swop not swamp !!

It sounds like I have the same sort of usage as you. Mine usually last two years on average. I still carry two though because I got two when I bought the van. If you only have one, just make sure you know where the nearest Calor gas dealer is. A lot of sites will be able to swamp them. It's...

Do you mean the Park Resorts caravan park at Eyemouth? They do have excellent views, but not from any of the touring pitches. There are a small number of touring pitches (20ish) but they are mostly taken up with seasonal tourers. The other problem is you cannot put an awning up on over half of...

Try this place :- http://www.goosewood.co.uk/tourers/ It is open for around 11 months and they take seasonal tourers, not sure what the cost is. It has recently changed hands and they do seem to be putting more lodges on the park but still very nice. Excellent facilities including adventure...

Sorry, only just noticed the reply. Honestly I'm not making this up to demonstrate my point !! I meant notification via email that somebody has replied. Should have put this in my original post. Preview tends to be more useful if you want to insert hyperlinks, different fonts and pictures...

I'm with E&L at the moment. As you said they are cheap but they tend to get a lot of negative press. The main problems seem to be that you have to read the security requirements very carefully as they are much more detailed than other companies. Unless you store your caravan as an approved...

Obviously much improved over the last site, big change, well done. Just a couple of points I'd noticed :- Very strange that the top level forum categories re-order based on most recent post. Not sure I can see the benefit as most people want to look in certain categories rather than just...

I thought it might be useful for people considering buying a van for the first time to have a list of pointers to consider. I'd never been inside a touring caravan until I bought mine last year so my requirements developed as I went around the dealers. Based on what I bought then and what I've...

Sorry if this is stating the obvious but your recommended weight would be 85% of the cars kerbweight. 1600kg sounds like you've got a pretty big car so you should be okay towing most vans.

I'm looking at getting a porch awning from NR Awnings, tend to get very good right up and very good value for money.

No personal experience but was once looking in the area and considered this... Old Hall Caravan Park - Carnforth http://www.charis.co.uk/oldhall/tourers.html

Sounds like a known fault that's been kicked around on various forums. The problem is that the temp. sensor is mounted on/close to the heater itself, hence it cuts out and must cool before you get hot air back again. Speak to your dealer about getting a remote sensor fitted this should be done...

Try this place for new, sorry don't know any seconds. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tjobrien/obcamp/Seitz.htm#hinged

Jim, This is common for many makes of caravan. From a thread on another forum it appears that manufacturers are unwilling to pay dealers fairly for warranty repairs. Something about the dealer making plenty of money from the sale so having to share some of the responsibility. Hence if you...

You may want to consider reading this link http://www.caravanning-online.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Accessories;action=display;num=1101417826;start=4#4 Sounds like the same porch awning, if so you might want to reconsider.
