    Draft skirt

    I used a few suction pads with loops on. Get them from any accessory shop. Just put a hole through the fabric part of the skirt and off you go.

    Whats wrong with 1% of Wardens

    I remember being almost chased around a site because I had dared to let my front wheel drive on the grass. The warden,not there now,proceeded to rant at me telling me it had taken him months to get the grass looking so good. This is on a site where they close grass pitches after a rain shower...

    Bailey Olympus faults - Beware

    At least you get a 10 year warranty and can park your car on the roof !!!! Seems with all this 21st century technology you still get the shoddy build quality.

    Excess Cable with 13 pin adaptor

    When I bought my S-max which had the 13pin already fitted I simply got under the caravan and repositioned the cable clips back towards the fuse box - thus it took away some of the excess length.
