A claw hammer is an essential bit of caravanning equipment - invaluable for removing bottle tops!

Many thanks for all your helpful suggestions - I have taken the plunge and ordered a set of "Megapegs" - will update once I have tried them although if any of you see a 65 year old lady waving a cordless drill and cursing fluently it may be me!

Any chance you know the name of the website - that sounds great! Liz

Has anyone used these - are they any good? I have taken over most of the "heavy work" of caravanning since my OH is getting older. Most of it I can deal with but hammering in ground pegs for our porch awning is hard work especially on hard standing pitches and I am trying to make life a bit...

We have both wooden blocks and plastic leveling ramps (left over from motorhoming days) - we prefer the wooden ones as we find that the plastic ones have a tendency to slip away if used on gravel or the dreaded "plastic in the grass" so called hard standings favoured by some sites.

I block off the outlet just before we leave home and then pour a couple of pints of the cheapest malt vinegar I can find down the drain. When we arrive drain off into wastemaster then pour kettle of boiling water down drain. It gets rid of the food scraps that inevitably stick in the waste pipe...

We used the ACSI card several times in France while motorhomers. We bought ours from Vicarious Books - we got the card which comes with a sites book listing all the sites which accept it and give discounts. Each site has a price range in the listing. We also bought the ACSI DVD which has a...

My niece and nephew are stuck in Cyprus at the moment - can't get on a flight back until Tuesday pm and they should be back in school on Monday Morning - don't suppose they are too worried though!

Thank you for that David - he owes me a bottle of good red!

But can anyone tell me what the "animal" is which appears on the Avondale logo - I think it is supposed to be a panther - my OH says not. Please can anyone settle the argument for us!!!

Come to think of it, you have a point there my friend!
