    CLARKSON THE COMPLETE IDIOT.

    Oh dear, It would appear from some of the comments above that maybe Clarkson was right, It was so funny, and caravaners are never going to change the minds of those who dislike the very thought of such a pastime. I love our van but I live in the New Forest and every summer you can see the...

    Freeview/dvd/tv

    Smiley You could record on a DVD recorder that does not have a freeview tuner but you would have to feed the programme from the TV to the recorder by use of either the SCART lead or an Rf out lead if your TV has that socket. You would then need to have the Tv and the recorder on and the TV...

    Touring caravan as permanent holiday home?

    Paul We were going to go for a static caravan as a holiday home but the cost, site fees and being tied to and at the mercy of one particular caravan park put us off. We eventually went to the caravan show and came away with a Abbey GTS Vouge 420, there are just the 2 of us. We have found a...

    So did you respect / were YOU nice to caravan drivers before ...

    Paul, Ruth I will be honest I live on the main route into the New Forest and Bournmouth, and caravans drive me mad, but then so do slow drivers, day trippers and old drivers in Volvos wearing Hats!!!! It is easy to generalise drivers into groups but during the summer months we get more than...

    Mines up until October

    Having recently purchased a nice new Dorema awning I was wondering if I now hold the record for putting it up 5 hours!!! Our van is on a seasonal pitch so we couldnt practice out of sight, mistake one. But hey I'm an engineer how hard can it be??? So we unpack the box and the boss says I'll...

    compass for sky dish

    As a new caravaner it is sad to see that there are such sad people as Colin about, I had hoped for a friendly bunch. If we want to watch the Tv who does he think he is to suggest that we need to get a life, Sadly I can just picture him in his bobble hat or cap discussing routes to camp sites and...

    Abbey Vogue 420

    We took delivery of our GTS Vogue 420 at Easter, and we are delighted with it. I have large shoulders and the shower is a tight fit but more than useable and the equipment all works well. We tow with a Ford mondeo 2.5Ltr and it was no trouble at all. I find the bed comfortable as the mattress is...
