    alko wheel clamps

    The only sensible way to fit wheel locks is by using a jack, dragging must induce stresses on the lock bolts, the wheels and the chassis, I would have thought. I do agree that the alko jack saupplied is not " user friendly" and am still looking for a practical alternetaive. We also have a Delta...

    Overnight halt off M5

    We have stopped at Tewekesbury Abbey for about the last 5 years on the way back from Cornwall, it is very handy for walking into town. there is a security gate, but it has always been open before we have attempted to leave. A phone call to the warden will tell you what time it is opened.

    New Truma SE mover

    I have just had a Truma TE mover (with Auto engage) fitted to my twin axle van. Why didnt I do it sooner. It works fine and, so far, seems to be fool proof.

    Wastemaster theft

    We Had a windbreak stolen one night in Cornwall last year. Neither we, or the couple in a tent on the next pitch, heard a thing. Needless to say every thing is now marked with our registration No. ( an alternative could be your Pin No. or even your CC membership No.) Incidentally on a recent...

    Shed some light, please!

    Ive had this problem too and managed to dismantle the opening stays and removed the upper part of the rooflight from inside the van without removing the frame. You just need to turn the top part on the diagonal to drop it down thro the opening. Hope this helps, good luck.

    Yorkshire to Dorset towing

    Sorry have just re read your post and see that you intend to use the A43 so you wont pass Warwick services. however Cherwell Valley services is at the junction of the A43 as it joins the M40. Theres not many other options down the A43/A34 for caravans unless you were intending to stop for longer.

    Warwick services on the M40 will probably be about halfway for you and they do have some dedicated parking for caravans. That if it is not full of white vans,
