Bingham Grange in Dorset has been taken over by the Caravan & Motorhome Club & is sadly no longer adult only :( https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/whats-on/caravan-club-news/Say-hello-to-Bridport-Bingham-Grange/

We previously owned a motorhome so i just needed a small car for work etc. In 2014 after a short test drive (Btw the short test drive was my biggest mistake) anyhow i opted for the 2013 Ford B max with Powershift Auto. On collection i drove the car home from the dealer forecourt & reversed up...

It really annoys my when I read or watch towcar test & they mark down certain models. I fully understand Vauxhall are not up there in the BMW, Volvo Audi VW or many other expensive top makes however I tow our Lunar Venus 500 4 with our 2016 Mokka Auto & it tows a dream in fact the Auto gearbox...

I tried to book two weeks at Chatsworth Park CC site a couple of years back and were told that the week days were free but all pitches were fully booked for the middle weekend of our holiday which was to be in June, the warden said we could move to a differnt site for the weekend and then move...

Johnny, We visited Woodlands while staying at Hillhead in August this Year, Yes the lower parts of the park are set at the bottom of very steep hills which in my opinion would cause some difficulty in pushing a wheelchair up or down especially if wet or damp as the surfaces were quite slippery...

We are thinking of applying for a seasonal pitch at The Covert CC site Swaffaham for 2009 as my parents both have poor health & share our van. We just wondered if anyone has stayed at this site & if so could pass on any comments good or bad,(trying to do a little research first this time before...

I presume by Ken saying Caravan Club AS site he means Affiliated Site then the club has no say in how it is run beacause it is run privately. The CC have already greatly reduced the number of seasonal pitches allocated on sites during the peak season to free up pitches & theres not usually any...

Helen, I have had two 2L TDI ghia C-Max's one 54reg & one 55reg that we pulled our 2004 Bailey Pageant Moselle with a max laden weight of 1280kg, it towed the van with ease and great stability & power they were a pleasure to tow with, mine both had the electronic handbrake which took some...

Martin, I tow a Bailey Pageant Moselle with my 57 reg Zafy 19cdti 120 Auto, and I have to say it's a dream to drive even with the van on the back, it feels very stable under all conditions, obviously I am very carefull how I load both car and van, but on our trip from Essex too Devon in August...

We noticed to our horror while at Hillhead CC site this earlier Year that drivers were still speeding around the site despite the accident that happened i think in York last Year, our pitch actually had a red 5mph speed sign on it clearly visable from the road and on a number of occasions i...

Just had to add my comment, after reading the two articles above. I contacted the club earlier this Year as I was angry having turned up at a site to be told after paying it was water logged, Up till then there was no notification on the Caravan Club web site anywhere telling members about the...

Hi Margaret, I had a 1997 Frontera 2.5tds LWB and towed a Bailey Ranger 500/5 it was a superb tow car & i loved it, i was about to replace it for the later 2.2 version in 2004, when Mr Blair announced changes to the car tax bands, meaning higher prices for 4x4's,so i changed it for a car...

Lorraine, I posted a thread saying exactly this yonks ago when I returned from a CC site where there were 2 RV's built like coaches, all very nice with sides extending out electronicly, they were parked on hardstanding but the overhang was also taking up the grass pitch behind so no-one could...

Antony, I have a 57 reg Zafira 19CDTi 120ps Auto as a tow tug, I pull a 2004 Bailey Pageant Moselle with a MTPLM of 1300Kg which it pulls perfectly, fuel consuption seems good, and it always feels very stable even with 4 adults and a 12yr old on board.Being Auto it does drop down the box when...

Stephen, Please don't be sorry to rant! Here's mine, i have been the victim of this type of low life criminal behavoir, I make no appologies if that comment upsets anyone but that's exactly what it is, while on the Caravan Clubs site @ Woolacombe Devon, our front locker panel of our then brand...
