    Flimsy Bedroom Door

    We bought a Verona Annie, and thats the only bit about the van that Im not overly keen on. We had a S6 Pageant Burgundy before this with a solid door so I completel see where you're coming from. All I can say is, the Verona is a lovely van, and I personally wouldnt let that put me off buying...

    British F1 Grand Prix

    We're stopping a little further away for the Grand Prix this year, at Cosgrove Park. On a normal day, it looks to be about 20 -25 mins drive from the circuit. We're stopping here, as they have reasonable prices for EHU's, and we would prefer somewhere a bit away from the evening action. Rest...

    House Purchase-Big Whinge

    My house has been on the market for 5 months, and we've only had 3 viewers, 2 of those were complete timewasters. So if anyone wants to buy a lovely traditional 3 bed semi in Scunthorpe, give me a shout.

    Any cheaper alternatives for a satellite dish to a tripod?

    I bought the same system Steve, and Ive used the old tripod from a worklight thats been sat in the garage for years.

    Fixing Satellite Dish

    Hi Adrian. I bought this system a couple of days ago too. The LNB needs the cable connection facing downwards. I found that when trying to get a good signal, the Strength indicator was reasonably good, but I couldnt get anything very good on the quality indicator until I actually pressed...

    Any reviews of the following sites?

    to be honest, I dont think we'll be spending too much time onsite at Cosgrove, we're stopping there as a base for the F1 Grand Prix at Silverstone.

    Stealth - anyone bought one

    I agree, but the INOS is really nice, I'd have one if I had a spare £36K and a sherman tank to tug it with

    Administration charge

    Theres a difference there though Steve, in the fact that you have no other options. I dont know about other people, but I will book a site because I want to visit a particular area. If I havent been there before I will check sites out first, and I havent been in the position so far where...

    Any reviews of the following sites?

    I agree completey, I think there is an element of snobbery starting to appear. We have only beeen caravanning for a couple of years, and we're lucky enought to be able to afford a new van, however the first van we bought was a pre 1980's Esprit Panache. Not everyone is in a position to buy...

    Our dog on holiday

    To be honest I wouldnt let one person get you into that frame of mind. Did they speak to you personally about Harley, or just moan to everyone else? Our dog was a rescue dog, we had her 13 years before she passed away 18 months ago, and we found for the first year or so, she was still really...
