Looking to replace my lovely Volvo XC90 to tow the Unicorn Pamplona. Short list is another XC90, Jaguar F Pace or Volvo XC60. All would be about 3 years old, diesel and automatic. Has anyone got experience with owning and towing with any of these? Thanks for your help.

I've been looking at one of these for a while - CELLO 22" INCH 12 volt LED TV DVD FREEVIEW HD & SAT, HDMI 1080P CARAVAN TV 12v | eBay Any one else got one? The only thing that's stopped me buying so far is that I'm in France and they don't ship here. It will have to wait till we come back...

I think that's an E93A Popular, the Anglia looked similar and you are correct, the Prefect had 4 doors and (pre 100E) was a different shape.

1st car was a Ford Prefect 107E (558 AXP) then a Ford Corsair 2000E (RYP 480E) then a Ford Cortina 1600E (CYX 419H). I could carry on but OH will think I'm sad for remembering not only the cars but the reg numbers as well!!

Don't quite understand the 2 x 6 days in France and 85 in Spain. This will not be allowed. The 90 days starts from the date you land in the first country - in your case France. Therefore, in theory, the authorities only have to look at the date you arrived and work out how long you've been...

Welcome to the forum - did you have any problem registering it in Spain? What part of Spain are you?

Hi Juanjo, if your car is UK registered then the 'van doesn't need to be registered in Spain. On another point, would it be in secure storage?

Ah, sounds like the CNIT certificate is the one to use even though its in French, It has all the relevant details.

Thanks again Lutz. The C of C issued by Bailey is not accepted in France - don't know why. They insist on a CNIT certificate which is issued by Bailey and other manufacturers and makes registration as easy as falling off a croisant! However if the normal CofC is acceptable in Spain then...

Thanks very much for your reply Lutz. Next question. In France it's easy to register a recent UK caravan using the CNIT certificate which the manufacturer supplies. Can this be used in Spain or is there something similar.?

Bit of a long shot, but I'll try anyway. Here in France, caravans are registered like a car and have their own unique number plates. A friend has his Bailey registered here and is thinking of moving to Spain to live. Does anyone know if the same procedure of separate registration applies in...

Yes, but would the gas light in the first place if this was the case?

A friend has a Dethleffs 'van (about 2004) with a 3 burner hob. The gas lights but won't stay alight even after holding the knob in for some time. It's the same for all three burners. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? I imagine there must be some sort of thermocouple but is it just one for...

Hi, Whereabouts in France are you? We are just south of Limoges.

As I understand it, the French authorities are only allowing passengers from the UK to France who can prove that they are, either, returning to their main residence or travelling for business purposes or for medical reasons. Here in France the current lockdown arrangements are in force (and far...
