Tried that - no answer. And after viewing several other postings on this and other forums it would appear that they don't bother answering the phone or replying to e-mails.

Hi - wondering if anyone can offer any advice regarding spares for bradcot awning poles. Was away last week and the corner pole to the caravan broke off the fixing. It is a black plastic part which holds the pole to the rest of the corner poles. Sorry this is slightly difficult to explain...

Just thought I would add a small comment to this thread. I have never been told by the dealer to check my wheel nuts after a number of miles. I admit if it is in the handbook I haven't spotted it. My wheelnuts are never torqued in front of me. I pay each service for a set of one shot nuts and...

Del, I live in Manchester was going to go to the show but haven't bought my tickets yet so would be pleased to take up your offer. If the mod could pass on my e-mail address we will arrange it. many thanks Mike

Many thanks for your responses. I think the Keswick site is looking best for us all because as far as I am aware Fallbarrow and Whitecross Bay don't allow tents. In view of this can anyone who has been to the Keswick site advise me if tents are allowed to be pitched right next to the...

Merry New Year to all. Do any of you knowledgeable people out there know of a site which allows boat access to Windermere where both caravans, tents and a motorhome can be sited together (ie not in seperate parts of the same campsite but right next door to each other). If, as I suspect, there...

Meant Saintes for the market - lol Mike

Many thanks for that gafferbill - can't wait to get there. Regards Mike

I am ready for my trip to France this week - staying at Le Puits de L'Auture near Royan. If anyone has any info regarding this campsite - particularly best pitches, are they serviced pitches, reverse polarity or any other items which would make our stay easier. Also if anyone has any points of...

Welcome to the forum and to the wonderful world of caravanning. This our fourth year of caravan ownership and as a reluctant change from tenting on my behalf - i am now the most enthusiastic. We are from the North West too - mainly go upto the lakes for weekends. Hope you enjoy your new hobby...

I agree with you Sadie - but the route I have proposed is nearly 80% motorway - just non-peage motorway instead of the toll motorway route via Le Mans and Tours. Some small parts of it are toll roads but instead of the 90 euros I would pay on the other route I will only pay approximately 20...

Hi Ian, I too am travelling from Calais to Royan this year and it is only my second time of towing abroad. Due to the high cost of tolls I am looking to do the Rouen, Caen, Rennes, Nantes, La Rochelle route as it is only approximately 50 miles longer than the peage motorway route but about 70...

I would like anyones information on a decent service stopover between Le Mans, Tours and Poitiers on the A28. Before a huge discussion ensues I am aware of all the previous posts regarding the safety of such stopovers but in terms of my journey this year it just suits to have a quick 6 hour...

Hi TOMO, I tow with a Kia Sedona - and I find it very good tow car. When towing back from the Lake District last Bank Holiday I found it stable and smooth in the high winds when a lot of other outfits were bouncing around a lot - even the twina axles. It is a lot of car for the money but...

WendyLois, No you don't need a GB sticker if you have the "euro" plates. Make sure that you have the plates on both the car and caravan though. Regards Mike
