Some card suppliers really are on the ball. A few weeks ago I was buying something on the internet - not a huge purchase, a little over

Hi Adam, There was someone regularly advertising sets of decals for a wide range of caravans on eBay (caravans for sale) but I've forgotten the name. The decals came in different sizes so you had to know exactly what you needed. They could be bought in sets or individually - I bought one to...

Hi Audrey, I would not ever go to Loch Sloy again. I strongly object to paying for entertainment and entry to the swimming pool whether I intend to use these facilities or not. I don't mind paying for each use. The pitches are quite small and close together and some were prone to flooding...

Debbi, X11's suggested route is probably the best bet. Although never coming from so far south I have always taken the route through Calander, along the side of Loch Lubnaig, over the Glenogle Pass, along Glen Dochart, through Crianlarich and Tyndrum, over the Black Mount, through Glen Coe...

Union "Flag" please - not Union "Jack". Rob S.

Hi Dot, NOT Maragowan, good site as it is, but it is a very long way from the Trossachs. The Gart would be my first choice followed by Keltie Bridge. I once had a look at the Cobleand site near Aberfoyle - drove in, drove round and drove out. I once wrote an illustrated article on the...

No. Rob S.

Hi Dennis, A9 down to Inverness - an excellent (trunk) road with no problems. Nowadays I take anything from the AA Route planner with a jaundiced eye since it once gave me a route totalling over 500 miles for a journey of about 30 miles and has several times insisted I go miles out of my way...

Hi Jon, Like Malcolm L, I did not care much for this site nor did I care much for the nervous holiday drivers who drove on the centre of the drystone-wall lined narrow roads without much thought for caravanners coming towards them. Every lay-by and verge seemed to be clogged with parked cars...

Pride in the job? I get a bit teed off with assertions that German is best and British is rubbish. I had a friend, M.D of a large engineering company, who scoffed at "German is best" and maintained that, when German engineers encountered a problem, their method of curing it was to throw more...

Hi Jennifer, In forty years of caravanning, always with second-hand vans, I never had a commercial service except in the case of two of them where service was offered prior to collection. One was excellent and the other diabolical! I'd never buy even a wheel barrow from that particular dealer...

Hi Stan, I have bought four second hand caravans from Knowepark Caravans and would recommend this company without hesitation. Duncans of Wishaw are also excellent but Knowepark has the bigger selection. Rob S.

Hi Jadie, Despite what Will says, put in two or three dehumidifiers with crystals. After six - eight weeks you will be surprised at how much water is in the containers and consider this - if it wasn't in the containers then that amount of water would have been dissipated elsewhere in your...

Thanks, Plotter, did as you advised - all O.K. now. As you might have guessed, I'm computer illiterate, but I learn something every day on these forums! Rob S.

Hi All, Is anyone else having difficulty logging on to carryoncamping? I've entered www.carryoncamping.org into Google a number of times and keep getting the message "no match found". Am I missing something? Rob S.
