Slightly off topic, but why isn't it recommended to leave them on all the time?

Especially if towed with a Volvo;)

I don't think it's a financial thing. My youngest son is 21 and he is welcome to borrow our caravan but wouldn't be seen dead in one, let alone towing it along the road. But when we wanted a motorhome he was quite keen to borrow that. He would also happily go away in a tent.

Sounds like I need to clean up the old garden furniture. Thanks everyone.

Just looking at getting some furniture for the awning and came across some inflatable sofas on Amazon. Anyone had any joy with them? Would be great to keep the weight down and easier to store if they actually survive use.

We had our first trip in our new (to us) caravan over the weekend and stayed at the CAMC Brighton site. The site was completely full over the weekend and we enjoyed our stay. We last had a caravan in about 2018 but it looks like the majority of fellow campers these days are in some sort of...

As I mentioned, it only makes sense to have one if you can charge at home at a cheap rate. Of course, if you have a company car then it does make a lot of sense to go down the EV route for benefit in kind tax benefits but possibly a big inconvenience if doing high mileage. My wife has a...

We've had a couple of electric cars, the first one before the cost of electricity went sky high. We have a low overnight rate of 7p per KW so still cheap motoring for us. But if we had to charge on the road then it would be cheaper to have an ICE car. I think this is what is buggering up the...

Trouble with cash is it's just not convenient. I went out the other day and had forgotten my wallet so just paid using my watch.

My previous car was an Audi A6 and I struggled to get into it, don't have that issue with my EV6 at all.

Hi All, I've not owned a caravan for a while and I'm considering getting one early next year. We used to keep one in storage and then drag out to a site when needed but are there any nice sites in the south east that for a reasonable fee will let you leave a van in place all the time? Don't...

Here a some to get things started. Pros More room inside. More stable (with right tow car). Easier to reverse. Cons Finding a site to store then van! Bigger on road.

That's a shame but rules are rules.

It may well be worth putting the dealers details on here if that is allowed, the quicker he is out of business the better.

That's terrible, is your van stored at home or in storage out of interest?
