Still causing damage to the finish of the van! As I say the Surveymaster is the best and will give a core reading which, in my opinion, is more indicative of ingress affecting the fabric of the wall or roof surface. Unfortunately though the Surveymaster is considerably more expensive. Cheers G

Forgot to add the Protimeter Surveymaster is the meter I always used for non obtrusive investigation. Cheers G

the protimeter mini is recognised as the industry`s tool for completing caravan moisture surveys. i have been using one for approx 12 yrs now, and i re-calibrate it once a month. Just a couple of observations on this post. Correct me if I am wrong but I think this is one of the meters which has...

Thanks for the replies, Kampa on order, sadly missed the last 2 blue ones so had to take the wine red but, on the S6 Pageant will look fine. Also purchased inner tent for the kids and steel pole for rear! Cheers G

Was going to buy a Sunncamp 390+ with inner tent to "punt" one or both of the teenage kids into this summer hol (our big awning blew away at Bunree during Easter break) then I saw the Sunncamp 390 acrylic, looked better, then I saw the Kampa 390, now I am totally confused as to which is the best...

Thanks for that John, did a measure at the weekend and your post confirms my findings. Am sure the only difference with the + is the modification to the way the awning sits against the van (always been a pain with our current 260!) Cheers G

Yes, that is the simple answer! Reason I asked the question is because my van is in storage some distance from my house and we are due away soon on 2 week break so I was wanting to get the awning ordered up asap. I will measure this weekend, was hoping to hear from someone with the same van...

I might be wrong but my understanding is that the card will only work with the box it is actually paired with (ie your usual home box). Our Sky + box works perfectly in the van and allows pause function, recording etc but, as the dish is a single LNB, I can't record one channel and record...

Currently have an Ultima 260 on our Bailey Champagne which fits fine (doesn't cover doors, windows, vents etc). Needing a bit extra space but still wanting to stick with Ultima, question is will the 390+ fit without compromising windows etc? Will appreciate comments on suitability. Thanks in...

Deffo no to the A939, the road around the "Bridge of Brown" is scary enough solo, never mind towing! Hope you find an alternative route and enjoy! Cheers G

I bought some metal screw pegs for our visit to Bunree at Easter, had to hammer them into the ground as they would not screw in. However, they worked so well that, when the awning took off on to the roof of the caravan, the pegs stayed in place the awning stitching having given way! Had to use...

As above, Carri Chef Deluxe, best bit of kit I have ever bought. This weekend we fried breakfast on it twice and did burgers and steaks as well. It is a wee bit heavy but worth it IMO. Cheers G

Depending on what you need in a site, try Lowmoor Caravan site. It has no toilet facilities but is a lovely peacefull site within easy reach of Whitby, The Moors etc. Avoid at all costs Middlewood Farm at Robin Hoods Bay, it is disgusting in my opinion and the owners are arrogant and downright...

Hope you have better luck than I have had with my dish! Bought a 60cm one with tripod and all the kit. Tried it out at home linking it into the sky box in the house (to save embarrassment of using on site for the first time and making a pigs ear of it!) and it worked perfectly. Since then Bunree...

Goosewood is a nice enough site but has deteriorated for tourers in favour of the chalets and the guaranteed money IMO. We stayed there for a week in 2006 and revisited last year and noted a decline in the touring facilities (site roadways, rubbish removal, toilet cleanliness etc. Cheers G
