Hi, Anyone stayed at this site? Comments good, bad or indifferent please. Considering this for May bank holiday. We've been to Fishguard Bay a few times (excellent site and views), but as cc members thought we'd give St Davids a go. Cheers, Mark

Hi all, Thanks for your comments, good and bad! Never thought it would get 20+ replies. For those detractors / lovers of the 300c, I'd be interested to hear what towcars you have at the moment. When I was buying last summer, it was a choice between a 300c or a new Discovery, and the level of...

Hi there, Anyone considering a Chrysler 300c as their next towcar? Having had one for 6 months, towing our Swift Charisma twin-axle regularly, I can thoroughly recommend it. 3 litre diesel is returning @ 32mpg solo, 25 whilst towing, and there's muscle to spare. Go for the estate version for...

Hi all, Anyone planning a stay at Tewkesbury Abbey site is advised to contact the cc before travelling. Since last weeks rainfall, the road into the site was under water when I checked on wednesday and there didn't appear to be any info about the situation on the cc website. I've moved my...

We stayed at 'The Plassey' Nr. Wrexham @ 5 years ago, back in the dark ages when we were still in a tent. Whilst quietly chatting with friends at 10.45pm, we heard a knock and saw a torchlight through the canvass, accompanied by a booming voice saying 'be quiet, I can hear you at reception!'...

Thanks John, I'll give that a go.

Hi All, I want to remove the tap from the 'en-suite' in our Ace Award Northstar as it's developed a leak. I've unscrewed the big black plastic nut that secures the tap to the sink, undone the electric cables, but I'm at a loss to figure out how the pipe connectors undo. Theres 2 black braided...

Lisa, Try the cc site in Cheddar, @ 5 miles off the M5. Cheers, Mark

Have you considered a Kia Sedona? Excellent towcar. I've had BMW's and 4x4's in the past, and the Sedona blows 'em away. Cheers, Mark

Allen, I had a quote of

Hi All, Just to echo other comments about the Sedona. We bought ours new on an 06 plate last April. Just passed the 24k miles stage, tows like a dream, but watch wear on front tyres. I've just changed these for Pirelli P6. Kia fit KUMHO tyres as standard, but they're not as good, especially as...

Hi Jo-anne, We tow a 1200 kg (when empty) Ace Award Northstar with our Sedona. Towed with the Sedona for the first time since buying new last weekend (Cheshire to Somerset & return), and can recommend the cars towing ability and comfort. It was fantastic! Plenty of power in reserve, and @...

Hi All, My caravan insurance is up for renewal at the end of the month, and this time I've decided to change to The Caravan Club. Has anybody had any problems getting proof of no claims discount from an existing insurer? I've just requested proof from my existing insurer (E& L) and wondered if...

Lorraine, We've done the trip from Widnes, Cheshire to Fishguard with the van a couple of times via the M56, M53, A55, A483, then gone cross-country through Welshpool etc down to Aberystwyth, then down the coast road. It's very scenic, and the roads are brilliant, but can take between 4 and 5...
