Our TV socket next to the 13 amp input is for satellite. When TV signal is poor I connect to an on-site bollard supplying a TV signal and have adapted a small length of cable which attaches from the van satellite socket to the TV.

Just a thought for you Stephan, we were on a motorway cruising at 55mph and my wife happened to look behind and noticed the front window catches were undone. To cut to the chase, it was vibration from unbalanced wheels. If you are going to replace the tyres do get them balanced, it might solve...

We had a Kampa 400 pro Air, very happy with it, but ten years later I find that trying to lift the awning from the car to the pitch at 38kgs. It is heavy. Now opted for a much lighter awning which is easier to handle.

Get a metre length of string, tie a small piece of cloth to each end, spray furniture polish on one and enter it into the awning channel, pull it through and pull it back. Replace with the dry piece of cloth to polish it. Works a treat.

On the Crit-air website it states that once purchased it is good for the life of the car.

I completely agree with you. Also when the reporting the traffic news they speak so quickly that you can’t always understand.

I always found effective is a length of tough string, on one end tie a small piece of soft cloth 2” x 2”, the same the other end. Spray one cloth with furniture polish and pull it through the awning rail a couple of times, then use the other piece to polish off a couple of times, it will pull...

I agree with you Mr P. Having had numerous poled awnings and while erecting the last one the wind caught the pole and we ended up with a lovely dent in the van wall. Changed to an air, Kampa Air 400. Heavy to put in and out of the car, we erect it the same as you do. I pull it through with...

Kai if you are interested Midland Farm are charging our daughter £400. Per year. Just over £7.60 a week

You could try Midlands Farm near Bordon. 01428 712201. They do have a waiting list but it’s quick. CASSOA approved.

And when you have ingested all the above it might be a good idea to get a small A5 exercise book and partition it off and mark the partitions with the things you require to take, His, Hers, Dogs, Last minute things, while away you will need to remedy things when home so I have one marked, To...

Have you thought of trying another car which has a similar socket you could plug the caravan into.

I have moved to them, £126.00 new for old. My current insurer upped the cost to over £300.00, CMC wanted over £450.00, nothing was below £285.00, I got disenchanted looking. I am hoping this is a kick to all the insurance companies to return to sensible prices.

We have a Next Base and Halfords wired it in to both of our cars so we can move it from car to car. The only thing I found was that when I was sitting in the car one afternoon and saw three people acting in a suspicious manner, I downloaded the footage, but the light was so poor you could not...

Having learnt to ski in Scotland at the Cairngorms (Aviemore) at the base of the hill is the Glenmore Campsite which is equipped for winter activities. I found that if it snowed it would come in a westerly horizontally, no two days are rarely the same when skiing in Scotland. I would think...
