    Manchester Caravan Show January 2023

    Hi to all and seasons greetings to all. Just wondered what others felt about this show next year. After a few years without a show in Manchester, it has moved back to the old G-Mex in Manchester which while more central with easier access, it is a much smaller venue than that previously used...

    Will an upsurge in refurbishments leading to more break downs ?

    To Galgo, I am rather pleased you have posted, I have been considering a similar one for a few weeks now. While one of the main features of this blog is to help and share knowledge and experiences I have to admit that I feel the same as you do. The quality of recent blogs has been poor due to...

    Caravan Club Sites, closed season and the wardens.

    Hi Thingy, I think their 'I don't Know' answer was quite polite and the very probably the correct answer. Not all sites are manned over the closed period, some are and some intermittently. The Club will not have known who you are, from Adam and there is always a security aspect to your type of...

    2019 Lunar Clubman - Dometic blinds problem

    Hi All, Just happy to get closure on this item and information to other Lunar owners. The blind was found to be a Dometic manufacture and just as I reported this to my dealer, Lunar went into Liquidation. My dealer was optimistic of obtaining the new blind, but the difficulty was that it was...

    Hi Thanks to you both for replying. I have looked at the video and will take on board the advice given. I simply wanted to see if it was a self fix item before contacting the dealer, again my thanks

    Safefill bottle supplies

    Hi All, I can answer my own question now, for advise to anyone considering purchase. Safefill received a supply of new bottles early June and have used all of that delivery to send out to their dealers, leaving themselves without any stock, which is on their website. I was able to buy...

    Hi Folks, Can anyone out there help please. Nearside window blind has collapsed upon closing it last night on site. The cords are limp and the blind will no longer stay in place. I have looked but cannot see anywhere to look inside to investigate if its just a retensioning job or as I...

    Bunree and awnings.

    We agree with the replies to the OP. We had a 'Midnight Awning incident' here in the late 90's, we folded everything underneath the van till the morning, intending to dry it out and pack it in the bag. The morning following was a beautiful one with sunshine from the word go, no wind at all and...

    Bailey Unicorn Seville 2016 - Bed Box Tale

    Hi All, A cautionary tale for those with this van. We are in the middle of our hols in Norfolk and usually sleep with the two single beds. We have had to keep on top of many loose screws in the van, principally the seat backs, I know there has been much previous on this item, the washroom door...

    Ferry Prices

    Hi to Spinney, How can you compare the two routes, operationally wise ? One - Dover - is a high frequency, multi operator service. Yours - Poole - is not the same by any means - frequency or operation. They are not comparible in service, journey times or vessel types. You must have heard the...

    Please sign to save the Norfolk Coasthopper bus

    Well Mealsonwheels - Most of your prayers have been answered! It would appear that Lynx Bus (Kings Lynn) will operate a much reduced service (hourly at best) from Kings Lynn to Wells along the old Coasthopper route. This bus will continue to Fakenham replacing Stagecoach Norfolk's old 29...
