Hi Richard As i am in my first year of caravanning, i have noticed the same thing, what idiots we have on the road. I have been out about six times this year up to now, and came up against a few idiots who see you coming towing a caravan and decide to pull out in front of you. You have heard...

I was out for the first time with the new Adria caravan at the weekend, at the Kelso bike show. Managed to tow the caravan alright ( as it was my first time on towing on the open roads ). But on Saturday morning i managed to lock my self out of the caravan with the keys still inside the...

Mark & Sharon. Digital SLR are total different to the old film SLR. I have a Canon 350D, i have a 28 by 135 Canon IS lens plus a Sigma 50 by 500 APO-FX-DG Lens, and i get great results, but at the end of the day with Digital imagine it come down to the Photo soft ware you use on your computer...

Hi Roger. I am like you new to caravanning, i would recommend you try one of the caravan courses, that the Caravan Club or the Camping and caravan clubs run. I would not buy the caravan clubs video as i think it is a waist of money, i bought it my self and cost me

BeemerMal. The reason their was 16 years between sitting my driving was purely down to financial reasons at that time, the company i worked for at that time paid for half the lesson and i paid for the other half, but when i failed my test the company would not pay for any more lesson, and the...

Martin "E" Thanks for that, Well put.

Lenny. Like millions of other driver before January 1997 have failed to pass their test first time. At least i was honest enough to tell everyone it took me three attempts to pass my driving test, their are thousands of drivers on the road trailing 2000kg caravan on the back of their cars that...

Throwing in comments about driving vehicles with more than 8 seats is a red herring, it is already a condition that ANY driver , regardless of when the test was passed, has to take another test to drive bigger seating vehicles,to gain the PCV entitlement. You will find that you are wrong...

Who agrees with me that the Caravan and Trailer test for which was introduced on the 1st January 1997 is unfair on the divers who passed their test on or after 1st January 1997. The reason i say this is, the newer driver is getting punished under the D.V.L.A. Safe Driving for life campaign, i...

Hi Karen. I know exactly what you are meaning when you go on about Bad Dealers. I live in Scotland, it's just in the last year that I have got in to Caravanning. I decided to buy a new caravan, So I ordered a new Hobby caravan from a dealer in Scotland, What a nightmare that was, To cut a...

Colin from Yorkshire. As a smoker and I agree with some of the things you say. But I don't think you will be lighting up in your cab when no ones there, ( Their is always someone watching you ) I don't know if your local council will agree with you or not, that's if they are the one's who...

Hi Mark. Sorry to hear that your son has Heart Problem. I take it your son was born with Heart problems, and smoking was not the cause of his heart problem. Plus by the sound of it your a very anti smoker person anyway, You say you can't take your son out any place where smoking is permitted...

Hi mcghee. Just a wee update on the situation regarding the " next week " - ( Stonehouse Cowboy Dealer ). After having to cancel the new Hobby caravan i ordered from a dealer in Scotland, because of a number reason that were the dealers fault, at the end of the day the dealer is refusing to...
