    indicator buzzer

    Hi When we tow there is an audible "beep" but only when the indicators are used. Sounds a bit like a lorry reversing kind of beep. Thats the only noise we seem to have. Lisa

    looking for fixed double bed six berth caravan ideas please

    Hi, I'm not sure such a van exists. We are looking to upgrade our present 6 berth to a 6 berth with separate shower facility and extra room for teenagers to get dressed in. Of the ones we have looked at,none have a fixed double bed. Must admit it would be nice though!!! Lisa

    Reversing Light

    Hi, just come back from our hols and noticed that when we put the car into reverse the fog light on the caravan comes on instead of the reversing light. We recently had a tow bar fitted and wondered if something could have been connected up wrong. The light always worked with our previous car...

    which noseweight limit?

    the handbook says; towing noseweight should be a minimum of 50kg or slightly heavier for single or twin-axle models. we thought that sounded a bit weedy too. But if thats a minimum of 50kg, what weight would be considered "slightly heavier"..........

    hawthrne farm, sutton on sea, mablethorpe, cc site

    Hi, Sorry, not been to this site but we used to own a chalet at Sutton on Sea. We ended up selling it and buying our caravan because the kids didn't like the place. Without wishing to offend anyone, it's not really a place for kids but many elderly people seem to go there. Even the chippy had...

    Woodlands Park - Devon.

    Hi, We are going to Woodlands in August. Not really towed a great deal before so I am a bit worried about getting there. Are the roads fairly ok getting there or are they really narrow & twisty & hilly. Not been to Devon since I was little so can't remember the roads. We are travelling from...

    haven`s 21 foot rule

    Hi, I could see there might be a problem if the site had designated pitches of a certain size but when we went to Haven Golden Sands at Mablethorpe we were basically in a field. Some Haven sites do have hardstanding "super-pitches" perhaps this is why they have to have a size limit?? Nobody...
