    Hyundai Santa Fe 2015

    I have one of these fitted on my 2008 Santa fe. They are ok if you have a cable operated mechanism for the spare wheel and certainly cheaper than the main Hyundai dealers...

    Camping Beausoleil Bordeaux

    Hi, I stopped at this campsite on my way to Spain in the motorhome. As an overnight stop it is fine however the pitches are small with one or two suitable to pitch a caravan and awning (providing they are empty.) Now I have changed to a caravan I would not use it. Ian

    5 cats on holiday in caravan with us

    Obviously trashed the caravan!!! Would like to know the outcome. I have two cats and have thought about taking them with me on holiday. Any other caravanners had experiences taking their cats with them. i.e. do you keep them confined to the caravan/awning or let them roam freely. Ian

    I stayed at this campsite last year. As the advertidement states the site is not suitable for young children because there are no amenities in the immediate vicinity. It is a large open area but the owner tries to dictate where and how you should pitch your caravan. It is quiet,pleasant and...

    Dogs to France

    I took my dog to France last year. We travelled on the Portsmouth/Cherbourg rote (5hours). The dog had to stay in the car and I was allowed one visit during the crossing to see him (dog was asleep when I visited). The French vets are very helpful and they will vaccinate the dog against the...
