    cannot get rid of my caravan

    Just as an aside - I have just checked out www.onlinecaravan. The ads I have clicked on seem very dated, i.e. feb 2006 etc? Its worth comparing the search facilities, number of caravans advertised and when the ads were placed maybe, etc?

    cannot get rid of my caravan

    2 weeks is a very short time, so don't feel too disheartened at this stage. We have just sold ours, and it took 11-12 weeks. Only one enquiry during that time, but I always knew the first to see it would buy. We advertised on both caravanfinder and autotrader. Our ad was spotted on...

    "L" shape lounges

    We have had both L shaped and bench type seating. We are getting our third caravan and getting a four beth L shape - by far our prefered layout. HTH Cara

    L shape lounges in vans

    Had both seating arrangements. 'L shaped' for us!

    Drivel

    Tina, I think I know the accident you are referring to. The young boy killed, (Adam?) was a classmate of my son. That school year was in the process of doing their GCSE's, so I guess he would have been 15. The reality is that any of our children could have gone along with the proposed...

    First visit to Lakes in October, any suggestions?

    For a first outing I would recommend Limefitt. I agree there has been a change since new ownership and it is expensive - but the setting is superb. I really don't think you would have any problems out of season in a caravan especially if you use a 'super pitch' (the only pitches we have used'...

    Unbelievable!

    "Let's just enjoy our great hobby and as long as people are not rude, offensive or hurtful- then let them get on with their holiday the way they like it". Well said - sums it up for me. (And I don't have a windbreak, 4x4, awning etc). I am not in the least bit fussed about how people CHOOSE to...

    Barring & controlling forum abusers

    I am a member of several very sucessful forums (www.pcadvisor.co.uk and www.ukcampsite.co.uk for instance) - none of which require a subscription. Dare I say, in a general sense and not directed at you, some of the forum members comments give the impression that this particular forum is a god...

    Tom Tom 300 Navigation system

    We used TT300 to travel from Merseyside to Scotland and found it very useful and, apart from one 'one way street' which we realised before following the instruction, it was spot on. However, my brother used it to travel to Pembrokeshire and tells me that roundabout exits were sometimes...

    Senator Series 5. Bathroom window

    This subject has been mentioned on other forums - a clear window in the bathroom would now be very much on my 'must have' for my next caravan! Our Swift van also has a clear window - and I too was very apprehensive. However, more often than not, we have found we are not overlooked at the rear...

    Caravan Club Sites -vs- Everyday 4 or 5 star rated sites

    We are members of CC. However my three favourite sites are not CC - Limefitt (Lake Distict), Glen Nevis (Fort William)and Fforest Fields (Mid Wales). We are not seeking out sites with entertainment, but enjoy a beautiful location and a bit of peace and quiet and these fit the bill perfectly in...

    Scotland sites

    Just back (yesterday!) from Glen Nevis, just outside Fort William. Stunning location, extremely well managed and the most excellent facilities for those who need them. Also excellent base for the area.

    Choosing a layout

    Ann, I am curious - why can't couples relax in an L shaped layout?

    posh caravaners

    Do you think it could be that it is your 'expectation' that owners of certain caravans/cars are going to be 'snobs' rather than the reality? Don't let your expection cloud the reality - there's snobs in all walks of life and they dont all have new caravans and cars!
