    Where's my Mag. F.A.O Nigel Donnely

    Probably being a bit thick here, but why would subscribers get their mag earlier? For that to happen wouldn't the printers have to release copies early? When the mag is printed I would have thought a load get sent to a distributor and end up in tescos or smiths or wherever and a load get posted...

    Advice for a newbie on families first trip

    We were in a similar position in 2006. I was on a training course in Birmingham and my wife rang up and said she wanted to buy a caravn. It must have been a very bad line because when I said I'll be home on Friday we can go and visit a few dealerships and get some advice, she thought I said go...

    Thanks for the advice. I'm goingto do a bit of investigating on the car tonight, see if that is where the problem lies.

    Faulty electrics

    I have a problem with the indicators and lights not working on the caravan when attached to car. The van is going in for a service Monday so they can look at it, but could the problem be with the car. Not picking the van back until Friday and then going away on the Saturday, so a bit concerned...

    Using customers for Quality Control

    Totally agree about the real meanings of what is stated on packaging. My personal 'favourite' is the practice of stating aqua on the list of ingredients instead of water. I would never have bought that shampoo if I had realised is was mainly water!

    Used wrong fluid

    Hi all. On the weekend I mistakenly put the wrong fluid in the toilet flush. I've flushed water through it several times but still a blue tinge to the water. Is this a potentially serious error or will it do no lasting harm. Grateful for any advice.

    There is a caravan club site just outside Newport at Tredegar House. They may be able to help if he is a member.

    Trivia

    Derek You're probably right. Interestingly though, somebody probably a moderator has taken it upon himself to alter the heading and some of the content of the original post of the post, which did refer to a contributor by name. If that's against the rules, then fine, but don't alter text and...

    Trivia

    I'm quite happy to be accused of being grumpy but is it just me or is anyone else getting a bit fed up with continual posts about trivia or whatever. One a day would be fine, getting on for double figures is just annoying.

    Non Delivery of Caravan Club Magazine.

    I think I was one of the people who received the magazine in error, as our house is number 1 in our street. I came home from work on Moday and having seen the picture on the cover ripped it open assuming it was my C&CC magazine. Had a look in phone book and 192.com but cannot trace the correct...

    tow bar and lights not working on caravan

    This reminds me of the first time I towed our caravan after collection from the dealer. The towbar electrics had been wired wrongly so that when I was indicating left the cvaravan was indicating right and vice versa. Luckily wife had dropped me off and was behind in the car so was able to warn...
