    CC "European Tours and Excursions"

    I did look at those just recently, but can't understand the pricing, it seems rather high just for site fees and maybe a coach ride? Or is it me?

    NEC Motorhome and Caravan Show 14-19 October 2014

    We went on Tuesday, it's about 90 miles from home, it took us three and a half hours!! Road works, general congestion. Walked for ever looking at caravan layouts mostly, had an expensive cuppa :angry: . Left at 5.30, not having seen everything. Isn't it annoying when you get home and read the...

    e-mail

    Whenever I log in, I'm allowed in, but I get the 'not confirmed email' message. I feel sure that I did, when I first joined, but don't get the promised email now?? Only a minor annoyance.

    Towing Advice Needed

    A very thorny issue, full of pitfalls as well as widely different opinions. I've been following some of the discussions and today made the effort to take my car to a weighbridge. Now, at least I know the true kerbweight, differing websites quoted anything from 1250 to 1550 for the same car, it's...

    Caravan TV Programme

    It has been on a few times, but I still watched it again. Did you see how many caravanners didn't use mirror extensions? Picky of me, I know. Perhaps they weren't compulsory in black and white? :)

    I've just been looking at an Adria Altea Severn. it could easily be converted to a fixed twin with generous sized beds too. It has a MTPLM of 1300kgs too!

    fixed singles

    Our second van is a nice Elddis Odyssey two berth. My wife's been hankering after a fixed twin bed layout to suit us. We came very close to splashing out £10K to change :blink: when we realised something, there's virtually no level surfaces to do anything on! Little draining board is...

    Trickle charger for 12v battery

    I'm afraid this is a waste of money in my opinion, you need a specialist, stage charger, these are more intelligent and slow down charge rate when nearing full charge. They cost a bit more, Like this...

    A good CL

    Just to get up to date, I've recently stayed here with the new management. I believe the all hard standing is new, the toilets and shower looked new too. "Such a nice welcome, everything was as described. Nice quiet site, just the occasional owl call at night and a few aircraft displaying...
