Sash, I bought a 200 set of white light led lights - the same you would put on a large Christmas Tree. Strung them all over the Awning - Very pretty!

Ignorance and appaling manners seem to be the order of the day now - what a shame!

Brum, Yes, it doesn't sound good. The pimples as you put it could be where the damp is lifting the vinyl or whatever material they have used. I have recently bought a protimeter mini damp meter not cheap but really handy to have because damp is the caravanners or motor homers worst enemy and...

Prof, You are quite right to baulk at holes in roof sheets of caravans - newish or not. It is imperative to get it done properly by someone who knows what they are doing. Parksy used a waterproof grommet. This is definately one of the criterior you need to fit the panel properly. The job can...

Thanks to everyone for their comments. I am impressed with the help I have recieved.

Thanks for that Parksy. Really useful.

Hi Dusty, The one I have is 12kg. It comes with proper mounting kit etc. I have it fitted by Panelworks at Bawtry who really know their trade and how to install one properly! I really believe that these panels, once fitted, offer us a real alternative. Thats all I was trying to say!

Billy, Couldn't have said it better myself!

Hi Parksy, Well, that put the cat amoung the pigeons didnt it? So pleased it raised debate. Many points have been raised re solar panels and I will try to cover them. Firstly, this was about the cost of caravanning, not a squabble about SPs against hook up. I simply gave an alternative to what...

Hi Ray, That does really suprise me. I have only dealt with them recently and found them excellent. Just shows you how different people get a different angle on others. Why were the services unsatisfactory? Are you talking about Panelworks or Yorkshire Caravans who work from the same premises?

Colin, Hooray to that! Peace and quiet for me everytime! Merve

Hi Cupid, Why are people, in the days of solar panels, so hooked into hook-up? Yes, it's very convenient and yes you can have an electric toaster and kettle. The fridge on 240V oh, hang on....isnt 12v available? Television, yes again 12V. Radio - 12V. Pumps - 12V. Battery charging-, again...

Martin, I read these amazing prices that people pay on CC sites! I, like you have invested on a serious 135W solar panel. Now we can stay on a field for £5 a night with all the comforts of home. This is posh camping for goodness sake! Get real. Stop being so reliant on Hook Up! There are wats...

Hi Craig, Never been a member of thr C&CC but have thought about it. I agree with others on this thread. I have found some lovely people on the CL's of the CC. I cant afford the CC sites. I have stayed on one but only because I had some free site vouchers. It was a lovely site, well maintained...

Thank you for the info kind sir,
