Hi We had Bailey caravans for years and never covered them, there was a question on if it would damaged them.. Two years ago though we purchased an Eriba from Automotive Leisure and at the same time a cover from them for it. The cover as is always the case with Automotive Leisure is...

I would think another reason people may be reticent about changing over to EV may be that the 'shelf life' of a particular EV may be very short as they're being replaced at a rapid rate. Much quicker the ICE cars, plus I read the resale values plummet due to this very reason. Also the method...

I would guess Dyson have pulled out because the major car companies have now past the tipping point and are committing to full EV car production. With established car production techniques already in place I would think they will be far better placed to produce quality EV's for the...

We noticed last year that, like cars, now you have to plow through the bumph to find the actual price of units as they quote the finance deals first. Generally though most of the accessories are eye watering prices. Must admit with age the price of everything seems to be ludicrously high. ;)

Hi we didn't manage to get to the show this year and we decided to check out some videos on U Tube. Some of the videos we watch are excellent but what surprised us was there were very few concerning the caravans. The very biggest majority were concentrated on the motor homes and camper vans...

Yes great motor, grandchildren love it and we can stand on rear door platform area to put bikes on roof racks. Like I've said we have had it for about 6 years and it's done coming up 37K. Never heard the rumours about the powered doors but yes we had to have a new latching motor on the o/s...

Hi we've been towing with a 56 plate 2.9TS Auto for about 6 years now. We love the car but as you're planning, ours is kept just for towing, but has a run out every week just to keep it's hand in so to speak. At present we tow a Pegasus 524 1470Kg. Effortless towing and manoeuvring (we...

Just returned from Southport C.C. site again. We were there at the end of May as they opened the new extension. Great site, plenty to do and great wardens, friendly and very helpful Old toilet/shower block a little tired but it's being re-furbished in October. A tip to bear in mind if...

What I find interesting in this months Practical caravan is the Bailey Pursuit write up when it's commented on the MTPLM weight of 1420Kg being within the scope of quite a few large estate cars and small MPV's. Maybe I'm miss reading but if you play with the constantly mentioned advisory 85%...

Perhaps it's best reading the Caravan Club magazines articles when actual owners who do tow reply to surveys on certain models of vehicle. That way you're seeing an all aspects report over ownership periods. I always find them interesting reading.

Hi we tow at about 65% with a Sedona 2.9 TS auto and a Pegasus 524. Great don't think the tail will be wagging the dog anytime soon I hope. ;)

Yahoooo not long read in the Sunday paper that scientists are now convinced we're heading for global cooling. Surely means cheaper fuel, cheaper tax on big cars and incentives to get gas guzzlers back on the road to warm up the earth again. Along with milder winters and hotter summers, best...

Royston We recently had a Kia Sedona 2.9 TS auto 'overheating' on the way to and all around Dorset and on the way back. We checked fuses, fans and relays to no avail After getting to Oxford and staying for 3 nights we finally hit the M40 at 25 m.p.h. Needless to say we had to call the AA...

Hi some friends were telling us of how on a recent trip to Cornwall they found they had no electrics on the caravan when they came to hitch up to come home. Landrover assist unfortunately couldn't get to them at the time so arranged for the AA to help. On arriving the AA guy found the supply...

We were musing on the point of being in the AA for years whilst in Dorset this year. A chap was extolling the virtues of Red Pennant who were giving him excellent service at the time. As it turned out we had a problem with our tow car which was giving real problems but turned out to be...
