The Leen at Pembridge. Quiet river bank site, about a mile road walk from the village, or 30 mins across the fields. Used to be a CC cl, now independent for 15 vans, but well spaced. Miles of off-lead dog walking, but be aware that it is a working farm, so there may be animals about.. But...

Ballynoes, might I suggest that you ask this question on "TrucknetUK". This is a lorry driver's forum, and lots of them use this set-up on a regular basis, probably more often than motorhomers would.

Or be like us, and buy one of each! Two oldies need not cost the earth, and you've got the best (&worst) of both worlds.

If you park your six metre motorhome in a caravan bay, where am I supposed to park my 10 metre caravan outfit? Caravan parking is for CARAVANS.

Three Magpies, Seend, near Melksham. Nice site, good pub.

No, because if I tell you, everyone will want to go there, and there won't be room for me!

Cheers Tony, my remark was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it would have nice if the OP had replied!

Hi Happyhacker. At risk of getting my wrist slapped, can I suggest that you google Talbot owner's club, and join their forum? The knowledge on there about our vans is phenomenal. The base van is also known as a Fiat, Peugeot, Citroen and Talbot. They are all the same except for badges, and...

JT11, if you have an empty bottle you can indeed just turn up and exchange it. The rental agreement is the way to do it if you cannot find/acquire an empty one.I have six different size Calor bottles, but I've only ever had one rental agreement! Most of the others have come from buying...

Hello everyone. My name is Emmerson and I have recently bought a classic 1987 Talbot Express Camelot. (hence the subject title!) Herself and I are dyed-in-the-wool caravanners of almost 50 years experience, but one of us (who shall be nameless) persuaded me that we could have room for a camper...
