving me nuts,,,,,

    Very funny Trevor - liked that. Although my super duper sat-nav gives a full screen shot of your full journey when you put in a postcode I still carry my trusted AA Atlas in the boot - just in case!

    Oh NO! dented the caravan!

    Brought the 'van out of storage and was reversing up the monoblocking at the front of the house when I thought "Wonder why SWMBO hasn't come out to direct the operation as she always does". Of course being a man I didn't go in to see her chatting away on the phone for one of her hour long...

    Where to buy replacement blind?

    Hello Everyone..... I've got a Sterling Europa 525 and the blind on the longest window has torn along the stitching at the bottom making it unusable. I wondered if anyone knows where I can buy a new one and also the little plastic clips that keep it in place when pulled down? Had thought...

    Sat nav driving me nuts,,,,,

    Hi All - Found a website called "FixMyGPS" and got brilliant help from a member in Australia on how to wipe files from the SD card and downloaded updated files which worked. Sat Nav now fully operational and even for a complete novice like me I managed to follow the instructions OK. Thanks...
