    On site TV aerial hookup

    I shall have to wait until we're off again, as we decided to store the caravan at the Campsite (was so lovely there, and using their storage facility means we can get away easier for a couple of days between our main holiday, and takes a lot of towing stress out for me. But think I'm going to...

    I'm awaiting a return phone call, concerning my Air Beam, which split on the weld seam as we put it up... I've phoned through to the shop this morning, spoke to one chap, who erred and hummed, said something about Ebay, but then said he get his colleague to phone me back. (still waiting) We...

    On site TV aerial hookup

    The site I've just visited, had an TV hookup on their serviced pitches, I noticed a lot of caravan on the pitches had their tv hookup cable going into their battery box, alongside their electric hookup cable... Good idea as we had to thread ours through the window and straight into the back of...

    Bedding trauma

    My main bed at home is a rather expensive memory foam/ sprung affair, so so comfy and I use a Feather and Down quilt, as I need some weight in my Quilt otherwise I don't settle. Really can't bear the lightness of an hollow fibre quilt. My last caravan a 2 berth, I didn't use a mattress...

    Who are these people booking my pitches??🤬🤬🤬

    If you're near enough to the water tap, could always do what a chap near us did.... Instead of carrying his aquaroll to the tap, he attached a hose to the tap and filled the aquaroll still in situ next to his caravan... We've thought of trying to fit in another week or should I say a working...

    Hi from yet another newbie couple

    Welcome to the forum.... If you didn't get the 'owners handbook' with the caravan, I'd google it. so very helpful to print off. yep, it doesn't matter how well they hand over, it is a lot of information to adsorb, so again a visit to youtube, will refresh a lot that was said. A tip I got...

I'm middle lane a caravan hammers past me on the outside lane... I still do not know how the driver managed the next bit... Traffic is reasonably heavy...

    COVID - 2nd Wave - To go or not to go?

    I think when determining the 'Shall we go or Shall we not'. its just not the 'Personal Risk' that should be taking into consideration.... But also the much bigger picture if you pick up the virus, how many more people might you infect! I've just been away, but very much kept to our self...

    Whale water pump problems

    The button on the yellow box, is for calibration should only need to be done the once, but sometimes it does need resetting. Which should be in your manual, think it comes under setting up for the first time section.

    Covid19 - How Can This Be Allowed To Happen.

    I have very mixed feelings with how the NHS and Doctor Surgeries have handled things.. Sadly I think its going to be a long time before we get back to anywhere near normal, as it appears people just don't want to follow any guidance given. I work in a residential home, and yep there's an...

    Adults only site, Somerset

    A tip if visiting StourHead, go in the Morning for the best reflections in the lake, The sun rising to the left of the lake and sets on the right. An Autumn visit gives you some cracking views and reflections and if you're lucky some misty air to it.

    Deflating air awnings

    Most of the hand pumps for air awnings will have a 'deflate'. you just have to remember to remove the pressure gauge when you swap the side over (lessoned learnt the hard way) I let the air out naturally at first, then use the pump to suck the rest out.

    Motor movers

    Power Movers are brilliant when you have a tight spot to tackle, or like me have a factory fitted wheel brake to line up.... When put my caravan on my drive, means I have swing it around and a very high chance of hitting the side of the house, the powermover enables me to stand back and...
