    Which Caravan Mover do I Buy ?

    We have a Powertouch fitted to our single axel Abbey. We've had this for 2 years & so far have had no problems.

    Cotswold CC sites

    Thanks for your comment folks. I was passing the M5 junction for both these sites a couple of days back so made a detour & had a look at Broadway - I didn't have time for Morton as well. It looks like a great site & although full, appeared quiet & the pitches were large even by CC standards...

    Hooks

    I've put a couple of metal hooks mounted on a wood base on the back of the washroom door with No More Nails - haven't come off yet!

    Cotswold CC sites

    We're thinking about either the CC Cotswold sites, Broadway or Moreton in the Marsh & we're not sure which to choose. Has anyone experience of either of these sites to help us decide?

    Avoiding Grantham...

    Thanks Lolly, middle lane is my mantra for the next few days! Good luck with your new van.

    Avoiding Grantham...

    Hi Lolly We'll be leaving the storage at around 9.30 to arrive on site at about 12. Agree that roundabout in Kings Lyn is awful, really badly planned, with something like 6 lanes & you have to be in the right lane for Hunstanton. I've done it a few times now, not always towing, and still...

    Avoiding Grantham...

    Thanks for you help, I'll get the maps out to check out some of your suggestions. Lolly - if you're passing by our van come & say hello, it's an Abbey freestyle with a plain white hitch cover.

    Avoiding Grantham...

    ...Nothing against Grantham but we're off to Sandringham next weekend (9th). We'll be travelling from Nottingham along the A52 towards Grantham, I have previously towed through the centre of Grantham but this can be a bit hairaising on a Saturday with shoppers/parked vans etc, is there a way I...

    hyundai santa fe 2.0 crdt

    We've been towing with a 2.0 diesel Santy for 2 years now, not had any problems so far. Our van is just shy of 1300Kg & the car pulls well up hill & down dale and M/way inclines without having to change down a gear. It's spacious, stable, fuel economy is OK & it's comfortable for long trips, and...

    New Honda CRV

    CRV is perhaps a bit new for anyone to have towed with it yet. I've sat in one & it's on my 'wish list'for when I change the my current car in about 2 years time.

    Peak District

    Try Chatsworth CC site - all the usual CC facilities to a high standard. You can walk straight out of the site & into the park, its about 15 mins walk up to the house. There are loads of walks in the area that begin in the park, of different lengths & degrees of difficulty, that you can access...

    Caravan manoeuvering courses- are they worthwhile?

    We did the CC course at Kimberly 2 years ago & we both found it very useful and it certainly helped with towing confidence. There were 6 or 7 others on the course as well so there was lots of practice at hitching & unhitching. You spend most of the day standing up outside so if it's chilly take...

    Who are we??

    We did get our Freestyle from Lowdhams and have been very pleased with it. We had a couple of small niggles in the first year, the main ones being the fridge door catch and one of the front blinds 'unravelled' itself. Apart from this we've had no problems. We've also found Lowdhams good to deal...
